NewYearathon - getting fitter in 2017.

Biked to work and back and did Body Rev workout 10 today. Workout 10 is the pits: she's really keen on lots of jump exercises in this one (jumping lunges, jumping squats, rock star jumps with weights) and my poor knees hate it. Weirdly workout 9 is OK: normally I find the front-of-body workouts harder.

So this week I've done Body Rev workouts 8, 9 and 10, and done three of the 10MBT workouts, plus biking to work and back twice. Which means I've made my target for the first week in a little while.

Works been mad. 12/13 hour days so no training since Monday. Pt today and back on it before I lose the plot.

It's just end of financial year isn't it, always the same.

Still KBFFing.
My two only learned the trumpet for about a year in primary before they decided it was not for them, so I never had to endure any recitals....
The brighter mornings these days are really helping motivation first thing .

Biked to work and back, and did Body Rev workout 9. Yesterday was a bit rubbish: I did a couple of the 10 Minute Body Transformations workouts as I didn't have time for Body Rev, but I was phoning it in. Jillian would not be pleased.

Very impressed, Oubliette! Hope it's good, but I can see that you might deserve wine afterwards. DD's music school insists everyone plays in an ensemble as soon as they pass Grade 1, and then there's a concert at the end of every term. That's quite an ordeal too.

Wow, that sounds amazing, he must be very good. I will admit, I was fearing youthful limericks

That's annoying, random. Is it just running that aggravates your ankle? I have really lost heart at the moment, but I've realised that some medication I'm on might be making my malaise worse. I'm going to talk to the go about stopping it and see if I feel any more energetic. Anyway, I have to go to buy some green t-shirts for the children (st Patrick's day parties at school tomorrow and last year's have gone astray) so I'm going to walk to the shopping centre later to get them, about 6k.

Oubliette - dare I ask what a composition competition is??

My ankle is still grumbling if I do anything beyond walking but I can walk up hills at least. So I've been sulking too and eating junk and not bothering with exercise I can do which is rubbish.

Must get back in the habit of doing something even if it's just a few squats and sit ups.

Really want to get on with running and trying for a late may half marathon.

Hi all, 5k runs today and yesterday. Ankle really felt it today though. Planned rest days tomorrow and Thursday.

As I left on the 8.15 train this morning and I'm just on the train home now I guess today is my rest day this week.

Still KBFFing plus I fitted in a few walks on the weekend, thanks to the better weather .
Well done everyone keeping up routines - you are all inspirational .

I've been forgetting to post on here because I'm off the rest of MN for Lent. I'm back on the bike - knee seems better. I've finished with Body Rev workouts 7 and 8 and I'm about to move on to workouts 9 and 10 from tomorrow (Delicious, we'll be on the same workouts from next week!) Being cowardly I wanted to start them mid-week so that I only have to do them once before the weekend comes.

Well done everyone else for sticking with it. Kanye, you're amazing doing 5 km in spite of the lack of energy.

RJ, I would give a lot to get any kind of high after exercise: it's all such a tedious slog and I just have to keep the very long term aims in mind. How are you doing on the clean eating? I was doing OK and then succumbed to quantities of crisps yesterday.

Bad week last week...dh and I were both travelling and then we got a dose of the pukes in the house. I did 8km and a couple of YouTube videos. No energy tonight but I did 5km. I'm finding getting back to running really hard. I'm thinking about going back to the c25k programme, right back to basics to try to regain some stamina.

75km

Body Rev workout 7 today - didn't feel quite as hard this go around, so that must be a good thing??

Kettlebell coaching class tonight. Happy bunny waiting for the train home.

I think I definitely get lifters high or whatever it's called!

Oub, I think feeling guilty is inevitable in life! You really shouldn't though - you are an inspiration .

5k run this morning.

Oubliette You're doing brilliantly, definitely don't feel guilty! 300 days was impressive but must have been quite restrictive, I like the sound of the target that you've set this year.

LordPeter Glad you're feeling better!

I'm really annoyed with myself for lagging a bit lately. I had a weekend away last week, and then a couple of failure of willpower on some days. I was due to begin week 8 of Body Rev today, but I had an awful night due to period pain and feeling sick too much wine and pizza. Today the furthest I have managed to move was to the supermarket, and I've eaten crap all day.

I am hoping for a better night and much better week this week.

MMA circuits this morning. I'm in pain! Not bad pain - doms- but my god my arse and thighs. Not recovered from Friday and today's been a killer.

Rested yesterday so I'm almost back fighting fit.

Oub I hope your back is just a niggle
