Fitness chat and tips #3

[Mother Goose]

agreed Leesa! I do agree that keeping moving is the best rememedy for stiffness!

Maz - so very excited for you tomorrow! Have a great session!!!!! Looking forward to hearing all about it tomorrow!

I'm sorry for the lack of personals at the minute. My Mum is in one ear chatting away and dad in the other!!! Love them dearly but SSSSSHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Just for 5 minutes please! can't you see I'm doing something important?!

[maz]

Man you guys!!!! I am in awe of how much you all do!!

Heather - hearing you talk about pump and soreness is something that scares the living poopya out of me..honestly I dont know if I am up to that at all..little steps for me first and I'll have you doing major woo ha's in my head

Leesa - yes you sure can. I plan to go every morning before everyone is awake for an hour, in Summer Im hoping to up the anty and ride my bike down to the gym aswell (hoping). I have alot of weight to lose and alot of me to find KWIM

MG - thank you so much for your support (and everyone's) Ive taken some pics that ive placed in a secret folder to share at a later date...with my weight and measurements. Scared me to be honest. I didnt recognise the fat lady staring back at me ..I dont know who the person is anymore.

So what do I need to wear/take tomorrow night. Im a gym virgin so be gentle please. Ive bought new sneakers (im so excited about them) um water bottle?do I take trackies to wear or wear them there?.

. I didnt recognise the fat lady staring back at me ..I dont know who the person is anymore.

Maz i know how you feel, i have done the same and i just looked at my pics before to give me the will power not to eat some banana cake dp made.

I feel so sad sometimes when i think about how i let myself get this way

I am getting there though, my body is getting use to exercising but my mind still needs to smarten up as i am still fighting with the fat lady within about food IYKWIM..

Goodluck tomorrow. I wear 3/4 track pants and tee shirt, take small towel and water bottle.

It's kind of eerie posting with all these missing posts LOL - it feels like something is ..... er ...... missing

Anyhoo - lost 1.1 kg last week after my health / fitness kick off! Yay - of course gastro friday night helped cement the weight loss but I'll take it!

I don't know what else to write - cos I cant remember what everyone else is up to

Not going through 18 pages to find what I'm about to ask, but I've just joined the thread!
Zumba? I've just signed up for the Fernwood 8 sessions, haven't had one yet, but that's just a matter of logistics
Also, wanting to be able to take a walk in the evenings, but between kids being sick and DP being away for work during the week 3 weeks in a row it just hasn't happened. Neither has riding my horse. Soon!!

[onemore]

Hi everyone,
just been reading some of the 18 pages here over the last couple of days and decided it was time to sign up
I cant go to a gym as we are in the "sticks" but do a community zumba (nearly) every 2nd Wednesday and have started to go for a walk but with the weather the way it is here in Tassie sometimes it hard. I know excuses excuses so i need you ladies to keep me in line !! thinking if I post on here each day I will feel acountable to get my but into gear and get a bit healthier....
Hey Maz... how have you been ? long time since we were in Tubal Reversal thread but has gone so quick... good to catch up again.
Well thanks for reading and helping me on this "lifestyle change"

[MusicLover83]

Hi folks. Well I managed to get to the gym three times this week, yay! Plus doing something on non-gym days like riding my bike or walking the dog. I did a class today and it was exhausting!! My face was red like Elmo! I'm glad I did it though. I feel pretty miserable at the gym like I can't wait for it to be over but afterwards I feel really good and proud of myself. I've been improving my diet, it could be better though.

How often do you guys weigh? I felt really good today after the class and was thinking of weighing myself but I'm quite scared to in case I've put on or even lost some but not very much, I'd be crushed. My dog is on a diet too and she's been getting heaps more exercise in but she put on 0.8kg. Hope the same thing doesn't happen to me! At least she has no concept of this and is happy all the time regardless. lol :P

Thanks i will need it.. Stress makes me eat and i have had enough of the wedding stuff atm, i am about to head to the beach for a walk to clear my head, having a bad day

[Smoke Jaguar]

I don't weigh myself ever - golden rul I've been living by for a long time, only broken by when I'm allowed to give blood and even then, I look, write it on the form quickly then never mention it again, I just point it out to the nurse and tell her I don't want to know LOL

[Tan]

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 .

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

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

[christy]

Hello all... I just got myself measured and weighed at the gym 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.

[ladybird11]

"]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 .

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 ?

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!!

[The[cookie]Doctor]

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