Beachbody thread 7 (LIIFT, T25, 21 day fix etc) plus a lovely Beachbody new arrival!

Try again 🙄

Well donePurple!
How are you feeling? A good rest is well deserved over the next couple of days I think

3am argh! You poor thing Reastie . You'll start getting some proper sleep soonis your DD an early riser too?

I get rusty too, yum . Feels like everything aches if I dont workout. My body can cope with a weeks rest but any more and it starts to complain. Well done for getting back on the MFP wagon!

Well done Purple !

Purple well done 🏆🥇, that’s a fantastic time. How are your legs?!

Yumy glad the stretches helped and hope the rust is soon shed 😁

Purple - how many miles was it - wow sounds like you did amazingly! Well done hope your recovery is quick.

Reastie up at 3 or 4 for the day - that is really hard. Hope you manage to fit in some weekend naps.

Plink I think you were right the pain was just from being rusty. I did some stretches followed by day 1 real time 21 day fix - I am now good sore, really pleased as I finished the whole workout - it went pretty quickly. I fell asleep in a chair after lunch - god knows what would happen if I did a marathon My eating was horrendous yesterday but I am back on MFP today and feeling more on the wagon.

I wondered that when I saw your post at that time reastie! I finished in c5hrs 45. Will need to check website when the times go up. I was a lot faster than I expected - so much so that DH and kiss were still eating their lunch in prezzo when I crossed the line!

Roman - I’m definitely up for doing that new bbod programme with you plus diet but will need to start in a week or so’s time - I predict very sore legs for me for the next few days!

Plink 😂 you were lucky you didn’t get me at 3am! Most days I’m up for the day from 3/4am. No wonder I’m falling apart!

Purple thinking of you. Keep running!

5:22am Reastie were you feeding a hungry baby at that point by any chance? 😂

Purple enjoy! Looking forward to an update. Pace yourself and don’t start off too fast in all the excitement. You’ll do great!

Good Luck Purple!!

Eek!! Good luck purple !!!

You'll be great! I have no idea what the going phrases are for running encouragement? Take your time seems like a stupid thing to say 😂

Enjoy it and do your best. I'm sure you will absolutely smash it!!

Welcome hippy!
I’m full on panicking about my race tomorrow. OMG. I know it will be fine (hard but fine) when I start but I can’t help worrying. Argh.
Reastie - I remember we’ll only getting to do 20mins of my workout before ds needed a feed/woke up etc. As I read your post I was right back in that moment.... solidarity!
Poppy - glad you’re feeling a bit better. The plantar fasciitis is taking a long time to heal. How frustrating for you
Have a good day tomorrow - I’ll be running for most of it

I remember that advert! So funny, I just heard the first ‘ooooooohhhhhhhh’ and I remembered it straight away!

Oh my god I remember that advert!!!

Oh I had that too yum

It's gone away but it was there after my 1st workout back. I think it's a sign that I shouldn't have too long a break. Eep.

Gone now - should go away once you get back into the swing of things I reckon. Stretching will definitely help.

showing my age it's an advert from the 80s www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Get+That+Friday+Feeling+Crunchie+Advert&view=detail&mid=E64B74FC4C56B7BE25E1E64B74FC4C56B7BE25E1&FORM=VIRE

Never thought I would say this but I need to add some warm up stretches to 21 day fix tomorrow as I had a bit of pain in my hip during workout (dodgy foot site) and it was pretty uncomfy for school run … bloody hell I am falling apart!

Thank crunchie 😂😂

Never heard that before 😂😂

Hi Hippy welcome! What about the new workout on Monday Roman mentioned as then you will have a buddy or two on here?

Reastie I hope the results from your blood tests come back quickly when you have them done. Well done for getting to GP to get it looked into.

Beachbody OD still working - I think it will run out for me next week though. I did the real time intro workout for 21 day fix today and found it fine apart from the twisted jump ropes

Purple my foot problem has improved a bit but is basically still there. I will give it a couple more months then go to a gp. The vitamin d stuff seems ok - periods back to regular and legs no longer have the weird loose stetchy pain things. I am not bouncing with energy or anything exciting like that but def feel better than I did. I feel like I have a touch of butterflies in my tummy for you about the ultra marathon - it is kind of exciting to even 'know' someone doing that!

Plink I am glad to be getting back on the band wagon - I think though need to keep posting here for support from you guys as it means I at least do a couple of workouts a week rather than zero!!

