    I had a bad food day as well. Up until dinner time was fine, then we got chinese takeaway

    On the positive side I did a 3.3km walk this morning.

    Here's to a better day tomorrow!

    Hi Control Freak - thanks so much, what a great little thing that Shape Mate is! It's so cool! I just worked out on it that the walk I've been doing along the coast is 3.65 kms!!! I love it, thanks again!

    I had a pretty bad eating day too yesterday, KFC for lunch but on the positive side, did you know a small potato and gravy only has 79 calories in it but only a small serve of spag bog last night for dinner
    No exercise yesterday either as I wasn't well, still not so good today but have to be at work. I'm planning on a healthy eating day today!
    Here's to a new day!

    It sounds like everyone is on the right track! I couldn't ride today as i nearly chopped my finger off yesterday with a knife making pumpkin soup so it's all bandaged up and i can't squeeze my brakes. AF arrived this morning too so not a good day all round really - hopefully it gets better from here...

    Just got back from an hour long walk. Feeling nice and revived, with a renewed sense of purpose. Am now drinking water and eating an apple - go me!

    We just have to remember not to beat ourselves up over little slip ups with food... it's the overall lifestyle that makes the difference!

    Good idea Kim

    Favourite snacks: fruit! Especially grapes and bananas that are quick and easy to eat. Also helps to curb sugar cravings

    Favourite breakfast: Mine is pretty boring - just a couple of vita brits with milk. Or fresh bread with a sugar free fruit spread.

    Favourite lunch: Don't do it very often - but an omelette (can be egg white only to be healthier) with capsicum, onion, mushroom, tomato (whatever you want) added. Yum!

    Well I didn't get around to exercising last night, was too buggered, and now have a tummy bug, so having my first meal of the day - cup of tea and vegemite on toast. It will probably come straight back out.. but you gotta start somewhere...

    Nai - ouch! I think you are excused

    What are your favourite snacks ATM? Umm watermelon after a hot walk - love that stuff! Also sweet chilli rice crackers.. yummooooo....

    What is your favourite brekkie? Weetbix is what I have. I have been having 3 (need to cut it down to 2) but I only have boiling water on there, and a splash of milk - but I do have a teaspoon of sugar (and all together its about 200 calories, which is fine for breakfast)

    What is (are) your favourite lunch(es)? Mountain bread wraps!!! Love them. Even DS requests them now.

    Not doing so great again today! I had a day without the kids and DH and I have spent the day together. Out for lunch and to the movies. I chose a steak with salad for lunch but it came with chips which I ate about half of. Then I had some popcorn too, though not really that much. Some sort of stirfry for dinner I guess! I really need to get myself together!


    What are your favourite snacks ATM? I am trying to have at least two peices of fruit. Fave fruit at the mo is persimmons. Other than that I am having a small handful od almonds, but I have to be careful to make sure I put the packet back into the cupboard or I pick at them and eat waaayyy too many!

    What is your favourite brekkie? I am loving porridge in this cooler weather. Or banana on toast (no butter!).

    What is (are) your favourite lunch(es)? I'm finding lunch tough, I usually eat lunch at work, whatever our cook makes (worked in a childcare centre, but my last day was yesterday!!). I might make some veggie soup to have for lunch for a while. I'm not a fan of sandwiches really, to make a healthy and yummy one takes sooo much effort! I like left overs so I will have to make extra dinner so I can have something yum!
