We went to the gym today. I slept awful last night and I felt it working out. It was so hard. Then I came home and scrubbed down 5 litter boxes and the litter box room - whoa, that made the gym look like nothing, LOL!

We are having a little rain storm right now (yay! we are so dry) but when it passes I plan to go swimming.

Well i have lost a kg thats like 2.2 pounds this week despite my not very good efforts, how did i do it, it is called stress, i am feeling so worried about my lil cat Lexie and the outcome, that i have not been able to eat much, my stomach is in knots, i guess it is the silver lining in the black cloud, but honestly i would prefer to loose it the normal way, by dieting.

Don't worry Lori, i know what you mean how it can last a week or more, just put it behind you and move on, and take each day as it comes,we all have to remember even if we blow it by one over-eating at one meal time or day, we can just get back on track the next day or meal, not always as easy as it sounds, but it can be done, GOOD LUCK everyone.

I was the same today. I went to the gym - in the midst of a migraine. I thought it was going away but I think I made it worse. I've had it all week so I think I am just weaker than usual. I could barely bench press the bar! I'm such a weenie today, LOL! Then I only got in 15 minutes of cardio because I just felt so horrible . . . finally gave it up and came home.

Now it's 10:15 p.m., I'm drinking coffee, hoping that the caffine will help my migraine (putting off taking more meds) - hope this isn't a BAD idea. I probably won't sleep at all tonight . . .

Today I went for a walk and a swim!

I just want to show you ladies these sites about weight training...

Part One

Part Two

you have to train with weights that are heavy for you, or simply loads that you can handle for 3-6 repetitions

Just a little food for thought for you all!

Thanks for posting that Jackie!

Lots of women believe that if they lift, they'll get big like men, but the fact is, women CAN'T get like that. It's just not natural (unless you take drugs of course) I always encourage women to lift weights . . . I weight train right along side my hubby & the results have been fantastic! I'm getting the body I never dreamed of having!

That is a great article, I hope everyone takes the time to read through it.

I'm here!! Going to bed now though but today will be my first day! Will defiantly be trying the exercises at home because I got a confidence thing about going to the gym Bit sad I know .. but Its a start

Is cous cous good for you? I just tried some and its actually quite nice if you mix it with some veg, anyway would it be more healthier than a sandwich for work? I'm also swaping white bread for wholemeal so that wont be as bad as white everyday.

OK I am tossing up whether or not to go to a movie tonite,but i find it incredibly hard, as popcorn and the most yummy ice cream in the world are there for the taking, and i just love to eat something while at the movies, just habit i suppose, so has anyone any idea of a yummy low fat snack i could have instead, just so my jaws don't pack up on my from the lack of chewing lol,just kiddin.
