    -fav work out song at the moment?
    -waitangi day plans?

    Hi Bridgie, great idea!
    I'm doing feb fast so feeling decided sober, always hard to resist wine!
    I tend not to workout to music, walk with hubby it's our together time.
    Going camping for weekend, be our last chance before the night times get too cool and my work gets busy and high pressure for end of financial year.
    Your turn?
    Anyone else?

    Foodwise peanut butter's got a pretty strong hold on me, I work with 5-13yr olds so puppy dog eyes when they want something is pretty dam hard to resist.
    Music currently enjoying timber-pitbull, shake it off-Taylor swift and all about that bass but I get bored pretty quickly and tend to go back to old favs like green day, violent femmes & off spring.
    I haven't got plans only found out it was a holiday today, kinda feels like I should do something worthwhile, camping sounds good not sure if any of my folk would be keen tho lol.

    Nice that you get to enjoy your walks with someone, where abouts in nz are you?

    My primary exercise is cycling with the occasional bit of scuba thrown in. Obviously music and scuba doesn't work, and I prefer to be able to hear the traffic while I'm cycling. Hard to resist? That's hard, there's so much; wine, ice cream, the peanut slice at my local cafe... The list goes on.

    Hi, checking in for today.
    Had some good nutritious food today, still under calorie count and still need to do a walk for the day.
    Busy day at work, not too much walking though mainly spent in office!

    I've had a shocking day eating wise. I decided after netball I would go to the super and get some good choices, left the super market pleased with everything I purchased. Got home and family had brought me fish and chips of course I could say no thanks, ha ha but really that'll happen. I lost 20kg over a year ago and then just sort of tinkered I haven't really gained but I've lost my resolve. I was so on this for so long But now I can't seem to get it together.

    You have kept most of it off though Bridgie?
    Well done for that, I read somewhere yesterday sometimes a good idea to set a weekly calorie goal so you can make up for a big eating day later on.
    Fish and Chips........c'mon, resistance is futile!!
    Don't beat yourself up, just back on track tomorrow!!

    Cheese scones are the best! 167 overs not to bad and if you on track the rest of the week you'll likely to still have a weekly deficit. I didn't exercise yesterday :\ but spent the day crawling about in the roof laying insulation so not completely lazy but I really wanted to get back in to the habit of going to the gym. PS if anyone ever says lets do it ourselves to save money say NOOOOOOOOOO! its ahorrible job and itchy stuff. Hope ecery one has a wonderful day today :)

    bridgieNZ I am in the same boat...I lost 30kg, starting from Nov 2013 and Christmas happened and I have gained about 3 to 4 kgs. I am having a bit of trouble getting my head space back into that determination again, something will click again very soon I hope, if not then I'll make it click!
