  1. Judging by the tone of your blog you really enjoy the food much more now! :-)
    The workouts look great, I will for sure borrow some of them! Do you also have to weigh yourself all the time and keep track of measurements?

  2. It's really interesting reading your blog - I'm so immersed in ED now that my mind says _ "tuna, from a can!" etc... but reading this just before my lunch is making my mouth water.

    You asked about me - I'm on a 6 week personal challenge, working with one of Dax's coaches, Shai. Today is Day 4 so it is early but I have a target in terms of inches, and a dress in my wardrobe. My eldest daughter has just pointed out that we go to Paris for the week-end in week 5 and I would love to have reached my target by then but I am not going to rush this.

    I'm blogging on Dax's ning pretty regularly and will check in to the 30 in 30 group from time to time.

  3. I'm copying you and had almost the same breakfast and will have a very similar lunch. I enjoy tuna on a salad with a little bit of apple cider vinegar and some Santa Fe beans.(Pinto Beans, Small Red Beans, Yellow Kernel Corn & Diced Onion in a Southwestern Sauce). Yum!

    Sounds like all is going well - keep it up!
