Not a good day food wise. TMI but I didn't have an appetite in the morning because I have a chest cold and I'm sure I've been swallowing phlegm because of all the coughing and hacking I'm doing. So I skipped breakfast (just had a coffee), but this made me absolutely famished by lunchtime, and I made poor decisions. Lesson learned: force myself to have at least a little bit for breakfast, even if I don't want anything. Breakfast = Coffee (1 milk 1 sugar) Lunch = Fish & chips and a pop Supper = No supper.

Sorry my reports are late. I've been sick Day 4 Report 1) Dance ---- 2) Core/strength ------ 3) Foodlog - 5 points Sooooo, someone brought cupcakes to the office. I had one... then had another one.

Seriously, I have to figure out a way to avoid stuff that people bring in. Breakfast = cranberry muesli toast, tea Lunch = Black bean and veggie pita wrap 2pm sugar craving = 2 cupcakes :( Supper = Gnocchi, salad 4) Back stretches - like a champ. 2 points Total Points: 37 Things to work on: Avoiding sugary snacks in the office. I am very good about not buying stuff myself. I never go out and buy lattes or cookies or junk food for myself... partly because I know that if it's there, I WILL eat it. Therefore I just don't keep it around me. However, that might work at home but not for the office when other people are bringing in junk to share. Suggestions? My office is super tiny so I can't avoid the place where the treats are.

good start!!!

Thanks Rookie! If I'm able to figure out how, I may post some dance videos. I think it would be great to document my progress that way. We'll see!

Your 10 minute movements make me happy... they give me so many ideas for my playlist!
