Grab Your Tuna!

Is tone and burn making a difference to your body? I've tried it twice but I'm not keen, it's a bit fast for me. If it helps the bingo wings though I'm all for it!

Bloomin eck Stevie 4 workouts? What happened to this being "oh, I can manage 7 mins"?

I don't like any of the exercises but the one I feel the most is the bouncing squats in the legs workout.

The first defence stuff has done the trick and I felt a little better this morning so I did warm up, fat burner, tone and sculpt, abs and some stretch.

I will continue with the the first defence to make sure the lurgey doesn't have a last stand.

I've got the joys of taking DD to swimming and dancing lessons this morning, so whilst dancing is on, I get to drink tea and chat for 2 hours with my friends. We went round to one of the friends house last Saturday night and some people got very drunk (I don't drink so I got to see all the incriminating evidence), so we'll have a good session of dissecting the night.

Evening all .... my, you've all been energetic!

I'm having a day off tomorrow having done 6 days on the trot. Today was a quick one - warm up and fat burner followed by tone and sculpt. Oh those press-ups are a killer. Shall have to do abs soon .... eek.

Did you manage to get any yoga done stevie? I've done nothing today except a very brief downward facing dog as I just felt I needed to do it! Very odd for me!!

Did Ultimate Fat Burner this morning and am watching Box Fit and semi-following it so I know what to do tomorrow. Co-ordination not my strong point .

Thighs still definitely protesting...

Afternoon!

Only did warm up, tone and burn this morning but still feel fantastic!

I just feel better doing something, which is better than nothing. Love the little morning routine now and I'm not getting bored because the sessions are in short, manageable 7 minute bursts. Think that's the beauty of this DVD, once you get used to excersising again you feel that you can do more.

Forgot to say, I'm doing SW. Lost 6lbs in my first week and am now losing 1/2lb a week. Annoying but I'm getting there.

I ate crap most of last week but thanks to Davina and jogging still lost 1/2lb.

bimbam you will need weights for some of it but not all. You can use beans in the meantime. My weights are only 1lb each which is slightly pathetic.

velma Well done on your swim. I bought a new costume in Asda last week. It still has the tags on. 40 lengths is loads, I feel inspired to maybe do it next week.

Welcome bim we will be all here on Monday. You can use either your tuna or you can use weights or bottles of pop or whatever you've got to hand.

Your holiday in 12 weeks will give you some focus. Remember if you do need to also lose weight, then this comes from 80% food and 20% exercise. My focus is also my holiday which is now 16 weeks away. I'm hoping to lose about 7 -10lb and to tone up. We are all focussed on the 'small differences' rather than turning into amazonian warrior women but I won't say no if I do turn out that way

Right. Davina turned up today. Booked a holiday last night for 14th june. So 12 weeks away.

I can be a bikini babe in 12 weeks right? I obviously have some baby weight to shift. I mean he is 15 months now so its about time I got back into my pre pregnancy clothes yes? They told me bfing would melt the fat off but it hasn't. Just given me odd boobs and a layer of flab that just won't shift.

Am ill with some variation of bird flu at the moment. Going to aim for a long walk tomorrow and Sunday then start on Monday. Previously done sw with success for the first 6 weeks then a month of gaining and losing the same 1lb so leaving fat club until after easter then I might lose a bit to feel better just before we go away.

Look out for.me Monday morning. I will be the one in a nightie, dps jammie bottoms and a sagging bfing bra with 1 nork bigger than the other. I might still have green snot But am going to give it a go.

Btw do we need weights? Do have tins of tuna but no weights.

No Davina today, but I have been for a 30 minute swim. I did 40 lengths with a combination of breaststroke and front crawl. I felt as though I could have swam for l8nger, but the lane swimming was closing.

I will be doung Davina tomorrow if I can prevent this niggle of a sore throat developing, I've already had one dose of First Defence, so fingers crossed it does the trick.

MoodyKat that sounds like the lurgy I was ill with when stevie started the last thread. Rest up, chest infections are no joke. I still have a bit of a cough. Someone told me to try rubbing Vicks on my feet!

Well.done on your bouncing and looking beautiful! ...and today's workout. Hope the nausea wears off soon.

Well done Peace :)

I started working out on 1st March. So that is 3 weeks (in 2 days).
Small differences:
I no longer recoil in horror as much when I look in the mirror. I'm too busy looking for differences!

I think my wrists and forearms are getting stronger. Push ups and the variations are getting easier. My forearms feel tighter. The same goes for my upper back and upper ribcage.

Aim: I want to work on getting a waist.

Thank you! I managed Day 3 today and I think it might have been a bit easier.

Also did Davina:
warm up, tone and sculpt, total abs, tone and burn, legs and stretch.

I think tone and burn is a bit shit to be honest. Also has anyone done the harder abs section? I need more lower abs exercises.

I went out for a drink last night with the ladies and was told I bounced into the room (they haven't seen me 'bounce' for years) :) A random man who was around half my age told me I looked beautiful :) :)

This morning I have a minging hangover and have watched the eclipse (beautiful sunny day in Worcs), done warm up, fat burner, abs and total stretch and now I think I'm going to throw up. :( :(
