Fitness chat and tips #3

Hello ladies

Well thought i better get back in here and get my b*tt into gear!

The past couple of days I have been struggling with motivation, I just cant seem to exercise I want to but cant (feeling really lethargic but dont know why and its frigging frustrating the hell out of me!!), last week I was on a roll waking early to get on x-trainer, this week nada! My WII active should arrive this week though so Im looking forward to receiving that in the post, hoping once I get it I might find some spirit again :shakehead:.

My eating habits have been good though, Im so much more mindful of what Im putting in my mouth.

This week I have started a food and exercise diary so once again testing out my visual aid theory.

And ice-cream intake still good :D

Hope you are all going well on journeys and doing a heap better than I am.

Hello all... I just got myself measured and weighed at the gym :o I'm apparently obese according to my body mass ratio.... so thats a wake up, I only thought I was overweight. My goals are to get more fit, move from obese to normal body mass and stress relief.

:welcome: "]Christy! I know how it feels realising the BMI measurements aren't what you expected. It is a big shock and (in my case) bit of an upset. Turn that into motivation hun - you can do this :dance:.

Tan -sometimes the best way to 'get the monkey off your back' is to bite the bullet and go for a good training session, whether it be a brisk walk, job, fitness class, weights session!

Maz - been kicked out of the gym again yet :p?

Hey Eluned, MG, Freya, Abb, ML83, MummyNaomi, onemore and Mayaness!.

Gah - evening sickness is debilitating me! The only time during my working day when I can exercise I cannot move without barfing! Ewww, sorry TMI! Bring on the weekend when I can do something in the morning!!

chriiiiiiisty do you think we can kickstart this thread again with a new one?? (its 300 posts right?... :lol:) think with the posts lost a fresh thread could be good to get everyone back in...

xo

I was lost with the 2 week disapperance. I have joined a PT mums group, the first 2 weeks were ok, but I think the PT was trying to kill me last week, boy Wednesday my legs were killing me from the squats and the boxing. I am feeling fitter, hopefully I will be able to add some more walking now that the Canberra weather is getting nicer.

Well, I'm back to annoy you all! :rofl: There is NO escaping me now! I have an evil evil plan! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

But first, I've had a week off for various reasons. Mostly my motivation went out the window. And I was sore after my fall in the gym. I had another one this week doing the same stupid exercise! I still have a bee in my bonnet over various issues so please bare with me as I process through them over the comming weeks.

Welcome to those who are new here!

Christy, I'm so glad that you joined a gym. Enjoy it! I hear you on the BMI thing. I actually don't agree with the whole BMI thing. For a whole heap of reasons. But you get yourself to a point where you are happy.

Leesa, I hope the evening sickness resolves soon honey. It sucks! Big time! How are you going with your own goals? To keep exercising?

Tan - keep at it hon. When you're tired and can't be bothered - remind yourself how great you will feel afterwards! As bizarre as it sounds, you will feel more energized after a workout!

Mayness, Zumba seems to be popular. But is it just a craze? I don't know. I think it needs a little more time before we can make that call! Itis being introduced at my gym but I'm not feeling the desire to go yet!

Sooooooo I've got my motivation back. I have a goal! I feel fantastic! It's not just my standard weight loss and fitness garb that I've been prattling on about for the last 18 months - it is a career choice! I've decided to return to study. I'm in the process of researching my options still - which venue will be best for me and so forth. But it also means that I REALLY need to get myself in appropriate condition! I am very very excited!!! And it means that you Melb girls had better beware!!! I WILL be calling for volunteers!!! But that is all I can say right now! I am still convincing DH about the cost. It is a little expensive... but still half the cost of furthering my nursing education with a post grad qual!

:hello: I've been a little absent - sorry :(

My legs are really sore today from a very vigorous yoga last night.. as are my arms, but I can hardly feel them for the ache in my thighs! :rofl:

I really want to start my walking again in the mornings, and I think I might have figured out a way (thanks to Leesa!).. so stay tuned for that update ;)

:hello: to everyone. I'm overwhelmed by how many we have now, so I won't do names... :redface:

MG, woohoo! So the further study is in relation to the fitness industry??! :) How exciting!!

