    Glad to hear you had a good weekend Bree! It's so hard when you're socialising, don't get too down on it.

    My weekend wasn't too bad, I had a farewell party but I was pretty good, tried to stick to more salads so I wasn't hungry by dessert. I find also if I eat something before I go out I don't get so tempted.

    Also if you brush your teeth after every meal you don't feel like snacking in between :)

    I've managed to stay at 52kgs so far so if I can maintain that all week I will be happy sick of it going up and down! I've hurt my leg so I can't go to the gym but I went for a walk and a short jog yesterday but now I'm paying for it, so no exercise today except for house hold chores. i didn't get to 1200 calories anyway so thats all right.

    Hope everyone is having a good start to the week xx

    Hope everyone had a good weekend, unfortunately mine is still consumed with this damned illness, which meant no loss, upside no gain either. Today my quarantine came off, yay, great to know I'm not contagious any more :bigsmile:
    A note to everyone check your booster shots (if you believe in them), I thought that as I had my vaccinations as a child I was safe, NOT! It has been a miserable 2 weeks, not being able to do consistent exercise every day.
    Luckily I was able to still earn a wage by working from home.
    Luckily to my overseas holiday has been postponed and it gives me the goal to not just loose 10kg in 10 weeks but to reach my goal weight!!
    Now if only I can stop coughing and getting dizzy it'll be all good :laugh:

    Have a terrific day everyone :flowerforyou:

    I'm having a really good week so far and I'm determined to keep it up. I want that scale to read 58 on sunday! With the weather warming up a little it has been alot easier to keep under my calories :)

    I hope you get better soon aegira!!

    So great to hear you're doing so well this week bree! Keep it up!!

    Woo.. yesterday was intense and my legs are feeling it today! I ran an 8 minute mile as a warm up for my Pump class... I don't know the last time I ran that fast! Pump was intense... the lunge set was OMG killer, same with squats! And then 20 minutes later... level 2 of Jillian's 3DS. Wooooweeeee! :laugh: Ready to run and shred tonight and weigh in in the morning! Really hoping to lose since I've seem to hit a roadblock on the scale. :mad:

    Hey everyone!

    My week is going well so far. My eating has been really good this week, but the struggle has been fitting in daily workouts with my new job! But maybe it's a good thing. I was doing A LOT of exercise and it's probably good to back off for a week and just have a slower week to let my body recover. I'm trying to think positively at least! :laugh:

    I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 51.8kg and then when I got home from work this afternoon it was the same :) I wasn't going to log it because everytime I do it seems to change its mind but I'm hoping it's staying!!

    Went to the gym today for a short work out and then a walk up the mountain.

    Praying tomorrow the scales wont show an increase :)

    Everyone is doing so well this week!!

    I've had a really bad last couple of days. My legs have been really sore lately so I'm trying to give them a rest but It's alot harder than I thought. I hate not exercising and not being able to go for a run if I feel like it!! I've been feeling horrible and been so grumpy. My poor flatmate haha.
    I was really hoping to be 58kg this weekend but that's not going to happen now without being able to exercise. My highest weight before this year was 58kg and then I lost 3kg end of last year by eating about 600 - 900 calories a day and with no exercise. When I went back to eating normally again I gained 6kg! So when I get back to 58 it will be like starting afresh and doing things the right way this time.

    I've been in weekend mode for 2 days now because with my new job my "weekend" this week was Thursday and Friday. I think I prefer having these days off more than Saturday and Sunday actually, as long as I have someone to share it with. :laugh: Luckily my boyfriend isn't working right now so I'm visiting him. But you know what that means... My eating tends to slide off a little from my normal more healthier self!

    I am starting the Couch 2 10K program today! I'm so excited. I didn't do the C25K but since I'm already running about a 5K distance, I figured I could move up to the 10K program. I need this because I'm having a hard time increasing my running distance right now. I hope this program helps! Anybody do it before?

    I was thinking of starting a running programme too. I usually just run for however long/far I feel like at the time but lately I've been running faster and not going as far so I think it would be good for me to have something to follow. How many weeks long is the Couch 2 10k?

    Congratulations :flowerforyou:
    Hope your legs are feeling better and your flatmate has forgiven your grumpy moment :wink:

    I am finally finished with the antibiotics, I'm not sure if it's me but I feel really out of balance internally after taking the damn things for 2 weeks. So starting Monday, besides finally being allowed back to work, I am giving myself a week of 'healing', that means herbal teas and a visit to the naturopath.
    As for today and tomorrow I am blissfully whiling away the hours sewing, making teddy bears and quilting *sigh* bliss!!
    Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the good things of life (in moderation) :happy:
    Weigh in day on Monday...to be continued..........
