Oops...not to worry though, Spurs! You can get back to where you need to be this week. I've fallen a few times but overall, I have lost 10 lbs since New Year....even managing a 2lb loss during birthday week last week!! :-)

Which reminds me...Face - happy belated Birthday wishes to you. Hope you had a good one!

same to you Twirls, I remembered on Sunday, but it was already too late, then I forgot to say something again!

I put it down to aging... haha

Encouraging words, Twirls! I am trying to be extra special good for the remainder of the week and work out twice as much, so...We will see... And Happy Belated Birthday.

Happy belated birthday to you both.....I've been very forgetful about these things lately

Thanks Ladies!

@Face - I know what you mean about that aging thing. I swear I get so distracted by things these days. It's like I'm getting late-onset ADHD. Is there such a thing??

Ok, I in no way, shape or form advocate losing weight by eating what I ate last week and my very little exercise, but instead of crying at the scale this morning, I was laughing....like a maniac! I lost 1.2lbs!! Crazy...

That happens to me sometimes as well, Spursfan. I think your body holds on to fat when you restrict your calories and then when you consume more it says 'oh okay I'm not starving!' Just my opinion - I don't have any scientific facts to back this up. :-)

Makes sense to me! I will not, however, be using that approach this week!

Hey SpursFan, hope it is going well and was going to post the pre-long haul exercises here as I thought of you when I stumbled on them today.

PS

here's a 7-minute workout for anyone

I like it! Thanks!

Thanks gordonrussel. This looks good - I watched a documentary about HIIT and this fits into that. I am going to try it!

Well, it's useful in a morning when you don't have much time but I think to get real benefit you have to do it at least twice, probably 3 times.
