Old scales = 149.0lb =>ATW challenge weight = -0.5lb
New scales = 150.0lb

Recorded weight = 95%x149.0 + 5%x150.0 = 149.1 (rounded to nearest 0.1) =>official weight = -0.4lb

Yesterday was a high cal day (1,400), although I was quite snacky in the afternoon, so did find it quite hard-going. I was working from home and I'm finding it quite difficult to get back into things after being so focused on my exams for the last couple of weeks - hence, food became the obvious distraction! However, I got through it without going off course - the only amendment I made to my food plan was to switch my planned evening mug of cocoa for a slice of buttered toast, which hit the snack spot at the end of the afternoon.

I did a whole load of exercise yesterday. At lunchtime I did the full 50 minute dance routine from Rosemary Conley's Slim & Salsacise DVD - that certainly got the heart pumping! In the evening I did the main workout from Darcey Bussell's Pilates for Life DVD. I would definitely say this pilates DVD is a significant improvement on the horrendously boring Lynne Robinson ones I've got, and it's set to the most wonderful classical music, which makes a lovely change. The only downside is the duration - over 75 minutes for the full workout, including warm up and cool down! However, there is a short workout as well, which takes around 30 minutes in total, and you could break the main program up into a couple of chunks rather than doing it all at once, so overall I'd give this DVD the thumbs up!! :)

I'm glad you made it through your "snacky" day. I had one of those yesterday, too :) Way to go for all that exercise! I'm glad you found a pilates dvd you enjoy. It's hard to feel motivated when the instructor or music or routine bores you to tears (or heaven forbid, all of the above!). Keep up the wonderful effort and enjoy your day!

Great job with all that exercise! I would like to try pilates too- I have heard how much it does to lengthen and tone. Have a great day!

If I was you, I'd go with the scale that has the lower number ;)

Fantastic work with the exercise!! Glad to hear that your new Pilates DVD is a major improvement on your other one's. Having the option to do a shorter workout sounds good too... some of them are so long aren't they and it's difficult to find the time! I've got the same problem with my Yogalates Energizer being 70 mins for the warm up, upper body and lower body section. You can break that one down into two 30 mins sessions... so not quite so bad. Good to hear that you survived the snacking... no doubt that was all those extra calories burned. Great work! ;o)