I've had a nasty cold (flu?) this past week. The kids have been sick too and all I've wanted to do is sit on the couch. So no exercise for me this week and I have eaten terribly and we've gotten takeaway a couple of times because I've been out of routine and haven't felt like cooking. Getting myself back on track over the next few days because my 12 week body transformation challenge kicks off on Monday. I have to weigh in and do my measurements tomorrow. I've got my meal plans and shopping list and my exercise plan for the first week. It all seems very exciting and I can't wait to start.

One thing, I'm trying to work out though is milestones. I'm supposed to have 2 mini milestones - 1 at the end of 4 weeks, 1 at 8 weeks and then a major milestone at the end of the 12 weeks. My first mini milestone I've set is to run 3km without stopping. But I'm not sure what to set for 8 weeks and the hardest one to think of is the major milestone. I was going to say run 5km as my second mini milestone (8 weeks), but that is my 3 month goal. Am I aiming too low? Should I be able to run 5km at 8 weeks? I have been toying with the idea of doing a triathlon as my major milestone but I'm **** scared! I'm not really a swimmer. Could I learn to swim enough in 12 weeks to get me through a triathlon?

5km for 8 weeks sounds great Eluned & I agree that you need something more for 12 weeks. Are there any tri's coming up with shorter swims around 200m? I bet there is a Perth triathlon club/ group that would have a list....

PS, I'm keen for that run!

Maz - been kicked out of the gym again yet :p?

:redface: well actually I did tonight....I havent been in over a week due to being sick and J man being interstate. I had the gym for myself :dance:

MG - how exciting for you hun. You sound so wonderfully refreshed and positive. I cant wait to hear what your studying.

:hello: everyone

Im back into the swing of things again...J man being away for almost a week totally killed me and I really had to get out tonight and have some space. I was shocked that I wasnt falbbergastered and out of breath doing my normal routine seeing I had the time off.

Hope everyone if going great guns...bring on the warmer weather for more outside time

Winter, ive been having a look on the tri events website and there is the pink triathlon on 7 nov which ties in perfectly for my 8 week milestone, but if I do a tri for that, what on earth will I do for my major 12 week finale milestone? There are three events in the pink tri:

300m swim/9km ride/3km run
200m swim/6km ride/2km run
100m swim/3km ride/1km run

The swimming leg concerns me as I'm not very good but am considering getting swimming lessons. I'm thinking the 200/6/2 could be achievable in 8 weeks, yeah?

ETA:yes, I'm keen for a run too :) I'm just rather nervous because what if I run for like 100 meters and then fall over or somethin or run so slow that you're practically walking and thinking sheesh this girl sucks at running! :rofl:

well weighed in thismorning.... lost 1/2 kg this week woo hoo :)

Maz yea i hadnt been in there for ages either but popped in the other day to see how they were going... was amazed and excited for them, babies everywhere :) its such a stressful road to head down.

Thinking of starting swimming, its one thing I can do with a couple of heated pools close by so will look into that next week and will just try and keep up the walking and see how i go. My little girl was sick a couple of weeks ago and now I cant even go to the "loo" without her :0

Well done to everyone else your all doing a fantastic job.

Hello lovelies!!

I've been slack this week - I've got low blood pressure and I've been feeling a bit off. However did a mini hike today and I seemed ok. I have backed off exercise this week, and even last week too - for the low bp; but I've also lost about 3 kgs, and I'm actually not wanting to lose weight (for a change lol). Its hard when I can't keep food down to get energy lol! Funny about that?!?!

I think as the kidlets are in bed I might use this time to do a Body Attack (low impact) session whilst I feel good!

Will be back for personals soon!

Eluned, I reckon that is a really achievable goal for 8 weeks. You could still have a 5km non-stop run for your 12 weeks? or push it out and say 8km? or 10km? :) And seriously, don't worry about running slowly. Can I just quote you something out of the fabulous running book that Leesa sent me that has stuck in my mind and keeps me going? "Runners must learn to compete with themselves and not against anyone else. If they race against others, they will soon give up, because they will find so many others who are faster than they are. Running is its own reward." Give me a bell when you're ready for a run & we'll go for a burn. Absolutely no pressure, just company, encouragement & support. Just remember that I only started running this year too, I couldn't run to save myself, but everyone starts somewhere! :)

Massive SNAP there Winter!!! I was only thinking of that line this morning :).

