Thank you thank you thank you, Titania.

I have been very very bad ... not checking in and all. How has everyone been? I did go jogging today, but it only lasted about 3 minutes because it's difficult to run in the cold air while I'm sick (oh, and um ... I haven't exercised in so long that 3 minutes is about the max I can jog right now!) But I did keep walking at a quick pace for a bout 40 minutes.

Am I the only one struggling to not eat sweets all day.

Eeek! It's windy here, my front door just blew open! Darn latch needs replacing.

Mmmm ... smiley - cake

Well, thanks to changing from Weight Watchers to a scheme where I'm supposed to eat all the calories I spend on excercise in order to keep up with the minimum 1300 calories per day, I'm now exercising more than ever...smiley - bigeyes

Walking is good - and walking fast is even better!smiley - ok

Sweets? Naaah... give me salty any day - I regularly fall for a bag of salted peanuts *would stuff her face full right now due to PMT - if she had had any peanuts at home, that is* Darn!

Even without the exercising, I've still been losing about a pound a week on Weight Watchers (14 pounds so far). But I was able to eat a lot more when I was exercising more.

Good job Teru! 14 pounds is great! I'm finding it much harder to shed the pounds just by exercising more (and still eating everything I want.) But I've spent nearly 33 years conditioning myself to eat for the joy of eating (and not because I'm hungry), so it may take me a little while to change that habit! But hopefully hanging around you guys will give me the kick in the pants I need!

I still love food and all the sense pleasures around it (and the emotion), so I still eat all the stuff I love. It's the eating sensible portions of it that I had trouble with smiley - smiley

Teru, Ahhh, portion control. This I understand! Well, I'm not very good at it, anyway! My mother is a good cook and there were 5 kids in my family, so if you wanted seconds you had to eat fast! smiley - laugh

Yay Teru! Good job rowing!

Wednesday: 2 1/2 miles speedy walking (I think I over estimated yesterday. I will try counting my step again tomorrow to see if the last bit is 1/2 a mile or a whole one!)

Thursday: 3 miles speedy walking! (I went extra far and really made it 3 whole miles ... the other days this weeke were only 2 1/2 miles)
Friday: 2 miles speedy walking (does it still count as excercise if you are speedy walking to the bakery to buy a treat???) smiley - laugh

I doubt I'll get out of the hosue tomorrow, it's supposed to snow and I want to stay all cozy.
