Hagsnet - the crepey quiche

[saggarmakersbottomknocker]

Over here all you 40s and fading!

Sorry moondog.

Do it alone. It is not a spectator sport. Ds1 has his bedroom in the basement where the playroom is. I do it down there and he joins in shouting at me
"this is where we finish even stronger than before"
"this is easy for us, ain't nothing you can't do"

Dd on the other hand stands at the top of the stairs shouting "are you really ok mummy?"

But do it. You do feel dead ard after a while

Pag seriously legs stopped working......
So you have your own personal heckler! Lucky you (I think....) This DVD sounds scary....

Ruby - thanks and lol at shouting 'fuck off Jillian' :)

Well they worked but only with some considerable discomfort.
I had to work through the pain eventually but did a sort of shuffling "owww, owwww, owww" up the stairs.

I will adopt the fuck off Jillian technique . Sounds v helpful

How long will it take to drop a dress size sitting on the sofa, popping bubble wrap and shouting "Fuck of Jillian"?

Oh, errrr not much really if I'm honest. I can only cope with one thing at once at the moment and am trying to sort out my crepey breasts.
I have fashioned an implement made out of a foam offcut.

right. I am pulling myself together after the shock of reading the thread/recognising my inner hag/doing the looking down into a mirror thing.

I have dyed my hair to get rid of roots and am off for a run right now. Shred dvd sounds scary

Am about to go onto level 3 of the Shred. It has whittled down my sides and under rib area fantastically. but everything south of my 'waist' still looks like it's receiving a false message of lethargy. Will level three attack hip/outer thigh area? Or do I need to add in some matwork of my own after I've said 'fuck off Gillian'.

Big fat yay for argan oil: Friends at school followed me down the road yesterday, deciding it wasn't me because the hair was 'young person's hair'. Was so thrilled it almost made up for my cystitis and the burst pipe in dd's room.

Healing vibes to all the walking wounded.

What is this shred thing?

I am at a crucial and pivotal crux point where I give up or make unspeakable efforts. I did actually give up a few years back, but maybe it was a bit too soon. There were photos taken on my recent holiday that dd showed to my friends without my knowledge, where I may have been playing cricket in my cossie, and there were howls of laughter and insincere apologies.

Is it too late?

it doesn't want to. It wants to sit on a chair and turn spongy (ier)

The Shred is apparently an torture exercise regime with a woman who barks at you and makes you want to die...... (as I understand it - never seen it, but threads all over MN attesting to its cruelty brillance)

That isn't really very encouraging, bd.

I have been to the Dr's to talk about my hormones, apparently I'm not menopausal so have been put on the pill to regulate periods and stop me crying at Eastenders. I hope it works, as I'd feel less haglike.

Still no exercise from me this week, but I'll keep telling myself that I'm going to start tomorrow. .

Sorry to hear about the achilles tendon, kerry. Friend of mine snapped his recently and was in plaster from hip to ankle for weeks. Not a nice injury.

I quite like the idea of The Shred, especially if there is swearing involved. But can only do it if I can use the laptop, rather than the DVD player/telly (unless I close the curtains the whole wide world will be able to see me making an absolute arse of myself)

Hello. Can I be a Hag too? Spongey face. cat-lady hair. Reading glasses dangling from a chain in the chasm where a cleavage ought to be. bits of flesh inflating to the point where they are touching other bits of flesh that they oughtn't to be near.

Well, in his situation, running for the bus! Probably reflects his age (over 60) and lack of fitness - and taking off into a sprint from a standing start. Oh, and the fact that (being a bloke) he decided that he didn't need to go to A&E with it, but suffered over the weekend, before finally going to hospital!