Great minds Leesa!!! :rofl:

Well hello all my fellow active BB's

Welcome back MG & OMG that sounds like a fantastic idea, hope you convince that DH of yours! lol just remind him of how much more fun you will be in the bedroom :p hehehe

Leesa - Awww Im so sorry you have sucky evening sickness, hope it passes soon for you. Also whats your advice on Pump? Im interested in attending, but I am very scared to do it, I have not much upper body strength and moving with a weights bar is very daunting. I spoke to a GF that used to do it ages ago, and she said she started with the smallerst weights possible. Any advice here, Im not sure how to approach the instructors regarding this IYKWIM?!

Christy - Congrats on joining the gym hun, thats the first step and dont worry about the obese label, I think its thrown around too losely these days to try and scare people into being active. If you feel healthy & are doing something about keeping active then thats the main thing IMO!

Eluned - Good luck with your targets you set

Hello to everyone I have missed, just wanted to say keep up the hard work :clap:

AFM - thanks for the motivation ladies I need that from time to time, notice how my eneergy levels decreased when the site was down hahahaha anything to blame really but today Im off to my first combat class in like forever, tomorrow I have step and the next night I have Attack.......SO YEP I have joined the gym again! only for three months but I just want to see how I go with it all. ;)

Hi Everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I've had quite an active day today, compared to most other days for me. I went to a boxing class at the gym in the morning. I made a bit of a fool of myself by slipping but I don't think anyone really cared, they were all in the zone on the punching bags! Even I just got back up and shook it off and got on with it. A little part of me felt like running away and crying, lol, but there was no time for that! I know I didn't keep up with the others very well but I feel proud with what I achieved. As someone quoted earlier, I am only competing with myself. :) Then when I got home I took the dog for a walk. This evening I rode my bike to a friend's place. :)
I hope I don't feel too sore to go again tomorrow for some cardio and weights because I probably won't get another opportunity to go until Fri/Sat. I should try and go on Sat when the footy's on so I can have the place to myself, unless everyone else is thinking the same thing! hehe
Do any of you guys swim? I haven't tried the pool out yet but I figure I probably should because I've already paid for it by getting a Gold pass. I never really got the hang of swimming. I'd need to get myself a decent pair of bathers first.
I figure I'll probably weigh myself in another two weeks and see how things are going.
Good luck to you all. :)

Hi Everyone :hello:

I have been MIA for a while. Was having trouble keeping up with everyone, I was just reading all the posts and doing my thing :lol:

MG: Sounds interesting and very mysterious..count me in for a volunteer!! I have a GF who is a peri-op nurse, great hours and pay!

Leesa: hope your morning, evening all day sickness gets better!

Maz: Hope you make a speedy recovery from your procedure. Go easy Maz when you first get back to it.

Welcome to everyone else, you are all fantastically :dance:

I have been going to my usual Pump, Combat and Attack.
Walked into pump yesterday and the instructor was not aware our gym had not had the new release yet, so we got to have a go before the launch that night. They did a massive 90min launch of Pump, Attack and Combat.
I am a little unsure of the music in Pump. Due to all this copy write stuff and Les Mills, we have to first listen to a little chat from a narrator about the music and then it's all covers of songs. Some just ok. The instructor is already thinking of losing a few of the tracks as they are really quite bad.
My Combat instructor is looking like she will have to give up taking classes earlier than she thought. She is now 16wks pregnant and is under orders to keep her heart rate low, she has not been able to do that, in the last class she mentioned she may not be around for the launch. Thankfully they have a guy trained up who is quite good, so hopefully he will take her spot and we can keep the class running.
Atttack has been really hard the last couple of weeks. He seemed to want to really go hard before the new launch.
We have had another new gym open up near us. It's called Jetts and they are a 24hr access gym. No classes just equipment. It has staff during business hours, and the members have a pass that gives them access out of hours. It 's a great concept, I believe they don't have alot of the heavier weights out after hours which I assume is a safety procedure. They also have not contracts, so you can just pay a casual rate. When my good deal I got with Fenix runs out (I currently only pay $550 per year), I may cross over to them.
The other thing that has my interest is Hot Yoga. They run it at our Town Centre. The room is set at 26deg (not as hot as the bikram yoga). A couple of my GF's do it and love it.
My DH was in Adelaide on the weekend for the City to Bay and ran the 14km and DS1 walked the 3km with his grandparents and cousins.
It's school holidays here, all three kids in gym creche while I work out...fantastic :dance:

