Thankfully my daughter's sickness remained mainly with her. I didn't feel so good Thursday morning and thought I was going to throw up but it didn't develop into anything and we all seem fully recovered today

The Walking Plan nearly floored me earlier in the week but by Thursday's walk I wasn't finding it too bad. I have to add another 5 minutes to the brisk walking part for Week Three and that will be tough but if this week is anything to go by it should be easier by Thursday. I was thinking about repeating Week Two but looking at the plan I see that Weeks Five and Six remain the same as Week Four so I'll grit my teeth for the next two weeks and hopefully settle into some kind of rhythm in Weeks Four to Six. At the weekend I don't want to NOT exercise so I'll do a longer walk at a slower pace rather than resting completely.

I have done 150 sit-ups with the ab roller every day this week. I feel I could do more now so I will increase on Monday.

Nothing different to report on food. Eating smaller portions, not eaten anything I shouldn't, it's going really well. No chocolate/candy/alcohol for nearly two weeks!

I have been drinking nettle tea, it's said to reduce cravings and be generally good for you. I make up a pan of it in the morning with two nettle tea bags and two fruit tea bags and drink it throughout the day, warm or cold. If you haven't tried nettle tea, I would recommend it, I really think it helps fight cravings

How are the rest of you doing? What are you snacking on? Anyone found any 'wonder foods' we should all know about?
