Quickish post from me....I have been doing ok I guess. My biggest thing is I started the couch to 5k program and for me that is a big effort coz I havent ran in more than 16 years.....I went on my second run today and did well. I have a friend who is doing it with me, we did it together on Friday. She is my motivation. She is very fit and skinny despite having twin 3 year olds and a 2 year old (dont you despise those women!!!) I think I have nearly lost 2kgs. I also started water aerobics on Tuesday nights...again with my fit and skinny friend! So feeling pumped and dh is being really supportive and its great I have him on board
Oh and the other thing I am going to start tomorrow is some lovely and maybe a little confronting for me...colonic irrigation....I have always had "poo" problems, so looking to detox myself and start looking and feeling good

Isabel, you're going great! I'm doing ok with my drinking. It has been pretty warm in Syd too, though not 41! I'm better at drinking at work than I am at home. I get sooo distracted at home!
Krysalyss, wow, you have doen so well!! Thanks for the tips, it sounds like your have approached your weightloss in a similar way I am. I want to implement things that are realistic for me. Eating super healthy 100% of the time and going gang busters with exercise just isn't me and never will be so trying to lose wieght that way for me lasts about a month or two before everything falls apart and I just go back to my old ways and probably put on more weight than before anyway! So my walking and eating ok most of the time is working so far. I will review and modify things once I hit a plateau.
Mel, woohoo! You're going well!! I'm thinking of trying the couch to 5km runs soon, might start monday...maybe, lol! I'm so not a runner though. I never have been! Good.....luck?? With the colonic irrigation, lol! It's something I have always wondered about, though I've never been so curious that I have tried it, lol!
Hope everyone has a great week!

Kel- I have never really been a runner except when they made me at school, I always was amoungs the last! I suppose for me I am doing it coz its free and only takes about 30 minutes to do. I hate the thought of having to pay child care fees on top of a gym memebership especially since we arent loaded with $$. As for the colonic irrigation, I am hoping to have a good clean out because I suffered bad constipation when I was pg with Bec and post birth I got that very painful fissure. We are ttc so I am hoping a clean out will prevent some of these issues as well as make me regular. I read in another thread that a girl had it done and dropped a few kgs from her first session and am kind of thinking that will happen to me too (but definately not the main reason for it).
Kel...I think you should give the running a go....if i can do it, you can too

I went to the gym tonight & had a PT session. I had to sit down after 15 mins as I was about to throw up & couldn't go on any longer... how embarrassing!!!
Sorry no personals..... just too tired

LOL, good on you for going though.
I have started to add 2 x 12 (each) push ups, tricep dips and situps to my walking, as well as walking further. My chest, lower tummy and arms are killing me! I am soooo unfit!!
Eating has been good since yesterday, lol! I was really good yesterday without even trying but it may have been the 40 degree heat which made that easy. Mostly ate just salad and fruit all day. And I drank a tonne of water!
I hope everyone is going well

Good work BreezeI cant believe you went to see a PT, I am sooo scared of PT's at the gym lol. Been keeping away from them. You will be amazed how quickly your fitness will increase, the hardest step is that first one.
Lilias: Good work on the eating. It really is easier in summer. I find i drink so much water and crave fresh fruit and veg over heavy meals. Im a major carbaholic but really dont want to eat carbs at the moment coz of the heat.
Minimatron: Im considering the colonic irrigation. Weirds me out a bit though lol. How are you going with the running program? I am up to week 3 and it has killed me. I ran for 3 minutes straight yesterday and was so proud of myself. I am sooo not a runner either but DH is and so im trying to become a runner so we can do it together. We have a 5km run booked in for 6 weeks time so i have to keep on track! Your right though it is so quick and easy. I do it when ds is in bed and its done and dusted quickly.
Well i weighed in today and unfortunately it was a gain. Had such a great start and now its creeping back on. I just dont get it. Its like my body just wants to be 77 kg and thats it. Not really happy about it today. Trying to remain positive though as the changes i am making are life changes but yeah, still a bit upset.
