Good to hear the move is over MotherForkin and hope the unpacking goes smoothly.

Well done on getting the workout done Roonetta and well done to your kids for letting you!! I find it very hard to exercise once they're home from school.

Yesterday did epic 3 day 5 HIIT - hard, lots of burpees - and this morning day 6 (biceps, back and core). Suspect tomorrow will be a rest day.

Days exercised 192

I finally exercised again this evening after far too many rest days. 6W6P L2 D14 (30 min)

(163/87; 159h 35min)

Well done ploughing on with Epic 3 Sophie. I think I’ll do a Girvan workout tomorrow as I can’t lift very heavy with Jillian and don’t want to lose the progress I made.

BR workout 5 and 2 mile WWL done

Days exercised 165

I had enough motivation to double up for the first time in ages. Hooray! Ri30 L2D18 & KAbs L1D14 (65 min)

(164/86; 160h 40min)

Epic 3 day 7 lower body complexes. I really struggled with this. Not sure if my weights were too heavy (did change to lighter ones though) or whether it was because I ate breakfast beforehand (normally eat afterwards) or whether it was just really hard (or a combo of all of those!!). It was a relief to get to the end!

Glad to hear you're more motivated oubliette!

Hope you enjoy girvan Roonetta!

Run this morning...after two unplanned rest days 🤦🏻‍♀️

Well done on the double Oubliette!

I am in a Caroline Girvan Facebook group Sophie and everyone has said how hard workout 7 has been, so you are definitely not alone. Well done for completing it

Glad you managed to get a run in Motherforkin

Epic Heat workout 32 and a 2 mile WWL done.

Days exercised 166

BR workout 6 and 2 mile WWL done ✅

Days exercised 167

Day off yesterday and today E3 D8 (shoulders, chests and triceps) plus a short lilly sabri lower abs workout. I'm away this weekend so no exercise again until Monday.

Yes I also joined that group Roonetta. It's quite interesting.

Days exercised 194

Dd is doing a cycling awareness course at school today in the lashing rain so we started the day on the bikes for the school run. I keep threatening to do to more often but bloody hell it's stressful. I did my hill run to calm myself after it 😊

Happy weekend everyone.

I had an unplanned rest day on Wednesday (ill teenager hogging the tv). But I did actually exercise yesterday. KAbs L2D14 & Ri30 L2D19 (65 min)

(165/85; 161h 45min)

Ri30 L2D20 (35 min)

(166/84; 162h 20min)

Turns out there's an option to do my 10k this weekend as 2x5km thank god so I did my first this morning.

Hope the sick teen is on the mend, Oubliette.

The sick teen is now absolutely fine @MotherForkinShirtBalls (she only had a cold - she’d just forgotten what that was like)!

Glad she's OK again,Oubliette. It will be weird being back to everyday illnesses.

Did my second 5k so I feel like I sort of earned my medal. Which I think is somewhere in a packing box. And I finally got my shoulder mri today so fingers crossed I'll have the report from that in the next few days and I'll know what's actually wrong with it.

Good luck for MRI MotherForkin 🍀

Epic 3 day 9 full body.

Days exercised 195

Glad the sick teen is ok now Oubliette. We’ve had a run of sickness here, with both DC being off school already with a rotten cold (not COVID thank god) and now I’ve caught it. I know what you mean about forgetting what a cold feels like.

Great news about the MRI Motherforkin. Hopefully only a matter of time before you have answers.

Well done with Epic 3 Sophie. I haven’t attempted any of them yet. I can’t seem to find the time at the moment and haven’t exercised since last Thursday . I am really cross with myself and think it will only get harder once I have to be back in the office three days a week. I did walk two miles to and from work today so that’s something at least. Will get back to it tomorrow, cold permitting.

Hope you feel better soon Roonetta ** and hope you can find a way to schedule in exercise. Perhaps do epic heat with shorter workouts? Epic 3 workouts are a bit longer (but not as long as the epic 2 ones I believe).

Epic 3 day 10 today. Tabata HIIT. this was intense.... plus a 10 mins girvan abs workout.

Days exercised 196

Thanks Sophie. I am not feeling too bad today - I think the kids got the worst of it. Epic Heat might be a good call. I don't know what my excuse is at the weekend, but I just haven't been able to motivate myself to do anything for the last few weeks

Managed BR workout 7 and 2 mile WWL today.

Days exercised 168

Oops. Far too many rest days (again). A combination of university open days and sixth form open evenings. Bloody teenagers!

Anyway, I did a cardio circuit this evening. BFBM (50 min)

(167/83; 163h 10min)

Very exciting times Oubliette. Glad you're feeling better Roonetta. Work is a bit mad this week so I missed last night and I just about managed a walk round the park while dd was at football this evening.

Good luck with all the uni stuff oubliette!

Epic 3 day 11 quads and calves. Ouch.... and her taste in music taste is definitely getting worse. .... plus a short lilly sabri lower abs workout.

Days exercised 197

I ended up getting used to the music in Epic 1 and 2 and missed it in Epic Heat Sophie. I used to hate it too and it grew on me. It’s a shame she hasn’t got some of the familiar ones in 3. Hope your quads and calves are okay!

BR workout 8 and a 3 mile WWL to burn off the ridiculous amount of calories I ate today . I am blaming it on the cooler weather.

Days exercised 169

Early run this morning. It's frustrating that it never seems to get easier.
