HotMamas - some thin, some fat, all HOT

[FjorgynAndHotWater]

Just been back to look and this is the fifth HotMama thread Fingers crossed we all are where we want to be by the end of this one...

I did Hots and I should be but one step at a time It is on the to do list for DH and I to get D in there in the mornings while L is at nursery because she'll be starting lessons in Aug but he has to heal first. I'm hoping that will give me enough confidence to go on my own at some point

well done on your biking! cycling is something he said I can do so maybe time to get on my bike too

Well done fjorn, still on target .

Bibi - when my knee was bad I would swim with a pull boy float between my knees so all power coming from the core/ upper body. I also cannot recommend pilates highly enough. A lot of physio's use it but you would need to make sure your instructor can adjust the exercises for you. We have a girl in our class recovering forms major car crash and she is doing brilliantly. Hopefully by loading and using your core would take some pressure off the hips. Hope MrB is feeling better soon too. Take care you lovely pair

Morning

well done all on some superb exercise yesterday

Fjor you are well on target

Crisptwo exersazzels in one day impressive as always, hope london trip goes ok!

Well done darling bibi,small steps lead to bigger steps

Cardio dvd completed.. but am well hacked off with the scales, they are continuing to go up not down despite healthy eating no treats or wine..

I have one of those that measures body fat and water/ yesterday in bf was 24% with 55% water.. today bf was 18.3% with water 60%.. considering chucking the scales out the window

Sazz - am not allowed to do yoga or pilates will double check all that with the physio when I see them but in the meantime will stay away. I love swimming but at the minute I'm having to try to make time for this and Curves is the most viable option for shifting weight. Hopefully when DH and I have a chance to chat about things I might manage some swimming at some point too.

Heading to the gym again at 4pm and was wolfing down the homemade soup at lunch time.

hope the gym went well bibi.

done cardio/fat burn and abs blaster...BORING

hoping to go to the gym tom will be so glad of the change!!

loti i did do 2 exersazz yesterday but shall only count one as i had one in the bag from Friday . Good food wise today as very busy and walked about 3 miles but in various tranches, so no exersazz. Should be good for circuits tomorrow and a run on Thurs. I could murder a glass of wine to relax from a rather unsatisfying day, but am managing to resist so far

bibi Hope you can get some sensible advice from the physio rather than them banning you from everything

LOTI those scales sound bonkers as conkers . Can you get a proper weigh and fat % at the gym? Oddly ours are doing a deal where you can get measured and then a free personal training session. I may take them up on their king offer once a few pounds have been shed. Well done on your DVD's and hope you get to the gym tomorrow

Hope you are furiously pedalling Hots

I was indeed furiously pedalling 14 miles tonight so 85/300. Did succumb to blueberry pancakes with maple syrup for afters but as tea was carb-free - chicken and salad - I'm hoping not too much damage was done. Have also done 2x school run and an hour in the garden so pretty good today exercise-wise.

loti stop looking at those measures on your scales I just looked up a table of body fat % and it said the healthy range is 21-33% so you have nothing to worry about and NOTHING to about, OK?

crispy sorry your day has not been what you wanted, but well done for not seeking solace in booze. Fingers crossed you get your circuits done tomorrow.

bibi yay for gym again [sweaty] Like crisp I hope the physio can give you some more useful advice on what exercise you can do.

On shift today so up to ice cakes before I go, then lots of sitting & then try for gym again at 4. Have a great day everyone xx

Been to the gym and did some rowing/cycling and cross trainer.. about 45mins and then some hard core sit ups {phew}

wearing my small jeans,cannot breathe but wearing them anyway .. my aim to make them fit a bit better and considering binning the scales completely

Yay re jeans loti I think it would be v sensible of you to bin the scales and concentrate on fititng your jeans better Sounds like you had a good gym visit too!

bibi I hope you managed not to lick the spoon

I agree with Fjorn LOTI, you have a lovely figure and i think feeling fab in a pair of jeans is better than beating yourself up over rubbish lying scales. Well done on the gym, although i am LOL'ing that you went on the bike - i would have thought you would have had enough of that

I have been to the gym, ran 1k as a warm up then an hour of circuits, followed by hauling DD2 round her swimming lesson.

Aching now

We are having pancakes for tea tonight but will have them as the whole meal rather than dessert

gym done but had to nick out to be home in time for A - so did my stretchs at home like a loon

managed to stay away from the naughty drawer at work which was a bonus on very long/boring early shift!

LOTI - my scales have given up the ghost too so shall chuck mine also!

Arse. Have drunk wine and eaten pancakes. Will go to bed now to avoid further misdemeanours

lol night Crisp

Oops crispy, never mind, you did have one night off the booze...

Well done for going to gym again bibi, and mucho respect for avoiding the treat drawer

I've done 13 miles tonight so am 98/300. Should have really done those last two to make it 100, but am running out of book I may have to take a look in some charity shops tomorrow and find another one or two to keep me going till I can get to the library next week.

hurrah on the biking/circuits and gym ladies

crisp a little wine never did anyone any harm

i have now been off the wine/pringles/peanuts for a week!! wish i could say its made a huge diffference but not yet!

gym again for me today, probably the stepper .. getting really bored of exercise so thinking of having the weekend off .. cannot remember the last time i did that

You cheeky moo fjorn

Am aching today after crazy circuits yesterday. Need to do one more exersazz this week so thinking of a gentle run or swim this avo. Followed by a rest in the sauna afterwards, obviously

Grrr for not making the last 2 miles fjorn and hope you can find something interesting at the gym loti - do they have any classes?

A gentle run? [oxymoron] Enjoy your sauna

loti if you have given up wine, crisps and peanuts I'm sure you can afford to have a couple of days off the dvds. Why not go for a lovely walk in the countryside instead?

Scales not looking promising for tomorrow, damn you weekend Will have to drink lotsandlotsandlots of water today.

Been to the gym was so not in the mood. did 40 mins on the threadmill a combination of fast walking on an incline and running ..my god i take my hat off to your crisp, running is damn hard work

i have banished the scales for a while so will not be weighing in tomorrow,will keepmy fingers crossed for you both...

crisp have a nice swim and a lovely sauna

fjor you are now our biking lady go girl!!!

We have the usual dancing/swimming lesson this weekend..might just do one of my dvds each day ..feel guilty if i do nought

Gym again after work today. Won't be able to go tomorrow dye to childcare but if it stops with the gale force winds D & I will walk instead :)

DD2 creche sorted, personal trainer phoning tonight, I am going to be in pain when he is done, aren't I?

Not sure, but i am in pain BBBB so you would be in good company . My right quad and glutes are both feeling the pain after circuits yesterday. So much so that i couldn't actually do any exercise today (and that is so NOT an excuse). So will have to settle for 3 exersazz this week. I have been extra good today with food though to compensate.

Well done on the gym BiBi and LOTI we shall all be fit bunnies for summer

Tis nice to have few people in here to chat and catch up on progress. Not that LOTI and Fjorn were boring me or 'owt

Good luck to tomorrows weighers and LOTI I do think you are sensible ditching the scales

Who's being a cheeky moo now????

Just getting my own back a little
