HotMamas - Five years on, are we fit or are we fat???

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Hey LOTI, sounds like some nice fresh air there . I miss walking

Weeeeeeellllll. A very bad 11.5 on the scales, so did shred this avo and very good on food. Long may it last!!

I so feel better for the extra exercise over the last week or so, so that is my main goal. Just trying to keep the shin splints and plantar fasciitis at bay......

How are you Fjorny?

Ouch sazz, fingers crossed you have been weeing all day...

Well was only +3 to 12 7 this morning, mainly due to only boozing on Friday night. Been for tests re my balance today which required 48 hours alcohol - free . Made up for it tonight though so will be feeling like shift at work tomorrow and no doubt reaching for the consolatory carbs...

loti it's been a lovely day for walking, hope you enjoyed it

Well I only managed 1 1/2 school runs as it was chucking it down with rain on pick up. I then had to endure a two hour wacky warehouse party and then pick up dd1 from brownies. My tea consisted of and nibbles to be fair was too tired to think about making anything!

Lent starts tomorrow not that I am in any way religious however all chocolate/sweets/rubbish and is being banished!!!!

Bingo I am sure the scales will be a lot more favourable today

Hope test went ok fjorny

11.1.5 this morning. Will have a busy day so should steer clear of too much food temptation. Plan to walk to school this morning and maybe try and fit in a little run on my way home.

LOTI - could you batch cook some chickpea/veg curry and rice so just grab from the freezer for such evenings?

Well done on a good weekend Fjorn and stay strong at work.

Stupid phone ate my message... [grrr]

Lol Fjorn - not hangover handfistedness???

5-6k ish walk/run. That's 3 exersazz's notched up since Friday

I'll change name in their honour...

Woo hoo for big loss and exercise Sazz

3 mile walk done today not a lot but something

Down to 10.13 today , but have lunch out today and tomorrow.....

LOTI I think a 3 mile walk a day is great and just the right amount of exercise to keep you fit and healthy. I just make it sound more by writing it in km

2k run, 1hr circuits, 10 mins powerplate.

Just need to make healthy choices for lunch.....

Fish soup and a small piece of bread plus a little piece of cheese for afters. Pretty good considering what the choices could have been!

You are doing very well guys

I was ok yesterday till after lunch, it all went a bit wrong and ended with pancakes, golden syrup and squirty cream

So still 12 7.5 this morning! Not too worried, have fasted today and doing it again tomorrow so hope to wee out a few. As long as down to 12 3 or so by Friday I'll be satisfied...

10.12, so 2 off from last weds and 1/2 stone off from mon

Feel so much better for the exercise

Well done on the fasting Fjorn, I hope it pays off and resets the naughty cravings

Out for lunch again today. Will try and shred later to keep up the exercise endorphins.

Wow sazz you are doing really well! Glad you seem to have found your exercise vibe again, and the apparent arrival of spring might help to keep you running

Fasting went reasonably well although only 1.75 off. Just got my period so hoping that slowed loss yesterday. It's now a question of how fast I can lose the bloating.... At least this explains my foul mood earlier in the week and also my carb hoovering

Yes, it feels good Fjorn and deffo a spring thing.

I have also managed to get into the dress I couldn't 2 weeks ago so that feels good too. Hopefully opening up more wardrobe options will keep me on the straight and narrow

Well done both

You are both putting me to shame

However no chocolate since Tuesday night which is massive in my book so hoping that the mindless snacking will be leaving the building

Not great lunch as 2 courses, but small brekker and tea so hopefully balances out a bit. No shred

Evens so still 12 4 and still 3 up on pre - half term weigh...

Evens here too at 12.12 so 0.5 up on pre half term but I was 2 less than that the week before, so 2.5 back to that target. Ok for food so far today. Need to do some exercise tomorrow to keep some chance of a loss week.

Oops.back to 11.2.....

Back on my fitness pal after another horrific weekend 4 miles walked but need to do more!

10.13.5 but had a poorly tummy yesterday and didn't eat too much.

Need to try to fit in some exercise today....

Walked 5.5 miles today. 'twas lovely

Body seems recovered which is good.

Back to 11 today which is a tad disappointing. Won't make circuits today either

Oh poo sazz, but still not too bad. Your walk sounds lovely! I did go out for an hour at lunchtime but was more shop traipsing than brisk countryside enjoyment. Arms still aching from Monday garden wrangling though so exercise all over for me this week!

12 6 this morning so still some way to go. Someone is going to Costco for birthday pizza and muffins today will try really hard just to have 1 slice of pizza and no cake... Only 3 weeks till my own birthday, what chance to be 1 1 - something by then????

Snap sazz on 5.5 miles walked yesterday

Today up for a brisk 2.5 mile walk and the walked dds to school and back before dashing to office.

Definitely feeling the benefit and sticking to the no chocolate need to curtail other snackage tho

Glad you feeling better sazz and fjorny I foresee 11 something by your birthday
