Improving The Body

[smileyragdoll]

I have been faffing under the pretence of researching. i cant possibley buy any more books now am commiting myself

Have decided to revise my lifestyle and pick out the bits from various books i've been reading

1. To get rid of my post pregnancy pouch ( not that i had a six pack before) I am also going to start a pilates class in January

2. Try and increase my energy, i have visions of not being able to keep up with my ds once he starts moving i think i have about a four month headstart hes 5 months at the moment, so healthy eating and less SUGAR

3. Try and drink more water.

anyone want to join me? we can support each other on-line?

cheers

okay so whats your plan for exercise today wsk?

Ummm.....do some? Lol, if it's dry (unlikely) I'll take dd out for a long walk. If not I've found a really good set of exercises in a mag to do, apparently they're what Keira Knightley uses to stay slim and fit - wouldn't mind looking like her!!!

long walk with dd sounds good - make sure you do more than a 10 mins amble though needs to be a good brisk one! my usual trick is i'll go for a walk oh dear is cold lets go home son, have yo got one those pedometer things yto count steps?

Yep, have got a pedometer but don't usually use it round the house because it can't measure all the exercise I'm doing picking dd up, putting her down over and over again etc!!! But will use it if I go for a walk. Usually do about 30 mins brisk walking (ambling annoys the hell out of me!).

okay then i'll try and find out my pedometer

are you up for a challenge?,
i know when i was wearing it i did about 6000 steps on average and 9000 when i made to effort why dont we wear it today and take a baseline then we see where we are and then try and challenge ourselves i reckon this we can fit in with other stuff we have to do ?

have you had water today?

Definitely - that sounds good. There was a pedometer challenge on here a while ago but I only got one halfway through and by then I couldn't be arsed . Have had one glass of water, just off to get another one. Thought I'd hate all this water stuff and still don't like drinking it but am already feeling 'fresher' in the last couple of days.

i'm feeling better as well and i havent even been doing it properly, just having my second glass.
Now if you and any other lurkers out there give up on me i'll have to come and SLAP YOU, just think we are going to have great bods for when the sun comes out late in the year

Thanks srd - I'm determined to get to 9.5 st by the time summer comes. Have just finished my 2nd glass of water - feeling a bit sick but its good for me. Also have to get over my thing of not having brekkie and snacking later so am sitting here forcing myself to eat a banana

sounds like a good plan to have brekkie better than morning binge later or try yogurt i like that for brekkie somethimes and tinned peach slices?
Right in a few mins am off to do chores etc house to get in order post holiday mess to sort etc etc, and steps to accumulate on my pedometer curtesy of the BBC fat nation people and a bit of yoga to do. take care all

God you sound organised!! Am going to let myself sit here until dd finishes brekkie and then get going, dig out my pedometer and try and get the figure up to a few thousand. See you later

am flagging this morning need motivation, am sitting here with coffee and slice of xmas cake.

Awww, how did you go this morning? Just imagine yourself thin and svelte and think how that'll never happen unless you eat healthily and drink all your water!!!

(btw, yesterday i did my pedometer thing, was just over 8000 steps)

So, how are you doing srd? I;'ve done badly on the choccie front but managed 10 glasses of water yesterday (!!!!) and think i look a bit better for it. Had a really active day yesterday but only managed 9000 steps, starting to think there's something wrong there!!!

not good wont bore you with details of yesterday but feeling more positive today. just had a glass of water thanks for reminder.

well yesterday did 4722, felt like more! is is 10,000 to aim for each day?

Right after a few crap days wont bore anyone am feeling back on track, 10,ooo steps and 8 glasses of water to go, how everyone doing?

Smileyragdoll - wow! somebody else eats xmas cake for breakfast - fantastic!

Sorry - thought it was just me! feel less guilty now.

and good ness know what you really dont want to know, i can be a serious pig when it comes to food!
I also can be a complete health freak a bit of a jekyl and hyde over here am hoping to have a carrot and celery juice today to balance out teh badstuff.

It's supposed to be 10,000 steps at least each day!!!!

Oh well, am being sort of good on the food front.

AT LEAST??????????????

well i suppose thats go to be our aim then i'm going to pull out all the stops today and walk to the library am going to getmy 10,000 steps how about everyone else?

Yep, 10,000 is what everyone's supposed to be doing apparently!! I can only get mine up to that if i go for a long walk AND do silly dancing with dd AND rush round the house a lot!!!!

bring on the silly dancing for me then at least ds will be entertained, hows the water going i've had one so far on my second now

The past few days I've managed at least 9 a day but I haven't had any today yet so am off to get one. But god, all that water seems to be doing my skin the world of good!!!

Ok, one glass downed and nearly through the second!
