Hello everyone

Mothergoose, so sorry to hear about the cold you are still suffering from, its not much fun, I have been lucky so far not to have one *touch wood*, but CONGRATS on joining the gym!

AFM - Did my official weigh in and measurements today, wasnt as bad as I thought but still not satisfied - Its my first session of combat this afternoon, so very very excited, I didnt do the X-Trainer though which Im not happy with BUT Will be on there tomorrow, as I remember to set my alarm tonight! My biggest tempation which I can never resist is having a bowl of ice-cream EVERY night after dinner lol, Im hoping once I start to exercise every night I wont want to waste all my hard work on those yummy calories! Any tips anyone on helping me beat this evil?!

Also, where does everyone have their X-Trainer, treadmills etc at home? Mine is in our spare room, with no TV or anyhting so I find I get bored very easily and at that time I dont want to be listening to music; I would like it in the lounge but its too big Im thinking of moving it into our bedroom so i can watch morning news while doing the workout!?

MG for joining the gym.

Welcom Tan..I don't have anything at home like that. DH has a weights set and he keeps it in our Toy room.

Eluned..sorry to hear your hip is still not good. An Osteo is good as they do a bit of physio and chiro. Some remedial masseurs are great too.

nellnell..how is your training going?

Hope everyone is staying active

I went to Attack yesterday. It has really been stepped up quite a bit. Quite a few people in the class are really struggling with the increase in intensity!
So here is my new training regime..Monday-Pump, Wednesday-Combat and Sunday-Attack.
I decided to put Pump in as I already have the other two for aerobic and at the moment Tess is feeding at 11am so the Spin wouldn't have fitted in with her on the Monday. I didn't do Pump this morning as I have DS1 home from school with croup (first day back here for us Victorians).
So this week will be Combat on Wedensday and Attack on Sunday. That should keep going for a while I will NEED to do Attack on Sunday and absolutley smash it as I am going to High Tea at the Windsor on Saturday with the Melbourne BB girls

Thats excellent Heather, you go girl High Tea sounds awesome, s*cks being so far away from everyone I miss out on all the fun stuff - I live in North west WA....

Tan, the easiest way for me to avoid temptation is to not have it in the house. If it's not there then I can't eat it. I have a xtrainer at home and it sits in our loungeroom. Usually the TV is on but I tend not to watch it as it doesn't distract me enough, so I read instead, usually a magazine or a book. Do you get to Perth at all? There is a high tea being organised for August.

Heather, I think I will check out an osteo. How are you finding exercising and feeding? Does it affect your supply at all? It's one of the things that's holding me back. I'm a bit scared to push myself into heavier excercise in case it lowers my supply.

AFM, I got out my stretching book and tried to pinpoint which muscle is giving my hips grief at night and I'm pretty sure it's my piriformis and I've found stretching that out feels soooo good.

[Mother Goose]

Eluned, I'm glad the stretching is helping! I'm so amazed you can read and use the xtrainer! I'd fall off!

Heather - awesome workout plan! I will do classess one day!

Tan - my treadmill is in the garage. It used to be in the spare room downstairs but we needed that space for DD's party so it got moved to the garage and has staid there since. I love listening to music whilst I train so am fine. I usually stare off into space anyway!

Well girls, I'm still recovering from my cold. Stupid thing! No training since Fri and I'm feeling it. I'm so sluggish today! Off to the gym tonight - I really don't want to go for a whole heap of reasons including CBF'd... but I will go! Then come home and crash! PT tomorrow morning... Gym Wed, Thurs, and Fri after work. Hopefully I pull up ok at the end of the week with little or no issues!

thanks eluned, i think thats whats going to have to happen. Might get DH to move the X-Trainer into our bedroom tonight when I get home.

Nope dont get to Perth very often, wont be down there until December for holidays, well in Albany for two weeks then in Perth for a week.

Congratulations on finding the problem to your hips. Im so not clever enough to work that stuff out!

It hasn't effected my supply at all. I feed her before I go, make sure I drink and eat plenty to compensate for the high impact and it seems fine. This morning I did Combat and fed her when I got home, she got off to look at the TV and it was squirting her, so I am pretty confident she is still getting plenty after that
Well done on working out which muscle..that is a huge advantage!

Tan: Must be something with Combat instructors at the moment, we had a different one today as the usual one has lost her voice (she participated in the class as one of us still).

Welcome rhyb You are very keen going everyday. My gym has some competition or promo on at the moment called the 30 day challenge, 30 classes in 30 days.

MG: I hate hate hate it when the gym is packed. I find the best times are usually Sunday mornings and as I go during the week during the day, it's usually pretty good then too. Don't get frightened off now Best thing to do when it is packed and you want to use equipment is put your music on and tune out and go your own pace or watch the TV (our gym has one up for the equipment area).
And be careful!! You don't want to over do it and never go back.

Enjoy the rest of your week everyone