Thank crunchie it's Friday everyone

Plink no they’re not wound pains they’re bowel pains! Gp has said I have to get a blood test to test for ‘everything’ 😲 to rule everything out and has said I can increase dose of anti spasmodics in the hope. Debating if I can face going for blood test this afternoon before school pick up having soent all morning waiting and seeing gp (and getting baby ready etc). The quicker I have the test the quicker I get results. Enjoy all the exercise before pg (in the nicest way possible!) I remember doing workouts and really savouring them not knowing if I’d get pg and when I might be physically capable again (although loads of people just keep going during pg, my body is just rubbish).

Oh Reastie that brings back memories 🙈 DS clung to me like a limpet and then went purple and screamed every evening for an hour or two. It was torture. Definitely get a bath. I used to have to wait til OH got home before I could shower. Thanks for the fx I got nausea pretty bad with DS (nowhere near your levels - that was unbearable for you) so we'll see how no.2 goes.
I remember trying Tony Hortons 10 minute workouts in the early days post birth (about 4 months after) and 21DFx. The Tony Horton ones were okish but 21DFx was too much for DS. Anything longer than 20 mins away from me was too much for him. Entirely frustrating 😂 hope you manage to get what you want done.

Haha thanks yum tis very exciting. How are you feeling about getting back on the wagon? Do you feel you're getting there? If it helps I just had 2 weeks of no exercise and a bit more gluttony than usual so being strict again is proving difficult

Ouch, take it easy Purple gardening is quite a tax on the body. I hadn't done any for a while until recently and its surprising how sore it makes you. Chopping brambles with shears... my wrist and arm was killing for days after! Thanks for the crossing I couldn't think of a worse place to feel sick < not envy. I remember there was a guy who used to get on my bus during the first few months and he had the most disgusting aftershave. Made me want to hurl the whole hour long journey.

Hi Hippy ! Welcome to the thread! I'd highly recommend Liift4 on my 2nd round of that and it's fantastic!

Oh Reastie are those pains from your wound? Hope you can get some decent painkillers to help in the meantime?

Purple you absolutely must rest! That’s an order! Can’t wait to hear how sat goes, best of luck (not that you need it) and enjoy it.

Hello hippy! Do you have plans for what to try next on bbod? We might be able to recommend something if you tell us what sort of thing you’re looking for.

Got gp apt this morning for pesky stomach pains as they’re getting worse and pretty unbearable. In the meantime the second half of this week I’m focusing on getting dd to school on time and adjusting to school run and not exercise whilst I’m still suffering as school run is exhausting enough for me. Next week I’ll do a bit more. Went into work yesterday morning to help out so that was mega tiring!

Yumy it’s funny but he did look quite interested! There’s an aerobics class near me where they have a few classes you can bring a baby /child along to sit and watch in buggies etc. I’m wondering if it might actually keep Ds amused long enough to do at least half of it, but I need to get in more of a routine first and also cross fingers he will actually start to tolerate the pram. What with that and sling avoidance my ideas of long walks are not panning out 😭

Hello! I didn't know there was a Beachbody thread! I signed up for BOD 6 weeks ago and love it!
Finished 21dfrt this morning (modified and took me nearly 5 weeks).
Back after work to read properly!

Ooh - sorry cross posts. Well done for the workout reastie. Top commitment!

Reastie - sorry to hear you’re still struggling with the IBS. I bet exhaustion from having a small ds doesn’t help. Hang in there.

Poppy - good to hear from you. You’ve cancelled bbod ??? I hope the DVDs get you back into it. It’s annoying that it takes ages to make a habit and not that long to break it isn’t it? Are you feeling well again now?

Plink - all my fingers and toes are crossed for you re TTC. It’s difficult not to drive yourself mad symptom watching. I definitely did. I remember suddenly gagging and thinking I was going to be sick on the tube and that’s how I knew.

I’m driving myself mad this week. Went for my last run yesterday with DH. We ended up going really fast so I feel a bit sore now (idiot) then I did loads of digging in the garden so my shoulders are sore. I’m literally self sabotaging. Must calm down and have a low activity few days before sat.

20 minutes of step aerobics is fantastic - I bet he probably quite enjoyed watching the workout

I managed 20 mins of step aerobics where Ds just sat in the bouncy chair and watched . I just kept going until he started crying! My ankles are really weak though so I have to take it really easy on the step. Still, it all counts, especially when the rest of the day has been pretty much exclusively feeding on the sofa. No shower yet!
