Well I have been MIA but for a good reason..I have been making a concerted effort to carve out regular exercise time, at least 45 min a day 6 - 7 days a week, some of your comments about exercise reducing the grumpiness factor really resonated and I thought I would give it a go! So its been early in the morning or late in the day during the week and during the daytime on weekends when DH home...a cut to the computer time all round (which is pretty scary because I reckon I would usually spend those hours on the computer doing god knows what!!) I definitely feel much better within myself and am starting to loose cms although nothing much on the scale yet! Which probably has a bit to do with eating choices more than anything else..case in point sticky date pudding last night for dessert!!!!! DH has def noticed the difference each time I get a bit snarky he says do you need to go the gym and work that off hehe!
I have been lurking around reading your posts..
MG - amazing job on the hike and your ongoing attempts to manage your injuries and emotional eating issues. Very very inspirational! You will get there girlfriend!
Leesa - *smirk* re your pleasure palace. What kind of protein shakes do you have as a snack?
Heather - I love the sound of Zumba (heck in the early days of breastfeeding DD overnight I found myself nearly buying the DVDs whilst watching the infomercial over and over again!!). Did you burn many calories in the classes? Are you thinking of Lambada?
C-Q - thanks for the tips re the new Pump class (pages ago) I am still settling into picking the right weights for the right muscle group. My instructor is great with instruction about appropriate load but I am not very quick at changing weights between songs! I have found the shoulder track really disjointed with the push ups, weight changeovers throughout the song- anyone else find this?
Well the gym doesnt open til 900 today so until then I best get the washing and dishes in order. Might try to get to 1030 RPM class although I imagine it will be packed! Sorry for anyone I have missed. Happy holiday to all!
