3lb loss for me this week, back later, feeling rrrrrrrrubbish! Stoooopid cold!

GettinTrimmer · 16/01/2012 09:08

Well done on your 3lb loss Bebe.

I went to a zumba class last night, lots of shimmying and hip movement Grin

At least it's a start to my exercise regime again. I'm off to Body Combat tomorrow.

I am at least sticking to the sw plan so hoping to lose weight this week.

rebecklet · 16/01/2012 10:37

smokinaces · 16/01/2012 11:58

Well done on the three pounds bebe!!

I have had my chicken salad for lunch,

smokinaces · 16/01/2012 11:59

Darn hit enter!!

Meant to add, I have the day off today and am on the sofa doing nothing. Have the munchies and am cold but so far avoiding the snacks.......

Going to get on the stepper or Wii fit tonight. Haven't decided which yet. But need to tone!!

prettybird · 16/01/2012 17:07

Well done bebe on your 3lb - you must have been very surprised given what you had feared pleased :) Hope you are feeling better.

smokin - thanks for that info about Jillian's new DVD - I'll have a look into it. Did Day 5 of Level 1 today. Another 3 days and then I'll go on to level 2 (which I hate).

Made some sour dough bread today - my first attempt at using no additional yeast and unfortunately it worked really well. Blush At least I've been taste testing it "dry" - except for the first (small) peice that I had while it was still warm, which of course demanded lashings of had a smear of butter on it Grin

prettybird · 16/01/2012 17:08

... oh, and I've got an hour and a quarter of an advance Pilates class tonight :)

bebejones · 16/01/2012 20:28

Pretty - Was very 'pleased'! But had been VERY good Mon-Fri & then didn't eat yesterday afternoon/evening coz I felt too crap (stupid cold) so I had about 2 pints of water as that's all I fancied (bizarre) so must have all made up for the badness on Saturday!
Had seen the Jillian DVD as a double play one with 30DS, so must be out there on it's own.
Mmmmmm warm fresh bread and butter

Trimmer - Are you liking Zumba? I miss going, might pick it up again when I'm over this cold as my back is improving. (No real pain in the last week) DH got me Xumba fitness for the Wii for xmas, so might ease myself in with a bit of that!

Will need to be angelic for the rest of the week as just had Pizza for dinner (first proper food in 24hrs) didn't have any of the choc biscuits DD & I made today though :) Back on the soups tomorrow Wink

bebejones · 16/01/2012 20:28

Zumba...no idea what Xumba is?!!? Confused Wink

RatherBeOnThePiste · 17/01/2012 16:35

Checking in. Blimey it's cold. Does anyone else feel the cold more these days? I had a hot water bottle shoved up my jumper this afternoon, and I haven't stopped feeling cold all day, even my bones are cold.

prettybird · 17/01/2012 17:00

You've no longer got the insulation you used to have! WinkGrin

bebejones · 17/01/2012 18:06

I'm always cold these days, I always used to be boiling!! The loss of 4+ stone is completely to blame & I am not just 'cold blooded, like a reptile' as DH suggested the other week! Hmm Angry

GettinTrimmer · 17/01/2012 20:51

I'm OK, but then again I'm back to where I started

I went to aerobics today, it was alright and easy to follow but that zumba will take some getting used to!

bebe I enjoyed zumba, it's a little complicated but the idea is to go every Sunday. There was a bit of belly dancing thrown in I noticed.

bebejones · 17/01/2012 21:05

I find I can do arms or I can do legs, I cannot do both at once! :o

smokinaces · 17/01/2012 21:17

I've upped my exercise now. Done 2 evenings of 30 minutes on the stepper in a row. Think I need to try something different - 2 weeks of basically sts I think now. Which is great as I've had 2 big nights out, but I need to start toning as well.

GettinTrimmer · 18/01/2012 17:10

I am planning on going to RPM (spinning!) tomorrow. I am telling myself the bike won't collapse under me again (lightning doesn't strike twice). Some of you may remember me telling you about the bike collapsing incident, put me off spinning for ages!!

Anyway, I have an interview on Friday I am just so pleased to get within sniffing distance, as the last time I applied to the college to be an LSA no interview.

smokinaces · 18/01/2012 18:46

Good luck trimmer, with both the bike and the interview!!

I dug out my Wii fit plus.... 614 days since id been on it!!! Oooopps! But it was happy as is lost nearly s tone since then :--

smokinaces · 18/01/2012 18:51

Grin even

Smalline · 19/01/2012 17:19

Well done on your 3lbs bebe

good luck with your interview on Friday trimmer.

I have decided not to leave my job after all, the kids who started their new school on Monday (and touch wood seem to be enjoying it very much) go to breakfast clubs in the morning, I'm then able to drive to work, takes about 40 mins if no traffic (but there is always traffic) so usually takes about 60-70 mins, I leave when I finish my lunchtime duty and am then home in time to pick DD up from school, DS is luckily able to walk home by himself. I'm going to try and stick it out at least until the end of the school year, and then look for something local.

prettybird · 20/01/2012 12:28