Hi everyone

I am really just popping in as I was curious to know what kind of underwear do you wear? is there a particular brand? style that works best?
I need to know cause I have put on 10kgs in the past 6 mnths and stretched all my undies so they fall off when walking fast :o and so need to invest in a few decent pairs to work out in. (then in theory I have no more excuses :rolleyes: )

Hello all

Heather that new gym concept sounds very interesting and it will be interesting to see how successful it is and how people enjoy it. Congrats to your DH & DS thats awesome :clap:

I done my first combat class last night for the first time in like 3 months or something, feeling very positive and active again YAY me! Am all set to attend STEP tonight, havent gone to this class before so am nervous excited to see how Im going to go.

Also my WII active (FX) Should hopefully arrive today so I can change up my morning exercises as the X-Trainer gets a bit ho-hum!

Looking forward to seeing how everyones going and where they are all at.

Have a great day today

Cheers
Tan

Ummm Kelebek, I dont know if this helps or not, but last night for the first time I worked out in Mens boy legs underwears (unsure of the brand type)...They were awesome no cutting into the butt cheeks, which is what usually happens with all the kicks etc, and felt like I had nothing on! lol Ill definetely be going to the shops today to buy more pairs of these.

HTH

I should try and go on Sat when the footy's on so I can have the place to myself, unless everyone else is thinking the same thing! hehe

Oh oh oh! AWESOME idea!!!! I hate the footy and never go to the gym on a Sat because it's too busy!!! But I think I might this week! :rofl: AWESOME idea!

:wave: Hi Heather!!!! Been wondering where you are! How is everything going? I could prob get work in theatre now if I wanted it... but it doesn't interest me. Especially where I work. I'm sick of politics. Thanks for agreeing to be a volunteer without even knowing what you'll be doing! :dance: Love ya!

Leesa - how are you feeling hon? How is the BP?

Christy - how is the gym coming along?

Tan - good on you for getting up and continuing on in boxing! I've had a few falls recently in the gym and totally understand wanting to run out. In fact, I told my trainer if I had another fall I wouldn't be returning!

Kel - I just wear standard Target undies.

Hi to everyone else!

I had PT this morning. I've not gotten much in over the last week. I did do two run/walks last week which resulted in me being a bit ouchy. Probably not a good idea to do two in a row. Especially since I'm still a little sore today. And have just spent the entire hour of PT being lectured about it. But given the alternative... I'd do it (run) all again! My PT session was not so great today. D and I were at each other a bit. I know we go through periods like this but right now, I don't want to return. He's peeved me off too much. So much so, I haven't booked in for another gym creche session next week yet. I normally book in the week prior but didn't this week. And the girls exchanged a look when I said I'd get back to them. Even THEY knew something was up! But D? Nah, he's just D. All I can say right now is AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!! :wall::wall::wall: and "Where is my treadmill? I'm going running!".

And I'm struggling at the moment because I'm finding it difficult to motivate myself to get to the gym itself and home sessions just don't do it for me. And I'm getting more frustrated with myself because if I can motivate others, I should be able to motivate myself! And if I can't motivate myself, what business do I have trying to get into the course I want to do? And if I can't shed at least another 10Kg, what right do I have to do this course I want to do? Or think people will want to employ me? :wall:x1000!!!!!!!!!

Oh MG, I don't have any advice on the motivating yourself because I'm struggling with that too! But you are an awesome motivator of others and I think you are very worthy of pursuing your course :hug:

Kelebek, I just wear plain cotton briefs from Big W.

Heather, there is a Jetts around the corner from me and I looked into it but decided against it because I mainly wanted classes (pilates in particular) so I joined my local Goodlife.

