I feel like I need to be eating more fruit and vegies in there! I am normally pretty good but money is a bit tight to go and get more fruit and vege. I am ALWAYS craving something sweet at the end of the day. I think that I need to give myself 1 treat per day, preferrably before some exercise so I can work it off.

Exercise has been great this week. I went to the gym Monday morning and did some cardio followed by abs and back/shoulder workout. Tuesday I went in and did cardio plus abs and arms workout and then I went to RPM in the evening. Today I have been in and done cardio plus abs and legs workout and I should really be going to BodyPump tonight but I walked into DH's dive bag and nearly broke my toes!

I just had to say I had the most gorgeous sandwich today for lunch. It was on dark rye bread and had roasted capsicum, roasted pumpkin, camberbet cheese, rocket, lettuce and a bit of sweet chilli sauce.. absolutely divine!!! I have never had pumpkin on a sandwich before and it was the best! And healthy ( I gather ) too!

Somehow since Monday I have put on 0.5kg!! I know I shouldn't be weighing in every day so I am trying not to be too down as it may go away again by next Monday. The past few days I have eaten more carbs (wholemeal pasta at dinner - but only with tuna and salsa which I thought would be low fat) so perhaps that's it.

Kazbah - I am taking on your attitude of each day being a new one!
Lea - Last weeks challenges - didn't do so great with exercise - managed 2X walks for at least 15mins but that was it! I did record all my eating. I still feel reasonably motivated but a bit disheartened by the apparent gain..... btw pumpkin seems really weird on a sandwhich but I agree that it's delish!
Mitch & Lucy - I also struggle finding time to exercise - I am working really long hours at the moment and when not at work am supposed to be finishing a thesis which is why I am home from work today Normally work 7:30am-ish to 6pm-ish and never feel like doing anything when I get home. It's going to continue like this for at least another month! I do have access to free gym machines @ work but it's a very male dominated environ and I must admit that I do feel a bit intimidated
Veronica - I hope your toes get better soon mate. Sounds like it was painful!
