Are you feeling better, Pawpaws?

NC slightly - I've been off work sick all week and am still feeling grotty. At that point where I'm well enough to work provided I have tissues and throat sweets Itching to get back on the bike!

Hello new name sounds like you have a miserable dose. I hope you're feeling better soon.

I had a migraine for the last few days so I did nothing. Had a short hill run after school drop off. It was gorgeous at the top, over the foggy morning.

Days exercised 39.

"I’m also struggling with diet, roonetta. I need to lose a few pounds - just vanity, and to make my waistbands a bit more comfortable, rather than health - and I obviously don’t want to lose them enough because I fall off the wagon every time I have dinner with friends and every weekend. I love food, that’s the trouble"

I could have written this exact post Professor. It's so hard. I am trying to focus on health and strength rather than weight loss, but it is a real struggle

Hope all is okay Sophie xx

That view is stunning Motherforkin. That might even motivate me to run!

Hope you are on the mend MrOllivander

Walk to/from work Thursday, Friday and today

Also welcome back Oubliette!

Trying to avoid losing motivation. Just a short abs DVD this evening: 6W6P L1 (34 min)

Days exercised: 35

Hi everyone and welcome back oubliette! You've all been busy.

Finished off endgame day 43 (glutes and hamstrings) and then did day 44 (full body and pretty tough).

Days exercised 61

Yay you've passed the 60 mark Sophie well done!

Girvan upper body workout done.

Days exercised 47

Thanks Roonetta. You're almost at 50!!

EMOM today. Was tough. Glad it's over. Also did her lower abs workout from the Christmas series.

Days exercised 62

Girvan chest and triceps done

Days exercised 48

Going to attempt the bike tonight
Still full of snot and clearing my throat a lot but feel more human

New PB on the bike! Connected my new HR monitor too

Ooops - unplanned rest day yesterday (due to work being crazy). Back to it this evening. KB&T L1 (40 min)

Days exercised: 36

RI30 L2D5 done. Which means I can move on and say goodbye to the plank cardio. Rest day tomorrow (out drinking after work with ex-colleagues), will start L3 on Friday.

Well done MrOllivander! We're all doing well - through the first quarter of the year and still here and working to our targets.

Days exercised 51.

Well done on the PB Ollivander. Hope you enjoyed your rest day and your drinks professor.

Endgame day 46 today. Upper body.

Days exercised 63

Another PB
Added the pic of the classes I'm doing tomorrow

You're doing amazingly when you're under the weather, MrO.

I had a very disjointed day today but did 2x3km walks rather than nothing which was my preference

Days exercised 40

You're on fire Mr Ollivander!! 🔥

How is the shoulder doing MotherForkin?

Did endgame day 47 today. All Bulgarian lunges. I was dreading this but actually it wasn't as bad as I thought. It was still really tough but it passed fairly quickly (thank goodness) and there were quite long rest periods (1 minute work, 30 seconds rest).

My whole body feels sore (despite having had 4 days off over last weekend) so tomorrow is a rest day for sure.

Days exercised 64

Stacked rides done
PB on all 3
Really enjoyed the low impact one, he's a pro cyclist and does form/drills so learning how to activate hamstrings, one leg pedalling etc
Signed up to strava now

Congratulations, MrOllivander!

RI30 L3D1 done, in spite of a hangover from yesterday evening. Sophie, that just sounds horrendous, no way am I going anywhere near Girvan!

Days exercised 52.

Impressive MrOllivander! You are killing it

That sounds horrible Sophie. I am not very good at Bulgarian lunges, I am always shifting position to get comfortable and the set comes to an end with me having done about 3 . You're almost at the end of Endgame! I see she is making an announcement on 4th April; hopefully it's more shorter workouts.

Walk to/from work Thursday and Friday. We are replacing the fencing this weekend so that will be a workout in itself.

Days exercised 49

Shoulder is annoying but OK, Sophie. I've a lot of physio exercises to do to stabilise the joint and I'm allowed do minimal weight bearing so I put some cat/cow and bird/dog into my core and legs thing this morning. And I did a 30 min run. We booked our holiday earlier in the week so I really have to get my act together!

Days exercised 41

And I forgot I changed my user name

RI30 L3D2 done. This is another annoying one with the toughest circuit (all shoulders and triceps, and mine are feeble) at the end. I infinitely prefer getting the worst out of the way at the beginning.

OstrichFeathers, good luck with the physio - hope it begins to have some effect soon. And roonetta, good luck with the fence. I am not competent to do anything of the kind, any fence I put up would blow down in the slightest breeze.

Days exercised 53.

RI30 L3D3 done. No more Jillian for me for a while, we're on a plane this evening (to Portugal, where it's raining) and I'm not dedicated enough to take her with me!

Days exercised 54.

Enjoy your holiday professor and hope the sun comes out!

Good luck with the shoulder ostrich. Yes Roonetta, I saw girvan has something tomorrow. Curious too but also want to do more running.

Endgame day 48 push ups and abs today. Had to modify the push up part a lot and did most as incline push ups or on knees and certainly didn't do the finisher (just did what I could in the time it took her to do her 100 push ups).
