I love it!
I didn't go gymming last night as I had work retirement party (that was a lot of fun, and meant a lot of drinks) but I did walk to my meeting and back in another building which is 20 mins walk from here so I am doing something most days. I have a meeting in that same building this morning so I think that I will do the same, then hopefully will get to the gym tomorrow and will definitely on Sunday. This week has been messy and hard to get there as I have been socialising a bit but next week is quieter.
What about you girls, have you gymmed this week?

Sinead, walking counts!!! 
I went to the gym on Sunday (kickboxing AND weight lifting class), Mond-cardio and then swimming on Wed and Thurs at the NH hotel with Tommy. Today Tommy and I walked for 4 hours straight in Boston so I think I made up for not going to the gym. At leats my legs and feet think so!

My exercise reports:
Friday: walked to and from meeting in that other building again so 40 mins walk
Saturday: er,...does raising my arm while drinking count 
Sunday: hungover walking- friends were doing a 10k so we walked there and back, we realised later that we probably walked 6 or 7k!
Monday: P's uncle's funeral, no exercise, chinese takeaway for dinner
Tuesday: out of Dublin straight after work, cheeseless pizza and (chocolate) for dinner
Tomorrow I hope to get to the gym at least, and get back on track.
We had friends staying the weekend and then had to go to P's homeplace for his uncle's wake & funeral so I ate tons of bad things and got zero exercise.
Haven't weighed myself due to the badness, and going away this weekend and out for dinner with friends on Thursday..uh oh! Then only one week til we go on holiday for a week... I NEED TO BE GOOD!
(PS Nat I know you found me too)

Hi Steph!
You already have some great answers but I just wanted to chime in and say, yup, when I'm eating like crap I'm usually not gaining weight - which yes makes it hard to stay on track!
Usually, for me, I'm eating like crap because I'm busy, which means I'm just grabbing not-so-good-for-me things and stuffing my face with them. It also usually means that I'm not having proper "meals" very often, so all in all I'm actually probably eating fewer calories then I was when I was eating well.
However, I also know that I'm doing bad things to my health when I'm living off Baked Lays and candy (!!) and that I'm also slowing down that metabolism I work so hard to keep up.
As for your weight, you're probably just dealing with a plateau. The best way to get out of something like this is to, well, first to get back to eating healthy girl! And then, to shock your body somehow. This might actually involve eating lots of (good, healthy) food for a while then tapering back to a maitenance/loss level for you. More likely it will involve going really hard in the gym for a while and then tapering off - particularly cardio. I know you're a bit unmotivated right now but if you can get just a bit motivated (go Steph!! woooooo!!!!!) and you can get yourself out for a run or speed walk or bike ride, just give it your all. You'll feel great (dead, but great) afterwards, you'll remind yourself how good it feels to move your body, and your metabolism will wake up and say hello Plus now that spring's here you'll be wanting to get outside right?
Anyway, easier said than done I know  But I know for me, springtime is always the time when I try to get back on track... well, next week anyway lol
GOOD LUCK! and (((hugs)))