Winter, thank you thank you thank you for your support and encouragement! :D That is an awesome quote and I've written down and look at it all the time.

leesa, tricep dips for the ATW challenge!! Yay! I so need to work these. Evil but good ;) By the way, you've got a cute little bump there :)

As for me, I am still struggling to get over this wretched flu/cold/bug/whatever it is! Start to feel good one day but the next morning wake up feeling worse again. Argh, it is frustrating me as I want to get out and exercise really hard! Yesterday was the start of my 12 week challenge and so I had to do a fitness test to set my benchmark. It included jogging (or walking or crawling!) 1km. So I get up early, warm up by walking to the local primary school oval and then start my 1km jog around the oval. Two and a half laps, 1km, in 4 minutes and 57 seconds :dance: Wheee! I had to make sure I actually did it correctly because it didn't sound right to me. I almost had to start again because some stupid woman had her dogs off the lead and they jumped on me as soon as they saw me run past. I was so angry but she got them off and took them away. Anyway, being out early and running when I can hardly breathe due to being sick probably didn't help but I just wanted to get this fitness test done. Then yesterday afternoon, I had to get out of the house so put the kids in the pram and went for a 45 minute walk. I figured the fresh air and sunshine would kill some of these bugs! Haven't done anything today so might try and get a home workout done later.

ETA: I've bitten the bullet and am going to do a triathlon in 8 weeks time! Eek! What have I got myself into?! Now I just need to learn how to swim. :o

hi ya eveyrone

I have to bow out for a while....I dont really fit in here atm and I feel a bit weird.

I'll be back when im able to be fit again and lose the padding on my bum as kind doctor told me on sunday

thank you for all the support you guys have given me over the last month.

awwww maz - i'm gonna miss your excited gym posts :( but happy healing & i can't wait to see you back in here when you're all healed :hug:

thanks for your reply ladies, I am generally a standard target or bigW brand and wondered if people who work out have a secret ;)

I am currently pyching myself up to getting truly serious about weight loss cause I know until I am in the right frame of mind I won't make the changes necessary. I know I have to start somewhere and I am doing my preparation at the moment. So I will join this area more often then.

MAZ - come on hun, come baaaaaaaaack!!! You are just as much a part of the fitness thread as everyone else. You promised me - remember? Bandwagon ;)?

Thanks Eluned - I think there will be a noticable difference next week. Any suggestions for next weeks bonus exercise? So glad you've got a goal of the triathlon too - so so proud!

MG - how is the TRX band going hun?? don't hit self destruct on me babe ;).

My motivation is waning :(

DC - I've noticed less posting your exercise on the FCS page, tsk, tsk. Have a read of my latest blog. You were one of the people I was referring to as being 'seriously on their way to achieving their goals'......click my link on my sig, go on, dare ya ;).

DC - think of your goals. Think of all you have achieved. Think of how wonderful you feel after a session! Take it one day at a time! Baby steps and goals.

Leesa - not hit it yet. The only thing I'm looking at hitting at the moment is my trainer! And I'm not a violent person! TRX is on ice until my shoulder resolves. You can imagine how pleased I am about that :angry::computer: I do intend to hit the gym after work tomorrow and take it out there... hopefully D is not there!

Eluned - I'm another one who is so please about the triathalon! You go girl!!!!

I have had a crappy emotional week. AF turned up and I spent nearly all of Sunday in bed in tears, Monday my birthday I spent a whole $50 on myself and did a session with J. That was the best part of my day. Tuesday I designated as rest day and then today I spent most of the day on the toilet... which was my ICE session day and I thought it wise to skip it. DH didn't get home from work in the end until 7pm so I would have missed it!

We have all this house moving crap going on and Im hating how much effort i put into my job and feeling like I dont get anywhere.. The gym is the only place I actually WANT to go at the moment but I seem to get put off by the fact I am really struggling with food and everything else going on. That and the scales aren't moving yet... Which makes me :cry: even though I know the positive changes I am making is what is important it is hard to stay motivated when it doesn't move.

I really wish I could run already as I really, really want to run and just STOP thinking!

Sorry for my sob story!

DC I am following your journey and you are doing so well. Is your motivation in general waning or something in particular? How is the gym going? is there a way we can help motivate you? how is your journey with the 12 week challenge going?

:hug: You sound like me. It was how I was in the beginning. I still have days where all I want to do is throw off the ties of reason that D puts on me, and run. I mean really really run. I love to run. When I get really upset or frustrated, it is my only saving grace. But I've learnt that running is not always my friend.

