Thai boxing class this morning.

Boost afternoon out with friends this afternoon 😳.

Balanced out eh!

That's very frustrating about your knee, Peter.

I had a bad week for any sort of motivation, but got out for a run today and very pleased I got just over 4k without a niggle in my calf so I've decided I'm over this injury! Hopefully I'll do 6k tomorrow.

Biked to work and back but my knee is niggling again - think I'm going to rest it and ice it over the weekend and then do low impact things next week (maybe Yoga Meltdown and NMTZ) rather than get straight back onto Body Rev. So I haven't made target this week on the Jillian, only two workouts rather than four.

30 day shred this morning.

I had another unscheduled rest day yesterday. I actually feel much better for it - I've just done NMTZ and my usual weights felt really light.

I did 159 squats with my pt today. I think that should count as a week of workouts!

Metafit tonight. Enjoyed it but my calves are soooo tight.

Rest day today due to an aching right calf and a restless night due to storm noise resulting in a lie in Blush.

LordPeterWimsey · 23/02/2017 07:04

I had an unscheduled rest day yesterday because I'm shattered and my right knee was niggling. Body Rev workout 8 done this morning, but I skipped the rock star jumps: the knee seems to be OK but I don't want to take chances.

If I can cycle and do workout 7 tomorrow, and do workout 8 again over the weekend, I'll be on target for the week - minor miracle considering that I got virtually no sleep on Friday and Saturday nights and I had a lot of catching up to do.

RJnomore1 · 22/02/2017 22:57

Well I forgot my gym kit today so dh was supppsed to take it in for me, went straight to a board meeting from work, headed to the gym at 8 and no kit.

So I came home and ate crisps instead Blush

I did walk over 10k and dance for two solid hours yesterday but not counting that!

Hello. I had an unscheduled rest day yesterday (DS's parents evening lasted an hour and a half).

I finished off L3 of Ri30 this evening and did half of 6W6P L1.

I'm back! Kanye, so pleased to hear that you managed to get out for a run -hope the calf is still OK.

Biked to work and back, and BOdy Rev workout 7 done. I'm not modifying anything now so I may be able to move on to workouts 9 and 10 next week. Fun times.

Hope you're having fun at the Pet Shop Boys, RJ - there's a ghost from my youth! I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know they were still around.

TooStressyForMyOwnGood · 21/02/2017 12:50

Hello all. Kanye, great news about the running Smile. I went for a run yesterday then did 30DS level 2 this morning. Have gone back to 1kg weights though, think it was just too much with 2kg for me. Will move onto level 3 next I think.

blodynmawr · 21/02/2017 07:26

Still doing Jillian KBFF every Mon-Fri first thing. Half term here this week, which would usually result in a disrupted routine, but so far so good Smile.
BFBM and NMTZ used to be my faves Oubliette - I may dig them out!

RJnomore1 · 20/02/2017 20:34

Hooray Kanye! Nothing like getting back to what you love after an enforced lay off.

Another kettlebell coaching session today. Wrecked but I'm off to see the pet shop boys in Glasgow tomorrow so I'll have a day off.

Back to cardio this evening: BFBM (which I'm starting to quite enjoy).

Yay, I did 3km! It was really slow, which was actually really hard, and I stopped half way to stretch my calf, but I didn't have to hobble at all!
Total 46km

TooStressyForMyOwnGood · 19/02/2017 21:14

Well done RJ Star. Also everyone else seems to be doing brilliantly too Smile.

EatSpamAmandaLamb · 19/02/2017 20:43

I have been managing 3 miles of walking everyday along with yoga, 20 mins kettle ball and 15 mins resistance bands without flagging. It feels such a long way from laying flat in bed. I cried in park yesterday when I walked up 150 steps, twice! I have never felt so grateful for my body. I can't believe it is actually allowing me to move. I am so overwhelmed by it but also angry about what I missed out on because of being so sick. I feel so much stronger nowadays. 💪

RJnomore1 · 19/02/2017 20:20

I did wonder when I managed to overtake you oub!

NoFuckingRoomOnMyBroom · 19/02/2017 19:36

Gym session on friday & a 4.5k run today is my weeks total as been away without the opportunity to do much though it was an active few days with a mammoth hike & kayaking with a spot of abseiling thrown in so not a complete cop out...

Oops - that should be (40/210) - obviously can't count Blush

Well done RJ - that's brilliant!

Welcome Sophie - great to have you joining us.

I've just done NMTZ.

Well done RJ! 💪🏋

I've been a bit hit and miss this week, mainly did some walking. I've been feeling crappy with lots of migraine nausea so not feeling like doing anything let alone exercise. But I am feeling twitchy for needing a run, and based on the physio exercises, and my month of rest, I'm going to try a short jog tonight. I'm really looking forward to it Blush

LordPeterWimsey · 19/02/2017 16:57

Congratulations RJ! That's brilliant. So pleased for you.
