Didn't have popcorn, instead I spent an hour tidying up our little junk bedroom. Huge pile of stuff to go back in the loft, and actual room to put some of the crap treasured possessions from downstairs when we make room for the tree.

Another walk / train to work this morning and more shopping at lunchtime, I am gonna be sooo thin soon [deluded]Grin

after eating so good yesterday last night i consumed hot buttered toast and another cinnamon swirl Blush.. yor popcorn is virtious in comparison crisp BlushGrin

CrispyTheCrisp · 09/12/2010 14:03

Oh, just cooked in butter and liberally sprinkled in sugar Hmm. And was a huge salad bowl full Blush

Never mind, onwards and downwards.....

I ran 10k this morning (woo woo), the first time i reckon for at least six months. So, 10k, 10 mins powerplate and 700 calories lighter I left the gym Smile. Sadly i had forgotten to put my clean clothes in my back (bizarrely did have a clean pair of socks), so had to leave in my trakkie bottoms and sweatshirt going commando underneath Blush.
I then thought i would finish it off nicely by going to Tesco in that getup. Posh ere eh? NOT Grin

hots you will definitely be lighter. Rest assured. Good work on the walk Santa - that will be the cinnamon swirl banished Smile

santashappychick · 09/12/2010 14:57

woo hoo on your 10km run thats awesome,, tho lol at your shopping outfit Smile..

did 30km on bike in a last ditch attempt for good weigh in tom..but will be lucky to be even stevens.. we shall see we shall see Grin

FjorgynAndHotWater · 09/12/2010 21:50

PMSL at you in Tesco without any pants on crispy Grin

Good to see you have both come back from the brink with some magnificent exercise today, brilliant work Smile

I ended up eating seven Roses today BlushBlushBlush but have walked fairly briskly for about two hours and done 18 miles on my bike so have probably worked 'em off and a bit more too. Good job as it's time to make choc mousse for tomorrow and I'll not be able to resist licking the bowl clean Blush

Fingers crossed for a good weigh in the morning Smile

CrispyTheCrisp · 10/12/2010 07:53

Boo hoo. Even stevens but i guess i shouldn't be surprised. Still above my target range Sad

Hopefully you have all had good results this morning? Smile

FjorgynAndHotWater · 10/12/2010 08:15

An extra hour in bed this morning meant I could squeeze an extra wee in / out before weigh-in and am down 2.25 ShockGrin I am still nearly 2 stone above you crispy (12 6) but catching fast Wink

Sounds like you had a fun-filled week so breaking even is fine. Much better than a massive gain. Next week...

Good luck loti (that's my fave name for you!)

managed 20km on bike today as as dh out tonight i am going to body swerve the wine and try and eat some healthily treats.Hmm..

last night there was wine and peanuts and a bar of chocolate Blush BlushBlush

HippyChristmaspotamus · 11/12/2010 20:19

hiya santa :)
once ds is in bed, i'm going to dust off and crack open the wii fit

FjorgynAndHotWater · 11/12/2010 21:14

Hippy your DD is only three months old so take it easy Smile Remember the miracle of breastfeeding and maybe just eat every other piece of cake you fancy and the weight'll drop off Grin

Anyway the rules of HotMamas are to try and do 30 minutes of pulse-raising activity (an ExerSazz) on at least four different days per week, try and swerve cake, and weigh in is on Friday. That's it Smile

Well done loti on your exercise today. I had a similarly bad day to you yesterday and about to tuck into burger, chips and wine now, but have done my 12 miles today so feel OK about that. Hoping to miraculously lose 10lb in the next 36 hours though... Grin

OP posts:
HippyChristmaspotamus · 11/12/2010 22:18

lol, its ok, wii fit still covered in dust and in the box Blush

i'm less bothered about the weight and more concerned about my jelly belly but yes, i will take it easy!

oooh i'm liking the idea of an ExerSazz Grin and i never eat cake...unless i've baked it....and then it would be rude not to Wink

HippyChristmaspotamus · 11/12/2010 22:19

10lb in 36 hours sounds like a challenge and a half but i reckon the chips and wine will help Grin

FjorgynAndHotWater · 13/12/2010 08:05

Not too bad yesterday, busy baking and making saltdough with DD left no time for biking but didn't have too much food and am only up 1 today Shock

Here's to a good week and not too much cheese at cece's Grin

OP posts:
santashappychick · 13/12/2010 10:54

Biked 20km yesterday and 20 mins of star jumping/lunges/sit ups and dancing Blush

santashappychick · 13/12/2010 19:18

Did my 20km but have eaten my own body weight in cous cous and potato salad Blush

meet up ladies you are allowed today off Xmas Smile xx

FjorgynAndHotWater · 13/12/2010 21:53

Hey loti, we missed you Sad

Ate quite a lot of very yummy cheese and a couple of biscuits but much better than expected really. I've even done my 12 miles on the bike tonight Shock so have achy legs from that and achy arms from my first big drive for ages, so gonna curl up with a glass of wine now.

OP posts:
santashappychick · 14/12/2010 18:34

20km done and am shattered. Trying to be good on the food front but it's so so cold I keep eating to stay warm Smile

FjorgynAndHotWater · 14/12/2010 21:38

Have a nice cup of tea to warm you up loti!, or another bike ride. I just did 13 miles and am v sweaty now. Hoping this makes up for bacon butty at lunchtime Blush and it's work christmas party tomorrow afternoon so there will be mucho eating and drinking plus no chance for biking at night. Should have done 20 miles today...
