    72.3 kg today. That's - 0.5 kg down on last Tuesday morning. Will see what it is tomorrow morning.

    Yesterday I talked to the fitness adviser who runs the Stretch and Tone class I go to Mondays. She advised 5 small meals i.e. almost like big snacks, protein with every meal or snack, and I did that yesterday. 2 litres of water throughout the day. Well, something seems to be working, so let's hope!

    My swimming teacher has hurt his back and is off sick, so I'm not having my lesson this morning. Will go for some practice at the time of the lunch-time Adult Swim tomorrow.

    I have lost 3.4lbs this week which I am satisfied with. I had a very good weekend which is often the decider for my overall loss for the week as Monday-Friday are easy due to structure and routine and the weekend are haphazard and all over the place, routine-wise! I also zumba'd three times and swam once too. I am on target for 70lbs loss by 4th May which is when I have to give a presentation to 120 clients - Argh!

    You could do marathon distance on a cross trainer? wow! After reading your comment earlier, I tried one out in the gym for the first time today just to see what it was like... 3 minutes and i'd had enough! If you can go the distance on one of those then well done :-)

    When I was recovering from surgery and desperate to be able to walk without crutches for my wedding I was on a huge physio drive - which included 2 hours of cross-trainering a day. I have one in one of the downstairs rooms, it's just a bit buried by boxes as I also store our ebay stuff in there! I might try to dig it out and pop on tonight or tomorrow night.

    Big progress on the protein and no carb breakfast front - I discovered if you seperate an egg, whisk the whites till stiff, then fold the yolk (beaten with a little water) back into this to make a kind of foam, cook it in the pan 3-4 mins then bang it under the grill for another 3mins, you get a kind of souffle omlette. Take it out the grill, fill one half with ham, mushrooms, chicken, peppers, whatever you fancy and fold the empty half over (I find stiring the filling with a spoon of creme fraiche makes it feel quite indulgent and keeps it all warm!). This is perfect for me as I hate eggs and this has no taste of them at all. Works well with 2 eggs for hubby sized portions.

    sounds lovely but also sounds way too time consuming for me considering its only breakfast!

    I used to share my house with a girl who enjoyed a sunday morning fry up... but, in the process of making it she somehow managed to use a ridiculously large range of kitchen equipment: several pans,knives,forks, spoons, plates and bowls of different sizes,grater, whisk, peeler.... im sure there was more than that which i cant recall anymore... at what point would you use a ladel in the making of a fry up? I never did work it all out
