How are you doing with your eating? I only ask that because an influx of chocolate has arrived in our home with the Easter weekend as well as extra snacks and heavy meals. It seems like even if you are on track our holidays are spaced out perfectly to sabotage us every couple of months.
Well, it's time to move on. If you gave in to the chocolate and candies or the feasts you really have to just put it behind you and realize that today is a new day and this is a new week and whatever you do now is what you can control. Time to buckle down and make these last 2 weeks of our first 6 week cycle really count.
I'd like you to do 2 things this week. First, change one of your exercise days to something completely different. If you run then try something slower or using different muscles (eg yoga or zumba) if you're walking then try a pilates DVD or a dancing video game. Maybe you could try tennis or a game of soccer with your kids or pull out your bike, or do some weights. Whatever it is it's time to try something new just once this week.
Second, I'd like you to find a new food you've never or rarely eaten and figure out how to prepare it and try it this week (eg quinoa, swiss chard, dragon fruit).
Don't forget to add 10% more time to your activity this week as well as continuing to watch your calories. Don't stop recording your food and exercise in your journal. Until next week.

I'm starting to notice some patterns. I lose weight towards the end of the week because over the preceding weekend, I have inevitably gone over in the calorie department. So the beginning of the week is spent getting back into routine. This weekend I hope to just push through and stick to the limits I have set for myself. I started doing the sweat version of Just Dance 3 instead of the regular dance version. I have also started walking/jogging on my treadmill. Maybe today I'll take my jogging outside because it is quite nice here. My body is getting used to the exercise I was doing so I do understand why you said to switch it up. Tough to do but I'm getting there. I've lost 11.5 pounds to date.
