Grab Your Tuna!

I do those sort of press ups too Peace, but using the kitchen table . Definitely feels like hard work to me though!

I wanted to scoff a huge tub of nachos last night. Managed to resist.

I was feeling terrible over the Easter weekend. I think it is partly down to becoming dehydrated after flying and getting no downtime to rest, disconnect/disengage and rehydrate. It's been stressful and my capacity to deal with stress has been greatly diminished. Managed a slower paced day yesterday and drank water all day. Still thirsty and drinking today but lips not as cracked.

DH says he thinks he has noticed a small difference around my bum. I can't see any difference but am feeling as if I am getting physically stronger.

I have a new favourite exercise that might help with push ups: feet 2-3 feet from a wall, hands apart and on wall. Bend elbows and push to wall, then push back with arms. I can feel the right arm and shoulder muscles working (and can feel in in my ham strings too) yet it is a fairly gentle exercise.

Warm up, fat burner, ultimate fat burner and advanced abs with some stretch all done. I sat and wrote for about 5 to 6 hours yesterday and for some reason my mind tells me that when I have a break I should eat bloody biscuits .

I will not do it today. I must keep thinking of my bikini in 15.5 weeks.

I'm so tired after the weekend, and it's also my day for my weekly vit d supplement (I usually start to feel a bit perkier by Thursday) . I did the warm up and the fat burner. Tidied the kitchen and my bedroom, but now lounging on the sofa amidst all the mess and dust but really can't find any energy.

My work trousers are still taking the strain, need to step up my game.

If I get back.home and find I've only put on a pound in weight, I'll be really happy. For that to happen over Easter (or any school holiday) is a great success. I've been keeping up short workouts (about 10-20 minutes) and I am wearing a shirt today that was too small for me in December.

I weighed myself and I'm 10st 10.8lb, so I've gained just over a lb in weight. My proper weigh in is on a Sunday, so hopefully I'll have lost the lb plus a bit extra come Sunday.

I did warm up, ultimate fat burner, box fit, tone and sculpt and some stretch this morning. It felt good getting back into it.

I'm back from our long weekend away. I don't drink alcohol, so no issues there, but my eating has gone a bit awry, not shockingly bad, but the odd biscuit and icecream etc.

I will weigh myself tomorrow and report back. I will be doing davina tomorrow morning.

I feel absolutely shattered, not because of late nights, but because of the softest bed in the world. I like a really firm mattress, ours is a firm, non roll together mattress, but the one on the bed in the caravan was quite soft, providing little support and everytime DH rolled or moved about I woke. I felt as though I was clinging to the side of mount everest. I was therefore waking probably 5 or 6 times per night to try and get comfortable. I can't wait to be laid on my mattress tonight for me to sleep all the way through.

Had a good dance on Saturday night, haven't done any Davina but just fitting in a few of the lunges and squats going about my daily business .
I actually haven't wanted chocolate for about 10 days, very odd, but that's quite a few calories I'm dropping as I was eating a large bar every day, but did share an Easter egg with the OH last night so think I should do a few 7 minutes today.

Happy Easter!

I did warm up and ultimate legs this morning. I'm funding the tone & pulse is hurting my.... urethra area sorry if tmi. It must've something to do with the push ups and pelvic floor mixed with recent UTI. Sorry if TMI. If anyone else has suffered similar in the past please share. I'm drinking as much water as I can handle when I'm excercising to try and stop this. I'll carry on with the sessions that don't leave me hurting inside.

Hope you've all had a fab Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everyone! Hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend.

Cherry, that's sounds as good as anything, nothing like a dance to burn those calories.

Well I've been good on Good Friday. Been out for a meal, Dp decided he was going in the shed of dread for a quick workout, ds having a quick go on the iPod before bed so I decided to stick Davina on and I've managed warm up, ultimate legs and tone & pulse. If he can do it so can I

Hope to carry on in the morning but for now going to have a small glass of wine.

I'm still hurting from Tuesday so I've just done the warm up, danced round my kitchen and some fast walking to raise my pulse and get breathless

Hello all!

I've had a few days off, been out and about in the evenings and just been too tired in the morning to do anything, damn clock change still affecting me. Hopefully will get my mojo back over the weekend, going to have to do something, have lots of Easter Eggs to 'help' ds eat

Happy Easter, I'll update when I do my next sessions, hopefully tomorrow morning.

Happy holidays everyone!

stevie - hope you are ok?

I am wondering if Steve snuck into Davina's suitcase and is living it up in Vegas. Or she could be busy with rehearsals for the next DVD!

Hope you're well, stevie, and having a great Easter break!

Had two days off as physio and her thumbs on steel rendered my knee unuable. Still very bruised but (with the help of heir DD) managed warm up, fat burner, tone and sculpt and stretch. It was a killer after having just two days off, Tesco delivery woman turned up half way through and must have wondered what the hell was wrong with me .

Waves to everyone, you all seem to be doing so well.

We're off abroad for a bit, staying in the place DH rents for work. I've ordered a workout mat and hope to just carry on with using the online videos I have been. (Only managed 5 minutes yesterday, and 20 today.) There's wifi there, but it's a bit patchy. Should be doing lots of walking around though. :)

Happy holidays to all!

I don't think I will be doing Davina today, but I will hopefully get a swim done. I'm then on holiday for the Easter weekend and won't be back until early evening on Easter Monday, so in all honesty I probably won't get any 'proper' exercise done other than walking around etc.

We are off to a Haven sight and DD is really excited because we have picked a park that has an 'exciting' pool with a long slide and jets etc. I can see that I'll probably be in the water the majority of the weekend, getting pissed off at other kids nearly jumping on me!

I will report back later today to say what exercise I ended up doing.

Hi everyone, slightly envious that you are all exercising and I am struggling to get motivated.

My knees have been killing me so I've decided to give the cardio and jogging a break. Today I did warm up, tone and sculpt, advanced abs And stretch.

I also fitted a Jillian Michaels tricep work out in the middle of it. That bloody killed!

I did warm up, ultimate fat burner, fitness challenge and advanced abs and some stretch. Themadvanced abs wasn't too bad actually although my right leg started quivering when I was doing the cruches with my legs straight up whichnwas a bit odd.

Have a nice day everyone!

velma when you said a literature review, I imagined you would be picking out the relevant bits from Mrs Gaskell or Edmund Spenser... Doing an MSc by distance learning is a fantastic achievement (as is fitting in a 30-minute swim after a hard day of working through a dissertation).

I did a 30 minute swim with the majority done by doing front crawl. I will try and get up tomorrow and do the dvd.

Got the Davina 7 minute on my iPad, didn't do any exercise (apart from walking) Sunday and yesterday. This morning I did the ten minute warm up, the fat burner and ultimate fat burner.

My legs hurt!

[ paradise, this is good for abs]]

I took Saturday off, and have done at least 20 minutes per day since that. Feel quite sluggish and seem to have woken up with a lot of extra water weight wobbling around, so I'm trying to fit in a bit extra around all the jobs.
