Grab Your Tuna!

Morning everyone

Have done a nice 2.2 mile walk this morning to get dd to school. I am very unfit. A few years ago I would have done that without even thinking about it. Was very puffy on way back but tried to keep a nice even pace going to be just out of breath. Got a bad chest thanks to a nasty virus we have all had so that wasn't too difficult lol.

The dog has crashed out on the sofa now. Think she is as unfit as me bless her. And ds (15 months) is pulling his socks off and trying to push them under the dvd cabinet. I am drinking coffee and contemplating housework.

Got another 2.2 miles to do to pick dd up. Am glad of this thread to motivate me a bit though.

Have worked out if I can walk 2.5 miles roughly a day and reduce calories by 250ish I will be creating a 500 cal deficit a day which is worth 1lb a week loss. Plus exercising should tone me up a bit. So that will be roughly a stone off by middle of June when we go away.

Its got to be doable.

I got up at my usual time and DH had made himself all comfortable downstairs writing an answer for an OU assignment, so I had to shoo him out of the way.

Due to the time taken for DH to sort out his stuff, it only left me with enough time to do warm up, Fitness Test thingy, Tone and burn and some stretch.

I'm pleased to say that I'm getting lower with my press ups and I can do about 6 or 7 in the 1 minute slot of the fitness test. When I first started the DVD I was absolutely shite at press ups and I could only do about 2!

Amazon I think you have hit the nail on the head, it isn't at all braggy on this thread and we cheer along to the fact that somebody can now do a proper lunge or the fact that they can now reach their toes in the stretch section, rather than competing on the fact of how many pull can be done or sit ups etc. Oh, and get yourself sorted re the UTI, they can turn quite nasty in a short period of time.

Moody yes, I'm too struggling a bit with the breathing. I don't feel grotty anymore with the cold, but my nose is still bunged up, I'm really puffing and blowing after the shortest amount of exercise.

Good morning to you all!

Got up and did warm up and fat burner. Am really not 100% better and fat burner had me completely out of puff today! Even more than usual!

But I'm feeling good that I've done it!

Good morning!

Have to mention, if it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't have done my workout this morning. It's good to be able to share and it's all done in a non 'braggy' way.

Warm up and tone & burn done, was going to do two but have UTI and feeling slightly shitty. Onwards and upwards.

Stevie that would be ipad easy soduko so nothing impressive just how I seem to lose a lot of time at the moment when I could be doing something far more constructive or actually going to bed at a sensible hour.

Buzzard sadly I'm not near a Primark and I've looked in Sainsbury and Asda and they don't have my size. I'm going to see if the one I like in Asda comes back in stock and I can order one in.

However I'm not going to let the lack of decent support hold up the mission.

Must mention that the sports bras from Primark and Asda are perfectly fine and Sainsburys is double up your nectar points this week and they have them too.

However I still haven't found my trainers...which are lightweight running ones btw, when I find them.

Yes, only 7 minutes. I'm sure that's only a couple of soduko

It's our first garden so it was very exciting to get out there having ignored it for the last few months.

Evening all
I still not started but I am several steps closer. I have downloaded the dvd onto my ipad and I watched several of the routines last night. I've also realised I can start without a sports bra and that's just an obstacle I'm putting in the way.
I've got rather an odd week this week but hopefully I might find time to do at least one towards the end of the week and then I should have more time at the weekend.

I thought the first one looked pretty doable. I need to pair up ones you all talk about with the ones I've seen.

I did spend all yesterday afternoon gardening so I feel I achieved something. Onwards and upwards!

Well as predicted I didn't get davina done but I did walk to school and back for dd which is 1.14 miles each way. And I have to do it twice tomorrow as my car is getting mended. So that will be 4.5 miles tomorrow.

I.don't think I will be doing davina tomorrow either lol. Tomorrow I will be mostly aching I reckon.

Still don't feel 100%either so if I wasn't having to walk I bet I wouldn't have done anything.

And I did some energetic housework today too.

do I look thinner yet?

velma I agree, I don't think I look different but I feel stronger, core wise. Well done you for getting up early, I don't have time now unless DD bullies me into it later

I'm late posting this morning, but I got up and started exercising at 6.20am this morning. I love the routine that I have got going. Anyway, I did warm up, Fat Burner, Ultimate Fat Burner, abs and some stretch.

I can't remember if I told you that I did take some more photo's of myself, and I don't look any different as yet, but I do feel different. I also feel really proud of myself that I've actually stuck to something for more than one week.

I usually end up going in a fits and starts with the old exercise lark, but I think I've found something to do, that just 'fits'.

I have to shop today, not promising aything but will try when I get back. Parts of me hurt today after the 8yr old bootcamp instructor yesterday.

Morning.
I've done day one of a 5 day plan which includes warm up, sweaty cardio, weights/strength (I need heavier weights for this type of exercise) pilates/stretch cooldown.

Small difference: I have dips/dents on either side of my big tummy. I can feel the shape of my bone through the layers if I put my hand on my hip.

Morning!

Warm up and legs done! Was going to do two sessions but I'll maybe do two tomorrow. Feeling good!

Morning all! Felt much better this morning so got up and did warm up and tone and Burn. As predicted it is much harder with my 2kg weights than with my tins of big soup!

Will be on day 8 of 30 days of yoga today, but I only do it 3 days a week as my other work days are short days.

I've downloaded the 7 minute abs workout. I was going to do it but got derailed by the yoga link. Adrien is great. So now I'm also doing 30 days of yoga. Well I guess it's relaxing after a seven minute work out...

Buzzard, me too! That's why I check in even on days off, I quite like feeling I have to tell someone and if I dropped off on my days off it would be too easy to just give up posting....and then probably just give up altogether, although I like to think I'm past that point now!

Well done all of you!

I've done nothing this weekend but I did walk into Town with Dp last night for a child free night out, so I've done something I suppose. Will start again in the morning.

buzzard are you sure you're on the right thread, this one is for people 'doing a bit of movement and exercise' not the hardcore fitness freaks Total respect to you for exercising while hungover.

bim well done on the walking today. I sympathise about the coldsores, I get them too.

I'm feeling much better from having a rest today. I will be back on it tomorrow.

Well done bim, hope you feel better soon.

Just checking in and waving at all you motivated tuna grabbers.

I haven't done Davina yet as dp would have taken the piss. And I feel extremely rough. Have a top lip full of cold sores and empitgo around my nose. I look like Leslie Ash post lipjob. Not a good look.

But I did drag the kids and dog on a nice 2 mile walk this afternoon and lunged a fat hairy pony this morning who is only.marginally fitter than me so its a start.

Dp taking the day off work tomorrow to get my car mended so can't see davina coming out until Tuesday but am going to get another good walk in if I don't die of virus and skin lurgy overnight.

Glad to see people are losing weight. Am going to go to sw on Thursday I think. It doesn't really work for me beyond the first 6 weeks but if I am exercising as well it might do.

And I luffs the shiney stickers on my book!
