Oh no, MsO, that's awful to be sick again and so painful with a breast abscess. I hope the antibiotics kick in soon. I had co-amoxiclav once and remember it being very hard on the stomach. Mind yourself

Getting ahead of yourself is very easy, waterbottles! Hopefully it's just doms you're feeling and not an injury?

I haven't been feeling great so taken a couple of easier days. I went to the pool for a muck around with ds today and managed one length before my shoulder got sore. Better than a month ago but slow progress to get back to my 1k swims at this rate 😂

Bodyshred week 8 workout 7, first time (that was actually yesterday but I couldn’t get the post to load). MotherForkin, there are six kinds of push-ups- bow and arrow, diamond, Jack Lelane, pike, chaturanga with an up-dog, and scorpion alternating with grasshopper.

No exercise today as I was away at a work thing and have only just got home.

Days exercised 97.

Oh no Ollie. What bad luck. ** Really hope you feel better soon are you taking probiotics with the antibiotics? They always insist on probiotics here with antibiotics but I don't know how it is with that in UK.

Glad you're feeling better now hotwaterbottle. I guess we all have to build up slowly.

And get well wishes to you too MotherForkin and for the shoulder

Never even heard of a bow and arrow push up or a Jack Lelane push up professor!! Scorpion sounds vaguely familiar. I must Google!!

Had a day off yesterday and Fuel day 14 today. Full body (but of course no abs!) tempo. Quite a nice workout.

Days exercised 119

@SophieLion I am! I bought some to take

So sorry to hear that MsO. That sounds painful. Hope the antibiotics work soon

Hope you're feeling better Motherforkin

You convinced me to start Iron with the 30 minute workouts Sophie so I did day 1 today. Will park Fuel for now but might go back to it. I liked today's workout as I managed to keep up and it didn't feel like I was having a panic attack at the end

Days exercised 97

I've just tried to ease back in with a beginner ride
It was labelled wrong (8.5/10 difficulty) and I got a PR by 13

Hope the antibiotics are working, MsO. Well done on the ride!

Bodyshred week 8 workout 8, first time- once more through each workout and I’ve finished. I’m out with a colleague tomorrow evening so need to do Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to get it done in June.

Days exercised 98.

Sorry forgot to answer questions.

Roonetta I'm doing strength and cardio at the gym. I had surgery just under 6 months ago and have had to relearn to walk so I'm not doing bad considering. But I over do it easily and need to stop that.

Was meant to go to the gym tonight, but I had a pretty active day today and I decided not to as that would be over doing it. I am learning! 😂

MotherForkinShirtBalls half and half really I guess if you meant soreness I think? I feel a bit sore when I do too much but resting even for 5 mins helps. I over did it on Friday and felt sick, but felt fine 10mins later.

Glad you enjoyed iron Roonetta. And well done on getting back to the exercise Ollie. Glad you're feeling a bit better.

Fuel day 15. Dumbells and burpee HIIT. This was not nice and was VERY pleased when it was over.

Days exercised 120

Ps professor - I looked up Jack lelane push up. No words... looked totally impossible

I'm going to start adding some core and strength in... wish me luck

Good luck MsO! I have no doubt you will do anything you put your mind to.

😬think i'll avoid day 15 of Fuel then Sophie

Today day 2 Iron - upper body. Also walk to/from work yesterday.

Got some 10kg dumbbells arriving today. Hope I haven't overestimated my strength! 😁

Days exercised 99

Still feeling under the weather but I got to the gym for 30 mins on the cross trainer and some half hearted core work. Booked into a class tomorrow to do something a bit more useful.

Days exercised 86

Did a 30 min power zone endurance class last night and a 15 min hip stretch

Tonight is a 15 min barre class and 20 min full body stretch (funeral tomorrow and I won't have much time tonight)

Almost at 100 Roonetta!!! I'm sure you'll manage just fine with the 10kg weights. A challenge is good. Plus iron is great for increasing strength. Good luck 🍀

Sending you my condolences and strength for tomorrow Ollie 💐

Went back and did fuel day 11 (legs - not bad as quite varied and seemed to target everywhere) so finished week 3 now.

Days exercised 121

And hope you feel 100% soon motherforkin

Bodyshred week 8 workout 7, second time. Got nearly to the end and realised it should have been cardio night, dammit. Will do workout 8 and then wrap up with the cardio.

for tomorrow, MsO. Hope it goes well.

Hope you're fully recovered soon, MotherForkin.

Days exercised 99.

for today MsO xxx

5km fartlek run (really tough and soooo happy when it was over) and a short girvan abs workout.

Days exercised 122

Iron day 3 glutes done (using new weight) 😊

Days exercised 100

Hope you're getting through today MsO.

I'm still not feeling great, mostly just wiped out but I decided to try a proper swim at lunchtime. Lo and behold, I could do it! My shoulder niggled a bit and I only did 500m but it felt so good. Fingers crossed I'm finally getting to the other side of this shoulder nonsense.

Well done on hitting 100 Roonetta!

days exercised 87

Another gym session done, hip still won't let me go back on the cross trainer but I'm doing more cycling instead. Damn hip needs to stop, it was fine for the first 4 times

Bravo on 100 days Roonetta! 👏🏻🎉

Did two of the Christmas workouts for upper body: one upper body and one for triceps.

Days exercised 123

Thanks ladies

I'm so glad to hear your shoulder problems are on the way out Motherforkin. Hope you are feeling a little less tired soon

Sorry to hear your hip is playing up waterbottles. Injuries are so frustrating when we just want to keep going

Walk to/from work

Days exercised 101

Bodyshred week 8 workout 8 done, second time. I haven’t quite finished as I hoped - still need to do the cardio disc one more time- but it’s been a horrendous week at work, plus the school concert, so I’m cutting myself some slack.

Days exercised 100 (and I see roonetta has beaten me to it - congratulations!).
