20km check, 100 sit up check... back in the saddle again.... Grin

CrispyTheCrisp · 01/11/2010 20:15

Welcome back AlBS, and i agree carrying toddlers up and down steps and walkways is indeed a workout Grin

Well done Enya, you put me to shame Blush. I have just been soooooooo shattered today i feel like going to bed but want to watch Masterchef so will hang on. No exercise today - sat in the sauna/steam room & jacuzzi for 40 mins as no energy to do anything else. Girls are also beyond tired so i think we need a quiet few days.

enyahadenough · 02/11/2010 07:59

take it easy crispy, i did no exercise what so ever for a full week and when i got back on my bike it was a nice change.. your body is telling you to rest to do it!!

Read an interestig article yesterday that said if you exercise hard for longer than 30 minutes, your thyroid starts to slow down and you stop burning fat!!! So it is official ladies only half an hour necessary to get the full burn Smile...

i guess you could do more that one session a day but i guess u would have to be an athlete or something to do that HmmGrinGrin

enyahadenough · 02/11/2010 17:07

20km on bike 100 sit ups and some quick Pilate moves all with the help of both dds Grin

enyahadenough · 03/11/2010 16:03

same as yesterday Smile... i am a one woman show here at the mo!!! where have you all gone Sad

CrispyTheCrisp · 03/11/2010 16:29

Sorry Enya - just busy and cream crackered. Where did i get to?
Yesterday walked 5 miles, today 5k run and 5 mins powerplate

4 exersazz completed already this week:
Fri: run
Sat: walk
Tues: Walk
Weds: run

Thanks for the 30 minute tip - i seem to manage to keep within that for my exercise sessions HmmGrin

I really want to get back into shredding because that was amazing for arm definition.

Huge, huge congrats about being back in the saddle Enya Smile

FjorgynAndHotWater · 03/11/2010 19:02

Sorry to have been awol too, last week took it's toll again and I was rather Blush

Trying to be good again and will get back on my bike tonight. Had another one of those staring at the wardrobe contents in despair mornings yesterday as all fat clothes gone but thinner clothes too tight now. What is it now, 7 weeks on Saturday to Christmas Day? Fuck.

Woo hoo crisp here is to a good loss come fri Grin

hots 7weeks is a looong time those thin clothes will be loose by then Smile good luck with the bike! Xx

CrispyTheCrisp · 03/11/2010 19:56

I doubt any loss at all Enya, as i have not really been controlling eating. Not really bad but not focussed dieting. I would be very happy with breakeven

Good luck on the bike Hots. Half term is over and you are back in the game Smile

FjorgynAndHotWater · 03/11/2010 20:52

Bloody DS got himself out of bed again he has had a second bottle full of milk and appears to be sleeping Hmm will have to give it 10 mins before I go up for a ride on my bike in case he wakes up again. Whose stupid idea was bunk beds eh???? mine

FjorgynAndHotWater · 03/11/2010 21:08

I've just bought my first Boden dress Shock have been on MN too long now Grin got it second hand on ebay and it's a 14 so will have to stop eating for a long while if it's too tight!

FjorgynAndHotWater · 03/11/2010 21:59

aDarkStarWithStrangeWays · 03/11/2010 22:12

Sounds like everyone is striving onwards and upwards :) I made another HotMama-friendly tea the other night that was very tasty, thought I'd post it here: Thai squash curry.

Crisp I want to start shredding again too, once this bloody chest infection clears off.

enyahadenough · 04/11/2010 07:11

i think i am definitely heading for a gain tom Blush.. have had really bad pmt for over a week and still no sign of AF so eating everything and everything in sight Blush... water and salad for me today.... not Grin

CrispyTheCrisp · 04/11/2010 10:34

Ooh delicious star - we have veggie friends over at the weekend so i may well try that Smile

Sneaky weigh this morning and am the same. hurrah! I was due on last week though so not brilliant, but ok

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/11/2010 08:38

Fell asleep putting DC to bed so felt too wonky to go on my bike. Ate quite a lot of cake yesterday too Blush So up 2 again but not surprising given the last two weeks

Not great hots 1/2lb up sigh now it's not a great deal and have not been great foodwise but have done four good exersazzels thinking need to up my game a bit [sigh]

CrispyTheCrisp · 05/11/2010 09:21

1lb up here too but i know i need to focus more on the food. I would like to lose a few pounds in the next few weeks so i have a bit of leeway for xmas

Fjorn - wish i knew what to do to give you the rocket you need Sad

enya Go easy on yourself - 1/2lb is fine Smile

FjorgynAndHotWater · 05/11/2010 18:22

Maybe it will be my new dress which I love but won't be able to wear in public because it makes me look fat 6 months pregnant Blush It totally does up though which I am rather relieved about. Seems I have put the entire stone back on my belly...

Let's have a reasonably healthy weekend and see where we go next week Grin
