Gym attendance thread - who wants to join?

[Cam]

Went back to the gym after 8 weeks plus off for summer hols, did a step class and it nearly killed me. I'm aiming for the 3 times a week minimum because I must get fit again. Does anybody wnat to join me on this thread for mutual support and encouragement?

Hope all goes well with the teeth cam

Good luck with the teeth CAM.

The work, Mabs, is in a big office locally, minion civil servant role, is only a temporary 6 month contract but is a big to the system as I haven't worked outside of the home for 10 years.

Plus, I can't go to the gym as much I want to

Had the 2 wisdom teeth out yesterday afternoon, was in theatre but opted for local anaesthetic so saw/felt everything (although no pain, obv.). Never been awake in an operating theatre before, kept thinking about that programme "Bodies".

Can't complain too much as it was in private BUPA hospital so had an ensuite room to hang out in watching tv with dh, nice food, etc. Luckily no swelling today just taking antibiotics and anti-inflammatories and skiving off work

must be a shock to the system hun - the job and the teeth! Assume coming out to play to Pinnochio tmrow nt is out of the question...xxx

Wish I could but I'm rattling with various pills so better not - have a good time though

Hope to see you soon

Am a very lazy girl. Meant to go to the gym tonight (shoulder is better) but stayed in to eat chilli with DH and mnet. Shout at me that I have to go tomorrow.

HOPE YOU'RE GOING TODAY PASSIONFLOWER

I'm not, my teeth (or where my teeth were) are hurting

Arghhh...failed to go this weekend and today, am going wednesday morning definite. Have booked the creche.

as I am 4 months pg I will just stand at the side watching you all and cheering you on through the pain barrier whilst eating my king size snickers bar. is that ok?

I'm not quite as lazy as that post makes it sound. I had to ring round for an electrician this morning because our light switches blew up at the weekend. DH took one look and announced them highly dangerous. We are very lucky the house hasn't burned down.

Oops, now I'm making excuses .

haven't been swimming or to the gym in nearly two weeks have been staying up late for assignments and I'm just no good the next. Without a full 7-8 hrs sleep I can't speak properly let alone swim in a straight line.
Have a presentation friday so am just going to concentrate on that get it out the way and then get back into a more normal routine including some exercise.

Passionflowerinatree have you managed to get your electrics sorted out?

Hi all back on-line at last. Am getting a laptop all of my own for christmas, hurray!

Yep electrics all sorted, thanks.

Managed the gym wednesday (an hour)and friday (hour and half).

Have booked to have my workout looked at by an instructor as I have filled up my attendance card. Am going to gym for an hour and a half tomorrow. I'm back on track at last.

How are you all getting on, I have to admit I'm finding it a bit more diffecult to find the time for the gym at the moment.

CAM how are the teeth?

done 8 days out of the last 10!! soooo unlike me!

lol helsi

I'm going every 2 days at the mo

had a reassessment and am now using more interesting weight training equipment which is good as I was getting bored

been a couple of times since i last posted and just catching up before i go tonight... just havent got the inclination or drive at the moment, still cant leave dd2 in creche as she makes such a HUGE fuss.... very frustrating as can only go in evenings....

went to the gym while DD1 was at a party this afternoon. upped my time on the X-trainer to 30mins.

Helloooo everyone! The teeth are now back to normal , except I am 2 wisdom teeth down!

Have only managed 2 swims last week as had evening school play, evening office outing, etc!

Far from losing any weight since I started this thread, feel fatter instead. Oh well, Christmas can only make it worse but then there's the New Year resolutions so I can start again.

Hope you're all well

Hi all,

Glad the teeth are all better.

Just to update you I have been really virtuous and have a new updated routine. Am now doing:

5 mins rowing to warm up
20 mins running
20-30 mins X-trainer on random (level 7)
10 mins bike interval training (level 11)
Swiss ball for abs
and weights.

Also did a spinning class on Friday...

I hope you lot haven't slacked off for christmas. Report in please.

oooooo how impressive m'dear. Am still doing 4 or 5 times a peek and now i'm down to 9 stone and toning up nicely. It's harder with the kids around tho'

I'm a lucky girl, my sister is over for christmas so I have a daytime babysitter on tap. .

9 stone is fab. well done you, I still have 4 pounds to go to get to 9.8, my target.

Mabs, you skinny thing, well I cannot compete with any of you as I've just come back from 5 days in France. And I've got a cough.

went to gym yesterday after 5 day break ....OOOUUUUCH !

I am THINKING about it... how do you find the time? when I have put ds to bed at 7.30 how do I find the energy to drag myself into the cold, wet night to go and hammer the stairmaster??

I'm thinking of joining the gym but I'm gradually managing to talk myself out of it. I haven't been for over a year and the women who work there knew me when i was a size 10 over 12 years ago so I'm a bit embarassed really. They have a deal on until 31st dec. Its 99.00 for a year, including 1 step class a week, you can go as many times as you like and they have a sauna too.