I've also learnt that when we are sick or have AF, we are much more emtional and require much more motivation. It can be so difficult. The best thing I can suggest, besides my previous post, is to wait a week. Keep moving forward. Tomorrow will be a better day. I promise. :hug:

ETA we must have posted at the same time.

First thing first DC I LOVE your new sig.

The main thing that stands out to me in your post is that you want to be going to the gym and exercising and life has thrown a few curveballs at you and you still have that desire. Can you do anything at home? I know I am finding it impossible but just a thought.

Can you take these last few days as a road bump and get back on the bandwagon? Goodluck

DC - :hug: keep on going hun. We all have our bad days. I've had a nasty cold for the last week and a half and most days I've only managed a long slow walk. Just as I'm getting over it my hay fever kicks in and I just feel bleurgh! With the food, are you recording it on calorie king? Have you got your meals and snacks planned out to avoid last minute temptations? Tomorrow is a new day! BTW, Happy Birthday for Monday!!!

leesa, how about wall squats? Stand against wall in a squat position (knees 90 degrees bent) and see how long we can hold for? Or maybe mountain climbers? Or alligator pushups?

Wall squats are eeevil like planks! I can do about 40 secs I think.

Thank you all for your support. I just need to get back in there. I have lost a lot of enjoyment since dropping my classes (Zumba, Jam, Combat) - i loved getting all sweaty and worked up and then pumping it out on the XT for the extra 15 mins. I am under strict trainer instruction to limit the cardio and stick to the program which is hard! Especially when resistance training doesnt give me a rush because there is no sweat.

My food problem is lunches!!! I miss bread. I can plan to eat salad or use lettuce as a wrap but I really just want my salad sandwiches back... but I am only supposed to eat breads/pastas/rice after exercise. Breakfast is good, snacks are good, dinner is easy provided I exercise at night time (other wise it is just lean meat & steamed veges no noodles, rice, pasta etc). I am boosting my protein intake (and snack easiness) with protein shakes (half skim milk, half water, strawberries and banana). And have increased my water intake to 3-4L a day.

Although I have been sneakin in choccy and dessrts... that's my uterus being sneaky i think :lol:

I think I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed with LIFE in general. I am going to the gym tomorrow morning before work (QIAS training thursday nights for the next five weeks... blergh) so hopefully that will be a kickstart.

I am being slightly saved by the fact my mum (who is generally very critical) thinks I look like I am losing weight and I have detected a potential 6cm off my booooobies already :cheer: And I have gone from being able to do 8-10 push ups to 20.

Thank you for reminding me what to think about, i appreciate it :grouphug:

MG I hope your shoulder recovers quickly!

Eluned I am so excited for your triathlon!!! I am a hopeless swimmer that would be my downfall!

Leesa been following your blog. I am still keen to match your 35kg but days like today and knowing that the scales arent moving are what makes me feel defeated!

Love you all, thanks xX

Oh Leesh :( im feeling really deflated atm....not being able to do anything and I just want to go to the gym. Its playing on my emotions really bad and I am reading way to much into things.

leesa - or burpees!!!

DC - have you tried Mountain Bread!?! This stuff is awesome, low carbs. I have been replacing my sandwiches with that as wraps. Gives me that 'bread' hit without all the extra crap. And YAY on the 6cm off and YAY on the pushups!! Progress! Awesome stuff chick :cheer: As for the swimming, I am ****ting myself about it. I'm only doing a "short" triathlon which involves 100metre swim but still I'm shaking in my boots :lol:

maz - hang in there hun, are you allowed to do any exercise at all? Just a slow gentle walk around the block even? Try not to let it get you down, you'll be back training in no time :hug:

It must be the week for it, i have had a very emotional week to DC, i have done my two P/T sessions but nothing else, i went shopping in Geelong monday and ate Maccas on the way home, which to be honest was gross, i have never been a fan, was just convenient whilst driving for the kids.

I was weighed today and am happy to say i have lost 10.2kg so far, which is fantastic i know but i cant see it, and only a few people have commented so i keep second guessing it :(

Maz you have had such a rough road and it would be hard as i know its probably while before you can exercise again after your op. YOu will get there hun..
DC Af is a tough time for me too, i struggle big time, you will get back on track..
MG i feel bad whinging when you have so much to deal with, i hope your shoulder heals fast..
Eluned wow i can never imagine doing a triathlon, i struggle to run at all.
