I can usually get 3 or 4 days out of the salad, a bit more if I don't put anything that can go soft in it.
Well I attempted to go for a jog along the waterfront here in Cairns this morning, I did 10-15 mins before I admitted defeat and went back to my hotel, stupid idea at 9am considering it had rained already once that i knew of this morning, so I settled for going to the gym instead. Had a protein packed breakfast and lots of fresh fruit.
Sopdet - How was the gym? Are you travelling atm? Hence the hotel?
Hmmmm, where is everybody? :) I thought it was weigh day for just about all of you........... lol. I'm kicking it on my cross-trainer, I'm so happy with myself and I really feel as though I have my mojo back. I have been really working hard at planning really tasty meals & I'm watching my snacks & I just feel as though I'm going to make a break in the scales this week. Well I'm hoping anyway. I'm going to VERY upset if I don't show a loss.
I'm hoping everybody is having a fab Monday!
No weigh in for me until mid-week.
I had a pretty lazy weekend. I ate 2 muffins on Saturday and spent an afternoon dealing with the self-loathing. On Sunday I took the dog for a walk down to the lake so I got some exercise in a green zone.
Did arms today at the gym and 20mins on the bike and 15 mins on the rower. I think I might need to do more weights tonight because I'm not really feeling it.
I might try and step up the cardio a bit. Maybe do some intervals....
Classes at the gym? Does anyone do them? They have a pump class in the middle of the day and a body balance. The body balance looks pretty low impact so it won't help much with toning and weight loss but I could do with a bit of work on my flexibility so I might try it.
Forgot to weigh in this morn, will do it tomorrow but took the new attachment for the pram for a spin today so no breaking records but did a 4.3km walk with HotI
Onyx - I'm a mid-week weigher as well, helps me to redeem myself if I have a particularly 'bad' weekend. lol. I took a Body Balance class only once but I didn't really get into it. I really love pump classes though.
ZF _ Glad you got out for a walk today darl. How's Plaster Man?
Very exciting for me, I found some Ryvita type crackers at the supermarket, so I had ham, tomato & cucumber crackers for lunch today. With some light cream cheese spread. So delicious!
No change for me this week, which is kind of a yay because of the 3kg the scales told me I'd gained last week (yeah right). So my no change today actually means that I didn't gain the 3kg like it said. Plus we were very naughty over the weekend - we had Valentine's Day on Saturday night and indulged. Boy it was good.
Sorry ladies, i wieghed in around 5am and wasn't happy with it again so i decided i wouldn't post! I am sooo bad!
Am seriously considering the Michelle Bridges 12 Week BT Challenge, i don't seem to be making any progress anymore, despite the good exercise i keep doing! When i was in Rebel sport today the sales assistant was telling me how she is doing her 3rd round and that she went to an awesome boot camp with the commando that the Sydney ladies had organised, sounded like so much fun!
On the plus side, i had an awesome session with a trainer on Saturday! I had organised some sessions to do some boxing with DF as his valentine's day present (i thought it would be something nice we could do together...beat the cr@p out of each other!LOL) but he 'has a sore finger' so decided not to do it with me. Grrr to him, so my mum came along and another friend and we had such a fun time! My forearms are aching though and i can't really make a fist or pick anything up anymore! Ouch! Was very happy that i was the fittest one of the group despite being the biggest, and i like to think the trainer was a bit impressed by me ;)
hi guys, sorry i am so slack with personals.
i am just slack
i havn't weighed myself since i got back from hols as i know it'll be bad
but trying to be good and get back on track. keep moving forward you know
good luck to all
Hi ladies, how is everyone doing??
I did a bodypump class today. I'm feeling it tonight which is good. I think I'll try and do one or two each week. I just need to try and get a bit less unco on the moves and get the weights right. Sometimes I had too much on and sometimes not enough.
I'm way to scared to try a body pump class! How hard was it? I don't know why I'm being such a wuss about it!
Nice work though!
I am seriously thinking about the 12 week body transformation, how would I convince df? I'm sure he will be all down on me about it like he is with everything else
Hey everyone!
Welcome Onyx!
