It's only Tuesday! No Wine here

Hello everyone Smile

GetOrfMoiRing · 31/07/2012 16:51

BIWI how have you got on with the low carbing - are you going to be whippet thin by the end of September?

TeamGBIWI · 31/07/2012 16:53

Of course!

Am now 9 stone 11 - down a total of 22lbs since I started. Had a bit of a long-ish stall a few weeks ago, but things are moving again for me. I only have 10 days before I go away, and would love to lose a little bit more. But the gym is also definitely helping, and I've even got 2 bikinis to take with me!

TeamGBIWI · 31/07/2012 16:54

How are you doing? How is your kidney problem?

GetOrfMoiRing · 31/07/2012 16:58

You must be delighted to be in the 9s!

I was ill a few months ago, then got a lot, lot better, then ill again last week. Currently at home in pain, but I am on different drugs again, so hopefully these will work better.

I am fat now. Horrible thing with this - bloody steroids. I bloat and then lose a lot of weight then bloat again.

Sorry you're feeling bad Getorf, hope it gets better soon.

TeamGBIWI · 31/07/2012 17:07

That must be very dispiriting

BellaVita · 31/07/2012 17:22

Yay for bikinis BIWI. Tell me your gym regime please.

GOMR - hope you are feeling better soon.

Have had a stressful day, have felt the need to have a coffee with brandy in and cream on top.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 31/07/2012 17:42

she wearing a bikini to the do in September?

DancesWithWoolsEnPointe · 31/07/2012 17:46

She'd better

TeamGBIWI · 31/07/2012 17:47

Ha ha ha.

No.

HTH

GetOrfMoiRing · 31/07/2012 17:48

Dispiriting is the word but onwards and upwards.

Bella have that brandy coffee. That sounds marvellous.

GetOrfMoiRing · 31/07/2012 17:49

Are you not scared to go on holiday, knowing that it will be wall to wall cocktails and bread products?

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 31/07/2012 17:55

Going somewhere nice BIWI?

What a daft question, like you'd say " No, actually, going to a shit pit."

GetOrfMoiRing · 31/07/2012 17:56

She is taking two bikinis. She aint going to Scarborough. Envy

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 31/07/2012 17:56

Just being nosey!

BellaVita · 31/07/2012 17:58

My holiday always starts with naice salads... Then by the second day I think sod it! Bring it on!

I did enjoy the coffee GOMR. I feel rather flushed now Grin

BellaVita · 31/07/2012 17:59

I live not far from Scarborough Grin. If you ever go, pay a visit to the Harbour Cafe/Bar, tis the best ice cream parlour around.

TeamGBIWI · 31/07/2012 18:03

I'm not really thinking that far ahead, yet, GOMR! Maybe I should reserve the bikini-wearing for just week 1 though. Grin

Bella - my gym routine varies according to what my personal trainer deems is necessary to torture me with that day! I go twice a week for an hour with him, and try to go at least once on my own. Last week I went on Tuesday to see him, on Thursday, Saturday and yesterday on my own, and then went again for a PT session this morning.

This morning I did:

10 minute warm-up on the treadmill, starting at a speed of 5.5 and an incline of 10, rising to 15 by the end of the time period

Some circuit work - 20 seconds each of:

  • squats/jumps with dumb-bells
  • side-to-side bunny jumps
  • step ups with heavier dumb-bells
  • 'punching' with heavier dumb-bells
  • lunge and twists with dumb-bells
  • quad dips
  • squats, with swiss ball against the wall

repeated a second time

20 second interval training on the rower - 20 seconds as fast as possible, with a 10 second rest in between; 8 times (each 20 seconds resulting in a row of around 70-75m)

Some press-up type stuff on the TRX (feet in the rings, making a press-up, bringing knees into my chest and then extending my legs, then doing the same except swinging the knees to the right and then to the left)

Then the last 5 minutes on the bike, on random, level 8.

Other stuff I do with him includes other circuit work using the Vipr, stomach exercises (variations on sit ups, crunches and the plank), interval training on the bike (20 seconds as fast as possible, with a 10 second break, x 8; if he's really pushing me, more recently, that's been 30 seconds with a 30 second break, x 10), different fixed-weights or lifting weights, and the cross-trainer.

What I really enjoy about it apart from the fact that I'm training with a 23 year old man is the variety - no session is the same as the last.

TeamGBIWI · 31/07/2012 18:05

Barbados.

Here

GetOrfMoiRing · 31/07/2012 18:06

You have just posted that to make us all want to go and cry in our rooms didn't you. Sad Grin

I went to Barbados years ago, it is absolutely wonderful. Never seen such beautifully blue sea, I loved it. I hope you have a wonderful time.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 31/07/2012 18:06

That ain't no shit pit Grin

Envy
GetOrfMoiRing · 31/07/2012 18:07

She is camping in Westward Ho really. She told me.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I'm a bit excited about going. We've been to Barbados before, but always in a hotel/all-inclusive. It's a beautiful island.
