HotMamas - it's Hot and so are we

[FjorgynAndHotWater]

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

Great work Loti

I have decided to try and do the gym before work tomorrow. I reckon if i can drop DD2 off at 7am, i can get to the gym for 7.15, leave at 8.15 and be at work for 8.45. All a bit tight but i need to do it.........

I bet i'll be on here tomorrow saying i didn't make it

Morning [dedicated]

hope you are working up a sweat AAS

5k run and 5 mins powerplate. Got to work on time

hey guys, can I jump on the hotmama's thread? Need to lose 3.5 stone
have restarted on foodfocus and did an exercise dvd this morning.

Welcome qod and good luck!

I am off to the nike shop for trainers

Welcome qod

Well done AAS

Good luck with the shopping fjorny

Busy day here so only 40 mins on stepper.. Off to cheer dd1 at sports day

QoD, of course you can rejoin . Do you remember the rules? 4x 30 mins exercise per week to raise the heartrate and sensible food with the occasional treat. We all fail a bit now and then but it is jumping back on the treadmill/bike/stepper after those fails which means you can get towards your goal

Is 2.5 stone your pre baby weight or just a target you have selected?

Fjorn - i hope you find something and are walking on air when you come out

LOTI - i hope you have entered the mums race?

I am walking on nike air I wonder how long it will take me to actually run...

Hurrah! Do they feel fab? Which ones did you go for? Did you get tempted by loads of other paraphanalia (sp?) or was that just me

well I'm off to a good start I think AAS - did an hour long dvd today but did sit out a couple of bits as I didn't think split squats or lunges would agree with my still somewhat off-kilter pelvis.

3.5 stone loss would take me to a healthy bmi, instead of obese as I am right now I'm currently very slightly lighter than before pregnancy (about 4lb lighter)

Sorry QoD, not sure how i managed to convert 3.5 into 2.5 . Well done on being lighter than you started in pregnancy - that is a fab start . I managed to lose 4st in a year using Food Focus. That was fairly intense for 6 months and then i relaxed a little bit for a few weekends here and there and for holidays

Can i recommend you doing a pilates course to try and reset your body into alignment. It has done wonders for my back and i feel like i have a good posture now and suffer far less from aches and pains

Well done on the DVD - my shred is gathering dust

Well done qod

Woo hoo fjorny

Just did a 30 minute spin class dear god I think I am actually mad

ooh I ache today! I really am so unfit

I would love to do pilates AAS, but just don't have the money for it. I am a bit at the price.

Loti - call me dim, but I haven't got a clue what 'spin' is!

Ah, baby kicking off back later

QoD every time you move and ache feel proud that you got off your bum yesterday and did something

I have been rubbish no exercise for aaages but plenty of booze/cakes/biscuits/crisps etc etc . Have just ordered a shock-absorber bra off ebay to go with my new trainers so am nearly ready to go and have told you lot/everyone at work so there's no going back now...

Woo hoo fjorny when does the running commence?

Achy is good QOD spin is an intensive biking class, makes you sweat buckets

13 days to holidays eek so ramping it up 50.5km on ski machine in 1 hour and 2 mins.... Bring it on!!!

Woo hoo loti, atta girl You are going to look amazing in your bikini!

Puffing panting and going red thinking I'm gonna die running might start tomorrow if my bra comes, otherwise it'll be Saturday Am already eating as if I am running 5km per day so better get started sooner rather than later

Hope you get to run today fjorn

Only managed 35 mins on the stepper and 6 on the ski machine as had to dash to get to dd2 pre school graduation

Hoping to body balance tonight and will be playing with dd2 in the pool whilst dd1 has her lesson

Bra not arrived in the post yet loti so running will have to wait a bit longer thank god for the reprieve at least you are doing enough exercise for both of us!

Body balance done

Scales horrific this week so no hope for Tom

Who is Tom? is he a new member?

No exercise here. Just finished working now

Not sure if i will weigh tomorrow. I know i have to but am too worried about what it might say

I have done nothing but eat this week so scales gonna be grim here too This running lark had better be worth it... Fingers crossed I will have a go tomorrow as long as the scaffolding is delivered

+1.25 today so not as bad as expecting. Off swimming before work; does the new me start here????

-2 here, so back to 10.7 . managed 3 exersazz this week and have replaced evening meals with just picking. Not terribly healthy but it does seem to have limited my calorie intake.

Hope your bra comes soon Fjorn. Do you have a route planned? Glad your gain was limited and you are straight back in the pool . I might try and get to the gym today and hopefully on Sunday.

Morning

Have have been good with the food until last night when DH apppeared with curry but I am only eating until I am just feeling full rather than finishing it off regardless of fullness. No gym this week as it has been too manic! Have a Pt session at 12 then one tomorrow and Gym/swim on Sunday.
