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

Well done sazz

Well back in total spasm gonna take a few days to sort out he did say tho that my back is pushing my abs out so on the pregnant looking tummy

How is it feeling today LOTI?

Well done on biscuit swerves Star - don't worry about the exercise - it will come soon enough . You have 2 littlies at home and sure I never managed much other than the odd stomp with the double buggy.

1k run, 1 hour Pilates. Will try and walk to school for pickup if I can persuade dh to mend the single buggy......

Heads up on a Hot Mama-friendly tea: I made this tonight and it was bloody delicious.

1/2kg down so not too bad and I managed to go to 1hr hot yoga class last night that I really enjoyed.

Well done Merlion, 1/2 kg is fantastic - well done

Star that looks delicious.

+1 here but I suppose I was out for dinner on weds. Still very frustrating as the rest of of the food/exercise has been pretty good. I may have to give cabbage soup another go to kick myself off this plateau.

Well done Merlion

Yum star

That's a buggar sazz.. You are exercising so well I cannot understand it another try on food focus??? [hugs]

I am evens which is a blooming miracle as no exercise since Sunday.

Back finally easing off so going to try Pilates this am to see if I can stretch out a bit, happy if I last 20 mins!!

Good work merlion and phew loti!

sazz I feel your pain and double it to +2 although I am hoping to be able to blame it on all the carbs I had yesterday (croissants, bacon butties, fish & chips, chocolate cake...) although looking at that list there may be some extra fat round my middle today

star DH has a phobia about aniseed (too much pernod as a young 'un) so have never tried to cook fennel. Does look yummy though.

Been swimming this morning

Fennel too $$$ here.

I love Pernod. I'm sure I'll put it all back on at the dinner party tonight!

Loti hope the pilates helps.

Pt session happened even tho we cancelled it however managed to get thru and 10 mins of cardio... Back not great but getting there slowly

2k run, 1 hr hard circuits including sprints and a 2k row. Then took DD2 swimming

Well done sazz and if you are feeling good who gives a monkey what the scales say

Well done fjorny on your swim and birthday treats are definitely allowed on the menu

40 mins at the gym

1 hour personal training boot camp! Only me and my gym buddy turned up!

Well, i have to say i think i have eaten a weeks worth of calories this weekend . Please remind me of this on Friday when i am whinging .........

Lol sazz

And I have a chest full of knives from yet another cold so no exercise from me this weekend

Oh no hots :-( hot toddy?

A quick blast at the gym.. 20 minutes on the stair master which is the most brutal machine ever, 10 on stepper and 5 on powerplate.. 565 cals...

Sazz what do u do on powerplate? I do lunges, stretches and the dreaded plank.. But wondered if u had any inspiration??

How are you feeling today fjorny??

No gym today as i am feeling like i have been run over by an ice road trucker

LOTI - i mainly do stretches as i use it to cool down after runs/circuits. So i do 2 lots of 45 seconds on 40/High of

1. Hamstring stretches (fold over in 2)
2. Calf raises - up on tiptoes and back down again
3. Quad squats - down as low as possible (bum to the wall in Jillian speak)

If i am doing a longer set i do some stomach crunches (30/Low), plank, tricep dips, press ups and back relaxors

Wow that's alot but some good tips thank you

You poorly? Lots of rich tea and sympathy

I'm in the pub

Lol have a for me

Feeling much better thanks loti

Still no exercise but at least have been reasonably good with my food intake today.

I see you are taking the hotmama-ing seriously too sazz

Tomorrow is another day and will be walking everywhere if the car fails its MOT...

Ok so I killed myself today

Did 30 mins on stepper at level 20... I am an idiot but burned 755 cals for my troubles.. And 5 mins powerplate with sazz's moves

So now I look like this hoping to fade to this by school run

Where are the hot mamas????
