    I did my Curves workout for 30 minutes.
    I stayed within my calorie budget.
    I tracked everything I ate and drank.

    It was a good day here and tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warm. I think winter is officially over. Yay! B)

    Have a great week, everyone.

    I felt super tired today but I still managed to do an hour walk this morning. Just barely stayed under my calorie limit. Tracked everything. When I feel tired, I think if I eat I will feel better. It just doesn't work!! Early to bed tonight.

    @5cheetahs some do; some don't; some eat a percentage. I vary so long as my scale and belt line are giving me the same weight/width reading.

    @5cheetahs I only use if I really need to, but I would never put myself as over in calories if I did not use them.

    Had a great day today, 35 minutes on a stationary bike and 60 minutes aquamotion. I am flying home(comox, BC) tomorrow so I will be back into my routine. Will miss my daughter and grand daughter but at the same time am looking forward to getting home!

    calories yes, very proud of myself stayed within calories for the whole 5 days I was here!
    tracking yes

    @5cheetahs I tend to dip into my exercise calories, but I've only ever ate them all a few times. When I have high burn days, I definitely make sure to eat more and replenish some nutrients. I would just recommend the very general rule to do what your body tells you. If you are hungry and have exercise calories, eat them. If not, leave them.

    Yes x 3.

    Before I became a mum, I had a gym membership. Since, I can't afford one and wouldn't have anyone to look after my daughter anyway. It's been hard to shake my mindset of a real work out being in the gym or swimming. At the moment I do lots of walking and work out dvds/downloads. Lovely Uncle Rick used to tell me off when I'd check in and put "just walking" but I felt like I was cheating. Anyway, a few weeks ago I treated myself to a fitbit as my watch was broken anyway. And days like today show me that walking can count. Walking here and there today I clocked over 20,000 steps, nearly ten miles, climbed equivalent of 25 flights of stairs and had an elevated heart rate for over 2 hours. Just thought I'd put it out there if anyone else can't make it to the gym.

    20,000 steps! Yes, you can legit say you are active! That is fantastic.

    @pheobelayla Very happy you shared with your family. Best solution. Now you can relax and enjoy the week with them.

    @am_change A Fitbit is awesome; 20,000 steps in no small accomplishment.

    A good day. A one hour walk with a friend. Stayed within my calorie limit and tracked.
