I managed NMTZ this evening. Still seem to be struggling with motivation a bit at the moment.

Did my Kettlebell fitness class today, was not good. Hot sweaty and post holiday. I didn't actually spew but it did come close.

I've just had galaxy chocolate.

Well done you guys. Fantastic activity and I feel like a sloth. I have mostly sat in the couch napping, watching films and clutching my stomach and I'm now trying the alcohol remedy.

I will be fine by Monday, unless these hormones send my system totally loopy. I now have five weeks till the Scottish open so Monday is full speed ahead.

Kanye was that the race for life one by any chance?

Parkrun pb:-). 31.22 at slightly hilly course. Busy start so dodging slower people, caught 30 mins pacer at 1k, stayed with them to 4.2 and to be fair probably didn't cross the start for 30s. Just ran out of stamina at the very end although I did manage to run the whole way. Actually felt sick after the finish for the first time ever too. Then did some upper body weights, discovered I can only do 10 squats holding nearly 2yo DD and am about to do some abs now!

KanyesLunchbox · 08/07/2017 21:26

I did a 5k with dd today which was fun. It was an inflatable course, so 10 different obstacles to get over and through en route. Tbh, between the heat and my massive hangover (very long and lovely lunch yesterday Blush ) we walked a lot of it --
as did most other people so I didn't feel quite so bad!

Hope you're feeling back to normal soon, RJ. Enjoy your rest day tomorrow, Oubliette. I'm taking tomorrow off too but I anticipate a high step count as we're going to a theme park for the day. Love how the children get to dictate my birthday party Hmm Wink

Hope you feel better soon RJ

I did a short session this morning (6W6P L1), and probably won't exercise again until Monday.

I've given up for the moment. I was taking norehisterone(?) while I was away so I could use the pool and my periods arrived with a bit of a flurry and I feel wiped out. I should be fine by Monday, new week new start and five weeks till my next comp.

I've given up for a few days. Up four times with children last night so any will to do anything tonight is gone out the window. I've a long liquid lovely lunch with some friends tomorrow so hopefully I'll be in a fit state for my inflatables run with dd on Saturday Blush

OublietteBravo · 06/07/2017 20:21

Right. I eventually worked up enough motivation to exercise. I've just done 30DS L3D1 (think I might regret using the 3kg weights) & 6W6P L2D5.5 (wimped out and went back to 1kg weights)

Ok I'm back on it tomorrow - August is too far away Kanye!!

OublietteBravo · 05/07/2017 22:20

Yes. Let's try again from tomorrow (another rest day for me today - I had to go to sports day)

OP posts:
KanyesLunchbox · 05/07/2017 22:09

How about August? Grin

RJnomore1 · 05/07/2017 21:51

Shall we restart July from tomorrow?? 😬

KanyesLunchbox · 05/07/2017 21:48

Haven't had a great start either, oubliette, although I had another fucking migraine for the last couple of days which didn't help my motivation. I ran to and from the gym tonight. It was packed there so didn't get to do as much as I planned, but better than sitting on the couch!

OublietteBravo · 04/07/2017 20:00

Hmmm - I seem to have had a poor start to July. My thigh felt really sore on Saturday, so I took both Sunday and Monday as rest days. Just done NMTZ - thigh feeling totally normal.

Happy birthdays Bravos! 🎂

I was wildly undisciplined for the last few days and work and beer family stuff got in the way of exercising. I'm going to go for a run after the monsters are in bed.

Oops - I forgot to record 6W6P L1 yesterday morning. Rest day today (it's birthday weekend in the Bravo household - DH today, DD tomorrow).

Kinda lost you guys.

Went for a bike ride today and I'm claiming it as although it was only about 7k it's the first time I've cycled in at least a decade. I sobbed quietly along the beach while I tried to avoid small children and German tourists.
