Yoga: 60 Minutes, learned a new bine (can't get into it just yet) and a new pose....I have NO idea what it's called but here's kinda what it is:

   Stand on left foot. Reach behind your body and grab your left foot. Pull left foot towards butt, giving yourself a quad stretch. Next, push your foot into your hand and lift the left leg up behind your body.   Lean forward so your body makes a T. Keep lifting that back leg up, toes should be over your head. Right arm goes out in front, superman style. It's a balance and I can do it.....amazed myself!!! Great quad stretch! If you decide to try this, it's best to start near a wall and wean yourself back as needed.

Been a couch potato this weekend... watching recorded TV so that we can delete a load of stuff to make room for what I'll miss when in New Zealand... but have been doing yoga stretches and stuff whilst watching so not a complete vegetable!

I'm not holding out any hopes for losing weight over the next 3 weeks... not only will I not have my usual scales to weigh in on, but I shall be eating when I can, when it's available and if it's cheap or free! Hopefully though, we'll get a fair bit of walking in.

4 mile walk this morning, an hours body balance and an hours body step....both new releases too. The balance is nice but the step is a killer! Went to the park with the kids this afternoon to work off the chocolate!

OK, without Kat and Liz I can see this thread is a lot less active, but I still need it.

Weather is beautiful, I'm getting outside more, and still yank dandelions every day.

Yesterday: Hiking in the woods, about 8 trips up and down to the fourth floor via the stairs.

Today: More running up and down the stairs (my room is on the 4th floor) and some yummy yoga at Kripalu. I highly recommend this place to anyone!!!

Michelle who is happily enjoying her yoga fog.

The thread may be less active, but I'm not.. lots of walking but as far as eating goes, it's been chocolate and buns all the way!

15 mins of yoga on the back steps this morning, to the accompaniment of parakeets, tui and sparrows... bliss!

Thanks to a sleepless night I was up and made it to the Y and did my full nautilus circuit.

I found some granola sweetened apparently with chicory; no sweeteners listed. It's still pretty carby but at least it's worthwile fiber.

A cusotmer brought these obscenely good chocolate thingys to us yesterday and I'm afraid I was bad. Chocolate does that.

I've lost two pounds but don't recommend the method...a week of coughing and lying about with bronchitis or pneumonia...slowly getting better.:-)

Kat, take care and don't rush about getting worse. Take it easy with the bronchitis or it really will become pneumonia.

Had another wander around the site today... met a goat and some cows. Not a lot of walking planned today, and it's raining out so no yoga to the accompaniment of the birds. Whatever 94.5kg is in proper money, that's what I am. I blame the barbie on Saturday!

Done lots of walking over the weekend up and down cliffs at Scarborough although I well and truly fell off the low fat wagon but I've hopped back on. Tomorrow I'll be back in my routine of exercise classes and walking.

First weigh in this week since 9th March... 2lb off! I was flabbergasted, as I felt I had gained.

HOWEVER it was a warm day and I was wearing lightweight clothes, and I had not eaten since lunchtime....

4 mile walk today. 45 mins spinning class followed by an hours body balance, then an hours step aerobics. 3 classes back to back is a bit of a killer but I enjoyed every minute of it.

We took the kids to the park this afternoon so more running about!

I've got my goal insight!

Went to get weighed this evening... no-one there, so came back again. Just as well, by my reckoning I've had 4 breakfasts and 3 dinners in just over 24 hours.... and of course, none of it was healthy stuff!

If it's Wednesday, this must be Dubai!

Still 190 at the Y this morning. I'm stuck on a plateau. I just need to keep on track and remember it will start coming off again eventually.

I HAVE had potatoes twice this week; starch does not help.
