    How is everyone today? Hope you had a lovely Easter weekend.

    I'm not off work :( boooo we dont get the bank/local holidays so I'm working - but I did go to the gym this morning 6.45am until 8am so I got lots done and I'm back for a spin class at lunch time.

    yup Overdraft well and truely gone (for the 2nd and last time!!!). Only the credit card to go :)
    Just back from the gym, the spin class was soooo empty and I was the only one left at the end for the abs class. Got a great work out and feeling it now - I'll be getting measured next Wednesday so I'll post up here how I get on!

    :jWell done on getting rid of the OD Kmac:j:j

    Blue it sounds like you have been doing what i call sneaky exercise, things that you wouldnt do normally that mean you dont notice you have exercised when really you have, well done :T

    Ive had a very naughty weekend, eaten some chocolate (not too much considering i had 4 easter eggs and still have 3 left plus all the chocolate extras) had pizza, had chocolate cake, ate out twice and some naughty bits in between as well.

    I even had a nice salad ready for tea and then the words pizza hut were mentioned and ummm well the salad is still in the fridge, did manage to do some course work thou and a bit of exercise in the form of ummm shopping.

    In all a lovely weekend but very bad on the food and money front - must try harder!!

    and i still need to pull my finger out and sort out the swimming pool, and a bunch of other stuff, aaaaaa its all too complicated lol hope this week is better!!!!

    :j:jThanks Guys!

    Dont worry about being a wee bit naughty - I had 3 months of just going mad all over the place with money and food, at least its just been a weekend for you. Plus if you dont treat yourself every so often you'll get bored and loose motivation.

    Did another hours workout at the gym this morning and have a spin class at 1pm for 30 mins. I'm starting to see results and its only been 2 weeks that I've been really going for it. I feel alot more awake as well and my hunger levels have dropped which has to be a good thing?!

    How is everyone else this morning? xx

    Hi Kmac,

    Well done on all of the gym work!!!!

    I have had a much better day on the food, although im now along in my room with easter eggs so really not sure how the evening will pan out lol.

    Hope everyone has had a good day :)

  • Hi All,

    Well how is everyone doing?

    Are you all managing to keep up the exercise? I must admit now that the sun is out its much nicer walking around and i even managed to turn down a lift home last night in favour of a nice stroll home :)

    Food has been bad over the weekend. I've got a stone to loose and have set a target of loosing 6lbs in two weeks becuase i really need to get back on it - hopefully since my house mate is doing it too it will be relatively easy. Wish me luck lol

    Hiya Puzzled :D

    My fitness is still going well, I've upped the stakes now to a workout every morning at 6:45am before work and then a spin class at lunch time. Every 2 weeks I see my trainer as well so thats always handy!

    I've not weighed myself and I've asked Andrew not to tell me what I weigh because I know I'll be heavier than I was last time, but I've lost some wobble and shedding those ins so something is going right!

    How are you? xx
