I used to uber fit. Now I'm fat!! Help make me a schedule to get fab again!!

[upahill]

Today is the day I get my body back!!!
I used to be an 8 /10 and in the last two years I have put on 2 1/2 stone and now a good 14.

Here's what I love doing exercise wise
mountain biking - treks
some road biking
gym
some classes
archery
caving
swim
I have promised a friend I will go running with him
I occassionly rock climb.

Any ideas how I can make a programme that will get me slim again? - of course i am addressing food and drink intake.
At the moment it all seems daunting, as if I'm an impossible challenge.

I want to be a good deal fitter for when I go to Spain in October.

you are probably right Katie, tell you tmro

well done Upahill.

I did hour PT today then went for 20 minute run....i hurt!!!

Did 45 mins treadmill and bike on harder levels, when i'd finished was as high as a kite. Is this the endorphin effect? If so, loving it.

How was the biking upahill?

Hi MABS am well impressed, have some sympathy for the pain.

pump and spin shortly,aarrrgghhh. Well done Katie

Having to take tonight off due to vast itchy sweat rash that has mutated over my body. The pharmacist gave me some cream and gently suggested talc for when it clears up. Talc? Really?

MABS You go girl !

ooooh , yuk that sounds rough Katie, poor thing. Did hour spin this am, very tough, missed start of pump class tho so will go tmro instead.

Lost 5lb this week yippee!

well done Katie! I did zumba today, loved it,pt tmro

I did hour pt earlier and then 45 min spin class, i bloody hurt! not losing weight at all, but think maybe toning a bit

MABS Sounds like you are toning a lot! One of the girls at work told me today that she can really notice the change in my shape. Walked about with a huge grin all day.

Off to the gym in an hour or so, DC's are having tea with their GP's so having child-free night till 8pm. Such a good day today.

Me too, upahill, me too. At one time size 8s were sometimes a bit big.

Watches thread with interest

I've dropped out of the loop abit with personal stuff going on.
However kids back at school tomorrow, I start a new job next week so I should be able to get back on track.

Going for another mountain bike ride tomorrow and will hopefully be at kettlebell training tomorrow night.

good to hear from you Upahill, well done katie

Well I went to Spinning class today for the first time
Hell's Bells, that was tough!!

Then went to Pilates afterwards (another first)

Cycling got cancelled this morning due to the high wind.

Having a night off tonight due to itch rash resurgence and shitty day combo. Going to have an early night and good book. Tomorrow is another day

Well done Upahill

nothing today :( work sadly, zumba and pt tomorrow

I'm going to so hurt after spinning tomorrow aren't I.
I can feel my arse tightnening now (owwwwwwwwwww!!)

yes you will hurt,but in a good way!

Well I am not aching!!
I fancied going again but can't fit in tonight with meetings and stuff.

I did some weight training though!

well done! i did zumba this am and pt this pm, spin tomorrow.

I've got my shifts for my new job next week and it's 9 - 5 all week which is a shame (and going to take some getting used to)

I was begining to like my day classes!

I have always worked erratic hours so hopefully in a few weeks I'll be back to doing that then I can get out on my mountain bike in the mornings again.

Posted to soon - hows the p t going?

What do you think of zumba? I keep putting off going.

i really loved Zumba, such a feel good uplifting class, honest! and the music is great, very fast latin american :)

My pt sessions are going really well (he is VERY fit ;-) which helps) not losing weight but did some measurements and losing inches all over so very chuffed.

Hi MABS and Katie,
How's it going.
I started a new job this week and it is going to be shifts but I'm just on days at the moment so not sure how I'm going to fit things in.
I've been cycling in but it is only a mile each way but it has been terribly windy and it is up hill half the way and down the other half!
