Lol my child no idea Smile I think that dig is the queen of biking and her times are way more impressive than mine Grin

Have completely fallen off the wagon tonight, blaming pmt!

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep · 20/05/2012 22:23

Same here. Didn't want to mention that my bloody friend treated us to Macdonalds. So I figured I'd blown my diet and therefore had many a few glasses of wine tonight, and did not do 30DS.

Why am I so blood weak? Angry.

When I had loads to lose I would have stayed resolute while the buggers others had their Big Macs and Happy Meals, but now I'm within a mouse's whisker of my dream bod, I keep fucking slipping up!

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep · 20/05/2012 22:25

AF started today, but can't even blame her, as I wasn't even feeling particularly 'cravy'. Could have stayed firm if I'd put my mind to it Angry.

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep · 20/05/2012 22:54

Anybody got any tips on how to get my bum back? Mine has gone AWOL. Have looked under bed, in wardrobes, even in oven, to no avail. Am getting desperate. If you have my ass, I am willing to negotiate, and promise not to involve the police! Confused

luckoftheirish · 21/05/2012 08:18

Squats, lunges, using kettle bells Smile

luckoftheirish · 21/05/2012 12:40

1.20km cross trainer and 5.5km interval training on treadmill.. Thankfully more running this timeGrin

Too many carbs this weekend so trying to up the protein!

luckoftheirish · 21/05/2012 16:20

School run done in the sunshine Smile and lots of protein today Smile

MyChildDoesntNeedSleep · 21/05/2012 19:23

What weight are kettle bells? I've been Googling, and it does look like I need to use some serious weights to do my squats/lunges. I do not understand where my bum has gone! Sad

luckoftheirish · 21/05/2012 19:51

I use 8kg but I am a lightweightGrin my friend does 12kg

OctopusSting · 21/05/2012 20:32

Hellooooo all. back after rubbish weekend again. I shall hop back on the hamster wheel again though....

MyChild, my bum disappeared too. I fear it will not return as my mothers is MIA too.

I do quite a lot of lunges, weigh assisted squats etc to no avail. I tend to use 12kg kettlebells, coz i is hard. Innit. Grin

Well done on the exercise LOTI, you sound back in the swing of things Smile. I am going to try a run tomorrow with my new trainers and new insoles and the newly arrived sunshine Smile. I would like to do it straight from walking the DD's to school, but DD1 is SOOOOOOOooooo knackered i fear she will not be up for a morning stomp

luckoftheirish · 22/05/2012 11:16

Went to get a new fitness programme done at the gym. My old trainer gave me a free pt session, oh my god!!! It was so hard and she ended it with a 5mins run up the steepest incline on the treadmill.. Felt I was going to die GrinGrinGrin

luckoftheirish · 22/05/2012 11:16

Good luck with your run Octo Smile

FjorGynAndHotWater · 23/05/2012 09:08

Sorry I have been awol again shockingly bad weekend included profiteroles.... anyway am down to 'only' +2 on last Friday and hoping a couple of super-low-carb days will sort that out. Had a rubbish half an hour trying to find something to wear yesterday so really need to shift at least a stone before July...

luckoftheirish · 23/05/2012 11:30

Fingers crossed fjorny Smile the nice weather should definitely help Smile

Spin class done, was really aching from yesterday and now can barely move Hmm

Haven't bothered to even look at scales as totm and bloated yum would not make nice reading Hmm

luckoftheirish · 23/05/2012 11:31

Yum???? Blush tum!!!

luckoftheirish · 23/05/2012 18:21

20 mins on stepper Smile

OctopusSting · 24/05/2012 11:36

Helllooooo. Still not great here as i keep eating crap instead of an evening meal (better than both i suppose? Grin)

Didn't run on Tues but did do 6.5k yesterday outside up the VERY big hill near us, so took about 45 mins. 2.5k run and 1hr pilates this morning.

Hoping for evens this week but i fear that may be a tad optomistic Blush

Well done on your running/PT and spin LOTI. You are amazing!

Fjorn - keep coming back here to check in - i always feel almost embarrased putting my head round the door and kicking my heels sheepishly (as i have done for the last 7 weeks Hmm), but it is better than not having that conscience and going into total freefall. We WILL get back to it........

luckoftheirish · 24/05/2012 12:34

Well done Octo GrinGrinGrinGrin

Another spin class done today and doing express body pump tonight with sil.. Trying to build bridges again Hmm

Weight is completely crap and do frustrated SadSad

luckoftheirish · 24/05/2012 19:33

Express body pump and express body attack done Smile

OctopusSting · 25/05/2012 06:49

Eek. +1.5.

BAAAAD.

luckoftheirish · 25/05/2012 07:51

Not as bad a +3.5 SadSadSad so have managed to put on the weight I lost the last two weeks Hmm so not happy Sad

However although I have been eating healthily I have been eating a mix of prunes/bran flakes/granola to help with my constipated tum Blush.. It's working a treat but I think too much of it is causing bloating and granola is v v calorific Sad

Feel so frumpy and fat Sad

FjorGynAndHotWater · 25/05/2012 08:42

It's no consolation to you two but you've made me feel better about my measly +0.75 Wink

OctopusSting · 25/05/2012 12:24

1.5k run, 1hr circuits.

GOOD

Now can someone show me where the middle ground is please? Grin

luckoftheirish · 25/05/2012 13:09

Lol Octo I wish I knew Grin

Well done fjorny Smile

30 mins spin done, god I'm addicted GrinGrinGrin may be doing some toning later but as as the weather is so nice might convince dd1 not to do tennis social and drink Wine instead BlushGrinGrinGrin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 25/05/2012 13:25
