WWW's six week 10 yy boot camp WEEK TWO of the Aug/Sept thread

Hello! This is week two of the SEVENTH WWW 10year younger boot camp of 2007

( how did that happen?)

Anyone can join, we promise it works and you will feel and look better - and maybe younger - if you follow these rules.

This is about being healthy and feeling and looking better as a resuklt. It's not a diet (although weight loss does seem to occur fairly frequently)

THE RULES ARE:

  • Sunscreen at all times, especially in this heat
  • No or little booze in the week. Wine at the weekend is allowed if you want it
  • Walking is important, a small amount every day if possible. 30 mins if you can. Many of us have an Omron pedometer
  • Lots of water, aim for 2 litres a day
  • Apply body cream as often as possible
  • Use hand cream/foot cream too, we recommend Flexitol, which is fantastic stuff
  • Go to bed early, by 10.30pm if pos
  • Eat healthily
  • Be happy

The idea is that at the end of six weeks we all feel happier, healthier and glow with the good food, sleep, exercise, water and lack of sun damage.

Anyone who feels like it, post how you've been feeling since doing this and why you want to keep doing it. Add what you want to achieve at the end of it too if you want to.

Here's mine:
I want to be a size I'm happier with by ds's tenth birthday, which is 2 months away. I want to not want to cry when I see the photos.

bootcamp appears to be deserted

Well I have had 6 weeks with a personal trainer and apparently i am more toned but have lost no weight at all and no inches so frankly i'm depressed lol
I'm stronger but that wasn't really the idea.
Fed up of merseyside.

Oh hidehi I was like that when I started running again. I couldn't believe that I was doing so much exercise and all I had to show for it was a higher bottom and much less cellulite. (how ungrateful I sound)!

But after 3 or 4 months of running I did start losing weight but quite slowly. I am really pleased at my improving fitness level though. .

lol at the picture Duchess

Hideehi, I understand your frustration. I have found that whilst exercise alone does not lose the weight whilst I been struggling over the summer with the healthy eating regime the exercise has stopped me gaining weight. Which has to be a plus

I am hoping that everyone is magically going to reappear on Monday and a shiny new thread will inspire us all. (And as Bamamama pointed out motivation may come from the fact that September means Christmas is looming )

Shiny new thread WILL APPEAR on Monday! Was only thinking about this this morning.

So make the most of it, from Monday it's SERIOUS!