ZF - How's plaster man doing? :P
Appletree - I really hope you get the house you want!! :crossfingers: Also, I love the "beat the cr@p out of each other - Valentine's Day" idea! Sounds awesome! Booo to DF for not doing it. I would've done it with you! ;)
AFM, I'm finally back on track with my PLC (permanent lifestyle change -because it's NOTa diet!). I still do my hour walk every morning, but it is now followed by 20min of yoga. I also added my healthy snacks back into my routine (an apple and some nuts for a.m. snack and yoghurt for my p.m. snack). Our meals are now again low fat *sigh* and I now do between 30min-1hr of Zumba every night (5 days a week). DP is back on the bandwagon, too. Food-wise anyway. I still can't get him to exercise. He wants to go for walks with me, but I'm a bit reluctant. I love my walks, it's MY time where I can switch off and just listen to my music. I do enjoy walking with DP, too, but we always talk/discuss things, so I can never switch off. So when I do walk with him I feel "me-time"-deprived! :rofl: Does anyone else feel like that?
Appletree, I'm not usually a class person but I thought I'd give it a whirl and I'm planning on going back. I'm hoping to do 2 classes a week. It's weights based so you can start small - just with tiny weights and then work up. I'm pretty unco so some of the moves will take me a bit of practice but I'm hoping that in a few weeks I'll have them down pat. I think it will take me a while to sort the weights too - some of the time I had too little and other times too much. I can feel it everywhere except my abs today. That's more because of me - I have huge issues with working my abs. I always find my lumbar region hurts or my neck feels weird long before my abs start hurting so I stop.
I did an abs session today but I'm really not feeling it. I might ask DH to train me for abs once a week because he's the only one who has ever managed to hit the spot. The problem with getting DH to train me is that I end up wanting to punch him so then he gets out the gloves and taunts me....
I ran for about 10 minutes today - it's been a while since I did that :o I think need a new sports bar, my boobs aren't the same size as they were the last time I needed one.
I weighed myself today. I have lost *drum roll please* 0.1 kgs :rofl:
Raupe, I like going for walks alone too. I usually take the dog but she doesn't count because she can't talk back.
Hi ladies!!!
My hand delema is slowly sorting itself out- i weighed myself on the scalkes during the week, and i have managed to loose .5kg... but i kinda feel like i have been cheating- because it is more from not eating much and stressing about my poor hands than any actual excercise!!! But I am going to start getting back into gear starting tomorrow!! (famous last words?? lol) My poor wii is going to lecture me coz i havent been on there in so long!! lol!!
Welsome to all the new comers!! Onxy.. there are a few canberran's in this thread, we are going to start a monday morning walk in Macgreggor, your more than welcome to join us!!! :-)
I lost weight, I went to a wedding on the weekend, ate way too much food and bad food too (airline lunches on a 3 hr flight are filling) and I still lost weight.
Keep up the great work everyone, i WILL be back on the wagon next week.. today had a catch up with PRMG and Emma09 and was a little naughty :shhh:
Well ladies, I'm absolutely gutted. Actually gutted doesn't even cut it - I'm devastated beyond words. I busted my ar$e this week, ate sooooooo sensibly & drank so much water & overall just behaved myself all around & what do I get? I loss of ONLY .3kg. I'm so upset. I know a loss is a loss, but I was expecting at LEAST .5 at the very bare minimum. Boo hoo to me.
ONYX _ My abs are always sore after pump classes too.
SOPDET _ How did you do it girl? I"m jealous! Airline meals plus wedding food - I'm green with envy! lol
STARBRIGHT _ So glad you're back & that your hands are on the improve & awesome job on getting off that .5kg with NO effort!
RAUPE _ Completely agree about the walking thing. Sometimes you just need to slip into the 'zone' & have some time to refresh & refocus & be on your own. I find solo time to be really therapeutic. Just being alone with your thoughts is comforting. Maybe you could tee up with DH to go swim some laps at the local pool together?
ZF _ You're allowed to be naughty at times! I hope it was worth it! lol
APPLETREE _ I get all giddy contemplating a step class. Must be the same feeling you get about pump! lol. I think you would like it though. Can you wrangle a gf into coming along to try it with you?
Love Jayne xx
JAYNE - I was in Cairns for one of the BB girls wedding :) A loss is a loss - that is all that matters!!!!!!!
Well I just got the eating & exercise plan for the first week of the Michelle Bridges 12wbt - *gulp* this is going to push me in a way I need to be pushed.
