Halfway there!

OK - back on track! Lost the same 700g I found last week, so back to 94. I'm okay with that. Will be stricter on my calorie intake this week - dropped to 1400 from 1550 last week, but had a completely SHOCKING week with cravings, jelly snakes and chocolate... not sure if that's a sign to be stricter, or to increase the calories again. Also had more carbs than usual, and it makes me want MORE! I think, as with most things, moderation is not me. I'm better to go without than try to police myself.

Now getting right into my HR monitor, and aiming to burn at least 500 calories/day, or 3000/week, allowing for one rest day. Small issue with my R achilles tendon, but I'm hitting the nurofen and icing it. One of my training buddies did a hamstring this morning, so fingers crossed we don't have any more injuries! Would love to add some swimming to my routine, but I have REALLY curly hair, and have to blowdry it straight every time I wash it.. pain in the you know what to go swimming! Maybe I'll just add it once a week and see how it goes. Would love to add an aqua aerobics class or deep water running, just need to find out where they do it. Might try north sydney olympic pool.

Had my last day at work today, as well as TTOM - so feeling rather emotional and "give me sugar!"-y. I may not resist, but I'll stick within my calorie limit EVERY day this week. Work drinks and dinner this Friday, so have to save up some bonus calories through extra exercise. Also limit alcohol intake, as that's what got me last week.

Good luck for weigh in everyone - the challenge is halfway over!!!!!!!!
