Hiya sylvie
Good to know I am not alone. My exercise routine has been trashed, severely curtailed for almost month due to a road trip I'm on for work.. I was on a steady weight loss with what I was doing, over 28 pounds.

Now, i am stuck-> there is a dramatic impact when not exercising, and staying on that "plateau", minimal weight loss , even when eating totally healthy. I am in the car, and on the road while still dark, very early and getting home very late almost every nite.

So, knowing that, I know enough to eat healthy during the day, with a co-worker. We take a quick break away fro the firm we are at, find a veggie place for lunch, then back to the company until past dinner time. Then in the car for an hour and 1/2 ride home. I have been having Cheerio's alot (for breakfast and dinner) and homemade veggie soup I make on the weekend and freeze, then heat up for din din, We get salads or fish at lunch.

I think I just need to bite the bullet and get back to swimming and walking every day either at 5AM or 7PM..in order to get back to the weight loss I was having. I have all the exercise suff right here at home too, so, guess I have to get motivated to do more than go to WW every Sat AM and verify I am not gaining.

Okay sylvie,thanks for the reminder, and as of today, I am getting back on board the Healthy Weigh Loss thread. Spending less time on laying here and more time being "Physical"

Tommi, you rock !!!
and yw for the reminder, and thank you for your update and in turn giving ME some motivation too... You know, i also have everything i need right here at home, not to mention i pay for a monthly gym membership which is now not getting used..

i should be going at least twice a week, and i should be utlizing what i have here at home each day! and i should be pushing myself for walks here and there when time allows.. but, i haven't been either.. Much like you, ive been behaving for the most part foodwise.. so i know that plateau so very well...

i'm setting myself a goal of 20 lbs, starting right now.
Good for you, for keeping yourself on eating healthy.. When you are on the road and when life is busy, it's always SO much easier to go to the junkfoods and quick unhealthy meals or fast food, so i really think it's fab you've been doing so good that way!! YAY you!

Today i'm home sick, with a bit of pain so not sure a workout is a good idea for today but soon as i'm a 100% by tonight or tomorrow, i'm kicking it up a notch and getting my workouts in again..

i need a lil dude sitting on my shoulder hollaring at me to "get at it" with eating right AND exercise, that'd be some awesome motivation LOL... motivating oneself isn't always easy, eh!
