Sorry for the lack of posting... I've been busy! Work has been really really busy which has been fantastic. I am loving it at the moment.
I have continued with my plan. Had a rest day Saturday, but apart from that all exercise complete and accounted for! Rusty even commented on my progress this morning - my rowing is faster, and my running is getting faster too.
I bought some resistance bands yesterday. I was going to get weights - but I needed to spend too much money to get what I wanted, so I thought I would try the bands. I love watching Biggest Loser and always get inspired, so thought I would plan some training in front of the TV. I am yet to work out exactly what I am going to do, but will include pushups, cruches, some of the fitball workout in WH&F this month, plus some exercises with the bands. I'll be back later to post my program.
I also bought some new scales yesterday that measure body fat and muscle mass, so I can monitor things a bit more accurately. I know they are not 100% accurate, but they will monitor progress and that is all I am interested in.
I am still struggling with evening snacking. I get home from work starving, and then after tea I feel like munching on some chocolate or something. So I have worked out that I am not eating enough - especially during the day. My BMR is 1600. I burn at least 400 calories in training every day. Which makes 2000 calories. Take a 20% deficet and that gives me 1600 calories. I have been aiming for 1400 but haven't been getting there. Most days are about 1100. So, eating more this week.
Off to do my new menu and exercise plan...

That doesn't sound like a lot of calories...are you sure you're eating enough, particularly with all your exercise??
Also - and this is a message for Tiny Donna (sorry to use your blog to leave it!)
