NewYearathon - getting fitter in 2017.

Rotten weather and a horrible 5k tonight.

I hear you blody, the weather has been so atrocious lately, it's hard to get outside to do anything!

Body Rev workout 8 today...that weighted warrior 3 pose is horrendous, I can't manage to do it with a weight in both hands, but if I can sort of do it with one...other than that circuit, it wasn't too awful

Metafit tonight

Still doing JM every Mon-Fri morning but failed to do any walks last weekend due to the utterly miserable weather .
Well done all for keeping up the routines for two whole months .

LordPeter Sorry to hear about your knee, hope it recovers soon. I started week 7 today, definitely a step up! The first circuit is the worst, my attempt at a crow push-up must look pretty poor, but I did try.

I suppose I don't have another rest day until next Wednesday now so it's not too bad.

I love carbs. I love Italy. I'm very jealous.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day, RJ. I'm going to Italy on Sat for work for 4 days... it's going to be carb heaven

I had a rest day on Monday and unexpected visitors yesterday which scuppered my evening exercise, so I had to do something to start March! Weather is hideous so I did 25mins of kettle bells/weights/squats. I'm going to feel every bit of it in the morning.

Left for work at 6:40 today, got home at 8:30pm. Did at least do my 10,000 steps across Edinburgh -including 210 bloody stairs up josephs ladder at calton(may have had to rest after that!) but it's still a no count from me today.

Also I was at a conference so while I did the best I could lunch wasn't the cleanest. So a bit of a fail all round really.

Definitely great perseverance from all of us . And to you Oubliette for keeping the thread going.

30day shred this morning. Made an effort to drink more water afterwards and less headachy so will see if that helps.

Good luck with the clean eating guys. I'll support you but won't be joining in .

Well tomorrow is both the first of march and the start of lent so it seems like a good time to start to me lord peter.

I'm hoping to do better in March too - between holiday, injury and basic lack of motivation I haven't made as much progress this month as I'd hoped. Knee really sore today so I've been resting it as much as possible and will see how it is tomorrow before doing anything. I suspect bursitis: had it in my hip three years ago and had to have a month off the bike, which was a flaming nuisance.

I'm giving up refined sugar for Lent so will try to keep you company on the clean eating, RJ. I normally give up MN too but will stay on this thread rather than give up totally - if I don't have something to keep me semi-accountable I may also give up exercise for Lent, which was not in the plan!

My biggest problem is the diet. The clean n eating hasn't happened yet for a range of reasons. Will make more of an effort next week 😕

Had yesterday off, I was just done in. Realised I'm premenstrual do energy and motivation are both pretty low.

Kettlebell fitness tonight though and it was a killer, really tough class.

Hello all, great to see so many still in the thread . I did 5k run this morning.

I'm getting headaches after running that last all day . Not particularly bad, just niggling. Any ideas anyone? Will google as well. Dehydration would be too if the list but I am well known for always having a glass of water on the go so am not sure that's the case. I'm not sure I'm eating enough afterwards. Maybe it's that. Or possibly not drinking enough straight after.

My problem is that I am fitting in a run while a DC is at an activity at least once a week so it is really tight for time. Mistimed it today and had to run in to pick DD2 up so no time to stretch or anything afterwards.

Well done, Kanye, you're a better woman than me! I'm always in awe of people who can exercise outside in winter: I would hibernate if I could.

Delicious, you've caught me up - I was going to move on to workouts 9 and 10 this week, but my knee is niggling so I'm having a week off Body Rev. I won't be able to jump straight back in with 9 and 10 so I expect I'll be on 7 and 8 again next week.

I'm having a low-impact week: the knee is mostly OK but keeps twingeing when I don't expect it, so I'm off the bike for a week and I've done Yoga Meltdown L1 today. Will aim to do L2 tomorrow.

Argh, I fell off the thread - I was doing alright up until a week ago, and then I've been feeling a bit unwell and then had some time off work, but have tried to catch up and done 5 Body Rev workouts in the last 4 days. Back to work tomorrow and on to week 7, eek. Hope everyone is doing a bit better than me!

Kanye well done for getting out there and doing it!

Tonight's run was pretty miserable....it started raining about 100m from the front door and it was freezing. I trudged very slowly through 6.5km. 4-5km was very hard going, I walked a couple of stretches. It was a combination of the horrible weather and leaden legs. But at least it's done!

On the upside, I don't know where I got my last distance log figure, but as of tonight, it is 57km.

MMA/circuits this morning. Really enjoyed it.
