Third day in under points ... this time I went out with Linda for lunch ... I ordered a burger with lots of salad ... and it came with fries. I could have had them. I had 4 1/2 points "banked" but I decided not to. It felt so damn good to walk away with them all sitting on the plate ( Read more... )

I can't believe Jan 9th was the last time I wrote in here. I did exercise during February, but broke my arm spectacularly in March ... and am just getting some movement back in it now after 2 hospital stays and a plate/screws being put in it. Anyway ... back on track.

Breakfast:
1 mandarine (0.5 point)
2 tbsp sultanas (1 pt)
1 slice wholegrain ( Read more... )

55 minutes in the pool. Ouch!

No exercise yesterday again, due to this stupid shoulder. I'm thinking I will have to go get a massage or something and see if that helps. If it doesn't, then I will have to head to the doc.

No exercise today because my shoulder is in pain.
I know I am going to have to go see about it ... 18+ months of pain should not result from a simple fall.
But I'm avoiding the doctor!

Another 60 minutes in the pool ... go me (oh my aching thighs/arms).

Total for January: 195 minutes

Another 60 minutes in the pool on Tuesday ... and I did it even though there were other people (apart from my family/Scott) there. One NSV there!

Total for January: 120 minutes.

And then I did another 15 minutes strength exercise today (crunches, lateral raises with the dumbells etc) ... another 15 minutes .... 135 altogether.

Yesterday I did 60 minutes in the pool (and it was a bit ouchy due to a few days off!).

So my total for January is 60 minutes.
Goal is 720 minutes (may be revised).
