Aweigh Hoping-to-Exercise-at-Least-Once-This-Week Monday Week 7

Congrats to Bikini who was last week's biggest loser! The winner of the prizes from last week? Drumroll please...Sue!


Congrats! I will forward your info to the sponsors!


The prize this week? Harper Collins has again graciously donated one copy each of Joy's LIFE Diet: Four Steps to Thin Forever by Joy Bauer and Love in the Time of Colic: The New Parents' Guide to Getting it on Again by Ian Kerner and Heidi Raykeil.

You may remember, LIFE stands for Look Incredible, Feel Extraordinary and the four steps the title refers to are: release, relearn, reshape and reveal. It sounds like an interesting read, and for me, anything is worth a shot. Plus it sounds like the book focuses more on changing your mindset about food and weight loss than just talking about what you're doing wrong. That has to be a good thing.

So don't forget to report your results on Friday for your chance to win these two books!

Realistically, I know it will be difficult to get any exercising in this week, so if I can manage even one workout that would be great. I am going to try to eat less this week to compensate for the lack of exercising. If I can just maintain and not gain during these days/weeks of M's recovery then I will be happy! Sometimes you just have to admit that you can't do the necessary work, right?

One of these weeks coming up I think I will throw in an extra prize for the person who loses the most. I haven't decided if I'll tell you which week it will be or if it will be a surprise...so you'll want to try to work!
