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

The last time I managed such a quick weight loss was July 2009

Oh, have already been swimming this morning so 1x exersazz for the week so far

Well done on your -1 fjorny and anything is possible in 3 weeks

Sazz that really isn't too bad, you relaxed and enjoyed yourself on hols and once you get back into the swing of things the weight will fall off I think I remember you losing 7lbs in one week after your holiday last year

I am stil 1.5 up from pre holiday weigh in but exercise starts in earnest with core stability on monday night dd2 back at pre school on Wednesday so hoping this time nxt week to be fully back on track

Been running again, 2 lots of 1 mile with a 4 minute walk in the middle. Did both miles in just over 11 minutes so got plenty of speeding up to do! Bizarrely my knee felt dodgy in the middle walk but is fine now

sazz is there anything I should do/not do to strengthen my ageing joints? Think I do need new trainers as I tend to run on the inside of my feet so this could be sending my legs out of line.

Anyway, exercise done, time for gin and pringles

not that you have ageing joints dear, before you get all and on me , but you do a lot of running...

Up 2.5 over the weekend so not too bad and trying to be good today

I can't believe you need new trainers already . Really? Mine are barely worn in. Now i know i mainly ponce about on a treadmill and not roughing it over rocks and the like, but that doesn't sound right.

I use something like these in my trainers (you replace the original insoles)]]. I think it was suggested i used them after my knee op, and fingers x'd they seem to do the trick.

The other thing i think really helps is using the powerplate to stretch once i have run (hamstrings, calves and quads) and also doing pilates to keep everything aligned.

Today i have run 5k, cycled 12k and swum 500m . I have decided that i HAVE to focus on the food as this will be the key to eliminating the excess poundage.

My goal is to be back to 10 stone before Xmas. I have a 40th party on the 28 Dec with loads of Uni mates going. The last time i saw a number of them i had got down to 12 stone but many have not seen me at 10 stone, so would be good to show off what i know i can achieve. So, 14lbs in c.14 weeks. Eek, i shall need your support, bullying and general kick up the arse, so please don't let me get away with any crap excuses nor commiserate over bad weeks. Thankyou.

No they're not worn out at all, I just think if I am going to carry on running i need to get my gait properly analysed and get some shoes from that. can definitely feel that i run on the inside edge of my feet which can't be too good

well done on all your exercise today! I have managed a walk to school and back but that's all.

Ham salad for lunch, steak & salad for dinner with 2 small new potatoes. 2 litres of water drunk.

I am aiming for grapefruit breakfast as DD1 and I are out for lunch tomorrow. She wants Pizza Hut which will be ok if i can stick to the salad bar, but I might try and persuade her somewhere with slightly fewer temptations

New regime i think will be as follows:

Mon: 1hr - run/cycle plus short swim before/during DD2's lesson
Tues: Pilates
Weds: 1hr Circuits and maybe Spin after
Thurs: Gym if not working or shred at home if working
Weekend: gym/and or swimming with the girls

Ooh - i forgot, Thursday night is tennis as well, so not too much of an issue if i miss out during the day

You've only been back a few days and are putting me to shame already!!!

Eek well done sazz and that sounds impressive

Well done on the run fjorny

Managed core stability tonight and ow ow ow

Rest of this week....

Wednesday gym/ body balance
Thursday spin/ boxercise
Friday body vibe
Sat gym
Sunday rest

I am a bit like a firework though - all impressive and flashy for a few seconds followed by a rather limp fall to the ground

DD1 chose Pizza Hut for her lunch out treat . I managed to swerve all pizza, pasta & garlic bread and just had a salad bowl with 2 breadsticks & no dressing

No exercise yet, unless i can persuade the girls to shred.

Well done sazz on a healthy lunch. I had leftover chicken with a bit of cheese and some of my homemade chilli apple jelly (which is fabulous) so very Atkins

Been out running tonight, 2.25 miles in 28 minutes without stopping bloody broken now though, think I need a cuppa...

will have a look at getting some of those insole things, looks good thanks.

Woo hoo. Well done Fjorn. Go Girl. sorry to hear you fecked your knee though

I have been very good and had a grilled corn on the cob for tea with a small amount of savoury mince. No potato/bread etc. I am trying to remind myself all the time that the food is more important than the exercise.

I may go to the gym tomorrow as not off to London now which is a result. My aim is to try to go at 7am after dropping the girls off. We shall see whether that actually happens or not

Thank you for the sympathy matey but was just being melodramatic not really broken just red, hot, sweaty and knackered knee does still feel a bit weak but seems OK, well I have run for 28 minutes tonight (still can't believe it!) and can still walk so that is a result in my book

Your tea sounds very healthy not like my sausage pasta I'm sure the weight will drop back off again quickly. I am off to work and have a bag of fruit so should be able to swerve biscuits. Once I count up all the walking to the smoking garden that should be a good mile walk too...

Well done fjorny 28 minutes is fantastic

Hope you make it to the gym sazz

I have not been v good foodwise I am just snacking snacking snacking but not eating lots iykwim???

Anyway I to hope to make the gym this am and have body balance tonight with my gym buddy

I am at the gym. Not 7am you will note, but I am here.....

Very impressive sazz even if it wasn't at 7am.

loti hope you make it too this morning

No exercise planned today, you guys are making me feel a bit guilty

5.5k run, 1k hand bike, 12k cycle and 5 mins powerplate

Sorry, am feeling like stuffing my face, so I am repeating my mantra on here whilst the soup is defrosting......

Lol sazz I am the same tho trying to wait for dd2 and feed here before stuffing my face

Did stepper, bike and ski machine... A hour in total and cannot believe how bad my fitness levels have become 2ls of water drunk but still look like this

I keep having to remind myself that it is FAR, FAR easier not to eat those extra 500 calories than to have to go and burn them off.....

Well done on your hour LOTI. It feels good now doesn't it but mine was a chore all the way through too

I really must shred as my arms and tummy could do with some assistance
