Only Day 4 of 30DS and I feel like a zombie, lol:)
Am I being a complete and utter weakling or what?!! Started 30DS on Monday and found it a tough 20 minutes. On Tuesday I found it much easier. Yesterday and today it's just getting tougher and tougher and I feel so weak each time I do it. My limbs aren't aching as much as they were a couple of days ago but I just feel so…

What's the importance of sodium?
It might seem a stupid question to some. I mean, I know we have to have salt in our bodies. But I've just changed my settings to track my sodium intake as I thought my diet might be high in salt and it turns out I'm getting nowherre near enough sodium as I should be. What woud be the harm in it? How on earth do I increase…

Weekends are my downfall
Hi all My downfall is always always the weekends. I have the wrong mindset. As soon as it gets to Friday evening, I associate it with wine and pizza. And then, because I've done bad and it's the weekend, I tend to just eat and drink what I want till Monday when it's the usual 'Diet starts on Monday'. I'm undoing all the…

30 day shred - what size weights??
Hi everyone and happy Friday! I'd never ever heard of the 30 day shred or Jillian Michaels before MFP (I'm from the UK and she's not really known here). Now that I've heard everyone raving about it, I've purchased the 30 day shred DVD from Amazon. I want to be fully prepared so I can get to it as soon as it arrives. So…

Never eat my 5 a day...
I always struggle to eat my 5 a day. I don't really like fruit and don't want to waste calories on something I don't enjoy and which really doesn't fill me (and which always pushes me over my sugar levels when I do have it). And I don't really like eating veg unless I have a sunday dinner type meal. Being veggie, I don't…

Hard core yoga
Any yoga fans out there? Now the last time I did yoga was in the late 80s with a Jane Fonda DVD. Very boring, lots of stretching and sitting still. I have always scoffed when I read about all these celebs getting their toned bods from doing yoga. However, this morning I thought I'd try a programme I'd recorded off Sky…

What was I thinking??!!!!!
I had the wise idea of buying a pair of roller skates as a fun way to exercise. I'm 37 years old for god's sake. I should have remembered that I couldn't do it at 12 years of age. Tried to go out on them at 6am this morning when the streets were quiet. Nearly broke my neck. Thank god for the love of ebay.

Any roller skaters/bladers out there
I've just bought a pair and I'm hoping to pluck up the courage (I'm 37) to get out for the odd skate here and there during the week. Just terrified I'll be like Bambi on wheels. I like to go running in the mornings and skating will be good for if I fancy exercising occasionally in the evenings. Appreciate hearing from any…

Water intake
I actually thought I was good with my water intake but now that I'm counting exactly how many glasses I am drinking I've realised I'm not! I usually drink my water plain so this might be why I'm finding it hard. If you drink cups of tea or coffee, do you include this in your water intake? Likewise, if you were to drink…
