Not good to confess so much badness at the start of a new thread so I'll save that for next week Blush

I am going to the gym tomorrow

BibiBelle · 21/04/2011 21:06

I'm going for a weigh in tomorrow and shall restart the gym on Monday

FjorgynAndHotWater · 21/04/2011 21:24

I have been poorly for ages lame excuse and still full of snot but hoping to actually get on my bike tomorrow. Have been wearing the dress I bought which wasn't weddingy enough today and it looks lovely despite my varicose veins so that has made me happy Smile

For once I am down quite a bit since the start of the last thread and planning for the losing to continue...

well done Hots Smile

CrispyTheCrisp · 22/04/2011 06:57

Evens on last week at 10.6 which is good, but I generally lose weight when not doing masses of exercise, so I need to brace myself for gains once the holidays are over and I can resume my exercise regime.
Yay for the continued losses fjorn Smile

Day 3 Bibi - good luck for your weigh in Smile

luckoftheirish · 22/04/2011 08:01

oops Blush.. a brand new thread..

well done on being evens crispySmile

good luck bibi on ll and your weigh in today right behind you all the way Smile

hurrah on the dress fjorny Smile

absolutely no exercise at all Blush but also evens on last week phew.. i fear i may need to wait til school returns to get back into the swing of things Blush.. taking the dds swimming this am so hope to wade thru water alot ... oh and we finally got the trampoline which is amazing tho not so much for my pelvic floor Blush

BibiBelle · 22/04/2011 09:46

Today I'll be preparing food for DDs as DH away back to work Sad Shall try not to rip it out their hands [buwink]

FjorgynAndHotWater · 22/04/2011 10:16

My last statement not quite so true this morning as I imagined ShockBlush

The + I am will hopefully be due to bread/wine/gin water retention so not writing it down and stopping bread again; hoping to wee most of it out again by next Friday...

Yay for trampoline loti Grin We stayed with friends on Wednesday night who have one and they say it's the best thing they've ever bought their DDs so we may end up with one too over the summer Smile

Mucho respect loti and crispy on your evens weigh-ins. Back to school next week so we can all get back in our healthy routines

bibi you CAN do it!!!!!!!!

CrispyTheCrisp · 22/04/2011 15:27

How did you go Bibi?

Fjorn - are you going to confess to the quantum of the +??

I have done some triathlon training. 2.5k run in 12.5 mins and 10k bike in 20 mins. Plus a bit of powerplate and swimming with the girls for 40 mins

BibiBelle · 22/04/2011 15:37

wow Crisp that's amazing Shock well done.

I so wish we had a gym here with a creche Envy

-7lbs since Wed

CrispyTheCrisp · 22/04/2011 15:43

That's pretty amazing too Bibi Grin

The creche closed at 2 today so we just snuck in there. DH was not too keen on missing out on the sunshine but I feel good for it Smile. btw I see a gap in the Market up your way for a budding entrepreneur Wink

Friends arriving soon so I shall undo all the good work by sipping pimms in the sunshine

BibiBelle · 22/04/2011 15:47

I imagine it's all water retention and I'll be entering into the fat burning stage now. Still Smile Although there is someone on the LL thread bleating on about how it's another fad diet and doesn't work

BibiBelle · 24/04/2011 17:57

Day 5 and have fought the urge to kill the Easter Bunny and maim him for chocolate Grin

BibiBelle · 24/04/2011 22:59

Am I on my own again

CrispyTheCrisp · 25/04/2011 07:48

I am in denial hiding

You will find once the holidays are over we all appear like keen duracell bunnies. I suspect the fact that we are easily misled by holidays/visitors/days out/celebrations etc is the reason we are here in the first place BlushGrin

FjorgynAndHotWater · 25/04/2011 08:52

Been hiding here too Blush after a trip to the pub last night and mucho toast with butter/marmalade when I got home.

At least I got weighed this morning and am only up 5.5 since 8 April so considering most of that will be bread and beer I might come out the other side of the hols with only a small gain. Of course that may be due to my muscles having wasted away from lack of use...

bibi well done on the chocolate avoidance [impressed] hope it is going well with the LL stuff and the weight drops off quickly Smile

FjorgynAndHotWater · 25/04/2011 08:53

crispy Your suspicions are well founded as far as I am concerned BlushGrin

OP posts:
BibiBelle · 25/04/2011 12:07

now I want toast and butter Envy never mind the bacon butties that DH is making for himself and the girls for lunch

CrispyTheCrisp · 25/04/2011 17:11

I have just realised that I have not been as bad as i might have imagined

Exersazz so far:

Friday: 2.5k run, 10k cycle
Sun: 1.5hrs walking
Mon: 32 lengths swimming

Will try to do some school walks, circuits on Weds and maybe a gym session too Smile. Not too bad on the food front, other than Friday/Saturday which was shameful. Blush

Bibi- that must be so very hard Sad. Are you past the hunger stage yet?

BibiBelle · 25/04/2011 17:21

I was meant to get to the gym today but this helping friend with partner in hosp is spilling over into today/tomorrow.

Tesco shop was fun Hmm Was strong though and didn't sell my soul for a sausage roll!! This time tomorrow night I'll be on my way for my first weekly weigh in, I just have my cake decorating course to get through first [meep]

Crisp, well done on the Exersazz - veryimpressive Smile

CrispyTheCrisp · 25/04/2011 17:22

Wow Bibi, nearly a quarter of the way through already [majorly impressed emoticon]

BibiBelle · 25/04/2011 18:06

Thanks Blush my resolve is weakening though so thank goodness meeting is tomorrow night!

BibiBelle · 25/04/2011 21:56

Right am just back from my cake decorating class and managed not to stuff all 12 cakes in my face. Then again I don't like fruit cake or marzipan so don't heap on the praise too much Grin

CrispyTheCrisp · 25/04/2011 22:08

Weirdo. I don't really like cake that much but do love a good fruit cake. Nowt as weird as folk eh?

All the best for tomorrow - 12lbs i reckon Smile

CrispyTheCrisp · 26/04/2011 07:22

Calling all Duracell Bunnies. Come out now!!! Holidays are over.......

Post holiday weigh in of - evens. woo woo Grin. will wait and see what happens when I move back to 'full on' exercise.
