First spinning class in 7 weeks god it was brutal!!

SazZaVoom · 08/09/2011 18:22

walked 2.5 miles for school run. Not great but better than nowt and have only had grapefruit for brekker and egg salad for lunch.

Jeans still feel very tight though Hmm so not expecting great loss tomorrow...

luckoftheirish · 08/09/2011 19:17

Oh you two haven't seen jeans overhang till you've seen mine Grin or should that be Blush?

Just back from running, sort of managed 2.5 miles in 29.40 but had to stop 3 times as legs like lead. Stopped for probably 1 minute altogether so getting faster, another 1/4 mile more than Tuesday but only 40 seconds longer! Not holding out much hope for a loss tomorrow but should be evens at worst. Am just glad to have managed 4x exersazz for the first time in ages.

Oh, and I counted how far it is to the smoking garden at work today, 65 stairs and 180 paces each way, so walking up stairs when I arrive/leave plus 4 cigs while I am there = 650 stairs and 1800 paces! That's got to be worth a mini kitkat I hope so...

Well done on the run Fjorn, and extra 1/4 mile each time is fab Smile

I am only on 3 exersazz's this week, but am going to the gym tomorrow morning, so a good start to next week for me.

Good luck all for tomorrow and no negative thoughts of 'Definitely a gain for me this week' or 'Not holding out much hope for a loss tomorrow but should be evens at worst' Angry

Think light and fluffy thoughts please Grin

Well done On the loss Fjorn Smile and enjoy your swim..

when i stepped on the scales they showed an 11lb loss Shock. I moved the slightly and it went to a 1.75lb loss which sadly is more realistic Grin

I went swimming and had the pool nearly all to myself [bliss] so in 12 hours I ran 2.5 miles and swam 0.5 miles Shock ready for bed now

I think we should all give ourselves a big pat on the back for a fabulous start to the new week. Shall we try and be pretty good this weekend? I am going to have some Wine, but am going to try and keep being vigilant with the food.

luckoftheirish · 09/09/2011 13:27

Good job I went swimming this morning because I have had a danish pastry and a piece of apple pie today Blush

Plus got a new tankini in the post and the top looks great but my bottom half is decidedly bad. I seem to be toning around my belly but leaving a not particularly solid mass of blubber

Welcome back bibi Smile

How bizarre loti Shock

Bit of a write-off weekend for me was hideously pre-menstrual yesterday and shovelling food in. We did go for a little walk yesterday, and a big one today though. Have tried running tonight but tea was eaten late so tummy was still too full and have only managed 1.8 miles. Will try and go tomorrow afternoon when I have dropped DS off at nursery though to make up for it.

Now off to drink wine...
