Thanks idkick only 17 weeks and still sick but managing exercise. What is insanity like?!

jackster NMTZ is tough - even dropping to 2kg for some. It feels long to me. Sorry you are having a hard time. Exercise keeps me (relatively) sane too....

Aiming for JM yoga tonight as looong day at work.

Thanks idkick; he is 7, and lovely but exhausting!

It was crazy but so fun, couldn't make a habit of it though!

Circuit1 NMTZ is the worst! Sorry to hear about your DS Jackster How old is he?

Zumba + Insanity sounds scary but awesome idkick!

NMTZ done today, first time in ages and first time using 3kgs (but had to go down to 2kgs for circuits 1&4). Enjoyed it!

Exercise is keeping me sane at the moment - having a v hard time with DS (who has ASD amongst other difficulties and lots of anxiety problems Sad [knackeredface]).

My circuit class got cancelled due to rain so me and a friend tried Zumba for the first time it was fun and then we madly decided to stay for the insanity class after Zumba so I think tomorrow will be a day off

Hello all. Still here in mind if not in body and taking inspiration from you lot.

30DSL2 tonight. Only 2kg weights. I've been enjoying a bit of swimming. If I win the lottery I shall buy a house with a pool.

Hi all! Busy weekend with parents up and then they looked after dd so DH and I sneaked off overnight last night. Managed L2 6w6p on Friday- had forgotten how tough it is! Did 45 mins on cross trainer on Saturday and then went to hotel gym yesterday and today- was a good gym! Did 30 minutes of cardio followed by 20 minutes of weights/circuit stuff each day. Rest day tomorrow and possibly a really horrible Bob thing onwednesday .....

NMTZ done. I still use 2kg for the majority of the shoulder section, it used to be all though so a tiny improvement Grin

Shred L2 done today. Can't manage more than 2kgs on the final strength circuit! Need to work my way up to it (will start with just the first military press bit with 3s and go from there!).

Runmamarun · 06/07/2014 23:48

Thanks both I have tried mfp (not for long) in the past so will give it another go!

I couldn't agree with Jackster more, MFP is the way to go Smile

run, if you're not already I recommend logging everything you eat and drink on My Fitness Pal - then it makes it much easier to work out what you can "afford" in terms of treats etc without gaining weight / while still losing weight (whichever you are trying to do).

Shaun T workouts done yesterday and today.

Runmamarun · 06/07/2014 17:44

Thanks Smile Yesterday breakfast was 2 eggs on a plate of salad with olive oil and black pepper…was yummy! Ran 3 miles this morning followed by day 2 RI30…had a protein shake for breakfast as had taken kids swimming and thats the best I could do.

This is where I go wrong…I can eat healthily all day. Last night I can 3 glasses of cider! And about an hour ago I was given a small ice-cream at parents in law so took it (tired to say no!) This is where I'm going wrong!!! But if I keep up the exercise will these bits make that much difference?

Thanks!

Well done Run what are you going to have?

Runmamarun · 05/07/2014 09:57

Day 1 RI30 done…now for a decent breakfast to prevent me snacking!

Runmamarun · 04/07/2014 22:39

Hi, I've tried the 30ds a few years ago and recently bought the RI30 but only managed a few days before life became hectic. Since then have been running a few times a week 4-7 miles a run and also 1 or 2 body attack classes. I'm borderline overweight, 5ft4" and 10st10lb and the weight gain is really stressing me out now. I keep trying to low carb bootcamp but keep quitting in the afternoon!! So I'm going to get the RI30 back on tomorrow and plan to do it every day bar 1 rest day, alongside running. Also will just keep trying to eat as clean as I can…so hard with dh who brings crap into the house in the evenings...

20 minutes of fast pace is better than an hour at slow pace apparently. It was hard but fun we did 100 reps of 5 exercises!

OP posts:
Jacksterbear · 03/07/2014 20:53

Outdoor HIIT sounds fun idkick!

Short of time today so just managed a quick 20 mins on the exercise bike (quicker than setting up the DVD player for a JM!) but did push it really hard to make up for the short time! [sweats]
