Thanks! I feel horrific, throat hurts, ears, neck, head. On 8 antibiotics a day so they best start working soon

Hope you feel better soon Professor and MrO . Must be something in the air, as I have had a cold as well these last couple of days.

Well done on the spin class Motherforkin. Not sure I could survive 30 minutes!

I see there is a new Girvan workout starting on 30th May Sophie. Looks like they are 30 minute workouts so will definitely look out for them. You're nearly at 100! Amazing job

Well done on hitting 80 days Professor

Thursday walk to/from work
Friday walk to/from work
Monday walk to/from work
Today 30 minute upper body with Sydney Cummings and a Get fit with Rick 80's workout 😁

Will have to take it easy with the weights as my upper arm is still giving me pain with certain exercises. It has been hanging around for ages now but I'm reluctant to go to the GP because I know they won't do anything about it. Will keep a note of which exercises bother it and try to restrict them for now. So annoying as arms are my favourite thing to work on.

Ouch for the tonsillitis, MrO. I hope you're feeling better soon. I've found propolis good for throat infections in the past. I had a bad bout of it a few years back. I asked the gp if he was sure, I'd had my tonsils out when i was 10! Seems the fuckers can grow back. Hope your cold doesn't get worse Roonetta and that you're fighting fit again soon Professor.

I am possibly newbie euphoric but I love the new gym. The focus of classes is brilliant for me. Ass and abs today.

Hello, covid has finally caught up with me. Caught it off DS who coughed all over me in the car (it didn't even occur to me he might have covid - thought cough was from playing sports in the wind and cold. Stupid me. I am usually sooooo careful with my mask wearing etc etc). He may as well have handed me a parcel of covid germs.

Feeling pretty rubbish and worse than I thought I would. DS was perfectly fine after a day and a half.

Hope you are all ok and those who are ill/ in pain will feel better soon

Hope you feel better soon Sophie . Dreaded kids and their germs 😒

Did a workout from someone I follow on Instagram today (Nathalie Hayward). Nice and gentle

Days exercised 80

Sorry to hear you've succumbed, Sophie. Hopefully it will be an easy dose dose for you.

My watch told me I was over training so I just did the dog walks yesterday. Abs and ass class today.

Days exercised 70

Spinning this morning.

Happy weekend everyone, hope all the illnesses are improving for you all

Days exercise 71

Bodyshred week 5 workout 6, first time. Not too bad apart from the jumping lunges - I absolutely cannot do those, I value having working knees. I've had a hideous week at work so exercise went out of the window. New cardio disc for the first time tomorrow, not looking forward to that - but then we're away on holiday for the first half of next week.

Days exercised 82.

I hope everyone who's been ill is on the mend. Everyone seems to be getting ill at the moment, on here and in RL.

I have a few more days of antibiotics but feeling much better. Going to try a class tomorrow

Glad you're ingrowing MrO, good luck with the class today. Are you off somewhere nice Professor?

I got a half hour in the sea this morning. it was so cold but gorgeous. Still can't swim properly but I was doing a doggy paddle/breast stroke hybrid which tied in some of my physio for the day too!

Days exercised 72.

Good to hear everyone is on the mend. Hope you are getting better too Sophie.

Always makes me smile to hear you have done a sea swim Motherforkin

I struggle with jumping lunges Professor. I injured my back doing them last year and haven't done them since.

Thursday and Friday walk to/from work
Today a Girvan hour-long full body workout

Days 83

Bodyshred week 5 cardio done - second cardio disc. On the bright side, I only have three more cardio sessions before I finish Bodyshred. On the gloomy side - everything else, it was awful. A ton of stuff in plank and a lot of jumping, though thankfully not the dreaded jumping lunges. (Is your back better now, roonetta?)

Three days off now - I'll be in Rome, really looking forward to it. Lots of lovely food and wine and no Jillian, though I might do a little light yoga in the evenings if I'm feeling virtuous.

Days exercised 83.

I'm not sure how "improving" changed to ingrowing in my last post. 😂

Sea swimming makes me smile too, Roonetta, although usually about 4 hours after I'm out and finally warm again!

Enjoy Rome, Professor, it sounds lovely.

Spinning this morning.

Days exercised 73.

Did a 30 min endurance class yesterday which felt good, will do similar tonight

Yes my back is fine now thanks Professor, but it was painful enough that I won't ever attempt them again. Have a fabulous time in Rome!

Did a Girvan 20 minute upper body workout before work today as it is half term and the kids were still in bed. Also walk to/from work.

Days exercised 84

Have a lovely time in Rome professor!!

I've not been very well at all. Was properly ill for a week and still positive after 10 days. I miss exercising but I still don't feel right. This morning I was incredibly dizzy when I woke up. Covid sucks.....

Ps "glad you're ingrowing...." made me laugh out loud MotherForkin 😆😆

Sorry you are still feeling rubbish Sophie . Keep taking it easy ❤️

Workout 1 of Girvan's Fuel done today. Reminded me of a Jillian workout with the added cardio segments.

Days exercised 85

Day off today as went for a haircut. The bike has developed a noise so they're sending a tech out to replace a part

Didn't feel dizzy today so decided to try exercise. Did iron day 26 (legs) with light weights. Feels so good to be exercising again! Can't face any running or jumping around though.

Days exercised 99

Glad to hear you are back at it Sophie

Hope the bike is sorted soon MrO.

Day 2 of Fuel done.

Days exercised 86

You couldn't make this up. I've woken up with tonsillitis again

I didn't realise you were doing Fuel Roonetta. (Probably didn't read properly). How is it? I get the impression (although I didn't look at any workouts yet) that it's a bit more cardio ? I've really really enjoyed iron. Hope to start Fuel next week.

Oh no Ollivander. What bad luck. Perhaps the antibiotics didn't work well and it just came back again? Wish you a speedy recovery

Having scrolled back, I see I definitely didn't read properly as you clearly mentioned fuel day 1. So like Jillian but more cardio? Intriguing ...!

I have different antibiotics after the GP peered at my throat again and rang haematology for advice
Gah
