    Usually I do strength training every other day (and cardio six days a week, at least thirty minutes of it). So today I was able to get at least thirty minutes of cardio in (plus working as a swim instructor has it's perks, I'm always swimming to catch up with my students). I'm glad that everyone is pushing through! Keep on going!

    After 12 perfect days, I went over my calorie goals by 179. Hubby is out of town and I do better when he his home because he is the cook in the family. Anyway, I know where I went wrong, being honest about it, and ready to tighten up tomorrow.

    Thanks Robbie_1982! I am enjoying hearing from everyone, also congrats on the 7lbs, that's fab!

    Good luck on your deadline ryanp_942! I submitted my thesis at the end of last year so the memories are still fresh enough to feel your pain.

    I've had a great day today (well technically yesterday now). I got a new job and I went for my first outdoor run since moving to the northern hemisphere. 7km of joy, yay :-)

    This is exactly the attitude you need to have. Keep that up!

    Hello! I adopted a 10 week old puppy and she is exhausting! So, for now, that's my exercise...chasing her around the yard and trying to get her to walk on a leash. I think I'm going to B&N this weekend to get some training books because I am clueless and agrevated :s Feel free to friend me! I don't get on this group very often, but only because I am super busy. But I do sign on to MFP pretty much daily. xoxo's

    Thank you electriq, it's getting there slowly but surely!

    Hey schneizilla, the full title is "The pharmacological targeting potential of circadian and molecular rhythms" (translation: drugs to target the body clock). It was interesting to learn just how important a good sleeping pattern is - a bad one contributes to weight gain, CVD, diabetes etc.

    I've had a good day, stayed within all my calorie & nutrient goals (even pesky sugar!) and barely felt hungry at all :)

    Good afternoon or whatever the timezone appropriate greeting would be for you right now,

    My day is unfolding well so far. I'm making the most of not having started my new job yet and just went for a midday run. My second out doors since I've been here and I absolutely loved it!

    I've been quite off target with my calorie intake the last few days. I am 5 days smoke free so I've given myself a few days spaciousness to adjust however I am planning to be back on track today, so far so good.

    Yesterday I went to my second yoga class and loved it even more. I am definitely converted. Any fellow yoga people here? I'd especially be interested in talking to anyone just beginning like me.

    Hope everyone is doing well and has something enjoyable planned for the weekend.

    I am getting to spend some well overdue time with my wife, yay!

    Thank you!
    Today has been much better in terms of cravings. I'm actually using a great app for quitting smoking called quitsmokingapp :-) ...I highly recommend it

    Friday night was cocktail night so I was obligated to go over my calories a little. I remember craving a pizza when I got home but thankfully I passed out before I could order one!

    Good luck on quitting smoking electriq :)

    I've had a couple of pretty unhealthy days. My co-workers like to bring in desserts and other snacks for everyone and leave them sitting on the table in the break room. The last couple of weeks I've been pretty good about avoiding them but I gave in on Thursday and Friday and am too afraid to actually log the calories.

    Hopefully I will do better next week. I will at least probably be right at my calorie goal today.

    Yesterday I went WAY over my calorie goal. Like, 2.6x over the goal. Oopsies.

    It was a good day though. :)

    Hello everyone!

    I'm recovering from a mammoth effort this morning. I ran 11km (6.8mi) then walked to the gym (30 mins), took a hard core hour long spin class and then walked (45 minutes) to the awesome sushi place near me. Mama mia!

    I think I will have my legs up for the rest of the day

    Haha, I have been wanting to see that, I will be sure to have tissues on me!

    How has everyone else's weekend been?
