[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Another 40 mins of exercise done this am, same routine so obv getting a bit quicker

Slight downward movement on scales but nowt special!

Hope you two are doing ok xx

11.0st

1hr circuits, 10 mins powerplate

Well done on the keeping fit LOTI . Are you looking after yourself food wise? Please, please don't worry about the scales

Oh Fjorny - how can we motivate each other? Seems an impossible task from my side at the moment but any ideas or challenges welcome!

Third day in a roe up doing my little circuits Can finally feel my tummy getting a little tighter (thank u planking) however back to grabbing food when I can as super busy working from home with dds to boot roll on next week for some normality!!!

Well done for your circuits today sazz and like fjorny drink lots of water! I am sure you will be down a couple of pounds today

10.13.5. Slow progress down lol.

Hi Butternut and welcome - lovely to see a new 'face'

Our official weigh in is Friday but we often do other days too or miss weeks when it is the holidays

My 'story' is on page 1 so I won't repeat other than to say when Iost 4 stone in the course of a year it was with 1200 (net after exercise) calories a day religiously logged on FoodFocus and exercise 3 times a week.

I am just about a stone over my lowest (10st) so know exactly where you are coming from. Winter weather and kids school hols have not been kind so trying to get back in the zone and failing so happy for you to kick my sorry arse!

Hope you made the curry - sounds yum

Welcome butternut we are definitely not hard core but we try our best

Did my circuits this am 4 days in a row so v pleased with myself and its Friday and the kids are in camp so I can go to the office

10.12.5. Slowly, slowly.....

Did a 30 minute aerobic DVD and it is official I am so unfit!

Crap weekend as usual. Been to IL's which meant I had to take to drink to survive. Chips helped too

Back on it tomorrow.....

I must try harder to do weekend exercise like LOTI

Only reason I did some yesterday sazz was I feeling so sluggish on sat for doing nothing

Good stomp walk with pal this am and some sit ups. Off to do school run in a mo and office bound.. Too much rubbish eaten tho so feeling bleurgh

Managed to do both school run walking yesterday

Up this am for brisk walk with pal and sit ups/plank. Not sure if it is making much difference but energy levels are definitely better!!!

Ha ha Butter, yes there was a certain amount of 'biting of tongue' and 'WTF????' exclamations behind their back! MIL took DD's to church so DH and I went for a short walk but got beaten back by torrential rain which was a shame.

No exercise yesterday and had a conference with too much picky food and then I rounded it off with a trip to the pub where I may have had some cheesy chips. oh dear

Trying to get myself motivated to do some exercise today but stuck working at home at the mo and then need to go supermarket shopping so that may well not happen

I did talk to my neighbour about doing some early stomps and pilates so I must pick up with her and actually get something into a routine like you LOTI.

Turned up at pal house this am and all quiet debated turning around and going home but made myself walk. Hoping all this walking is doing some benefit!

Sazz I am struggling to get any proper exercise done unless I do it first thing in the morning. The day seems to just fly by and always too tired, cannot be bothered at night!

Fjorny where are you???? Hope you are ok xxx

Walking is always good for you LOTI, if only for the fresh air and headspace it gives . I need to take a leaf out of your book!

Late to the gym as had to drop car off at garage. Got to the gym and had to sort work calls so nearly didn't stay. However, pushed through and did 5k run and 10k bike plus 10 mins powerplate.

Butter - did you manage to kick off the Couch to 5k on Mon?

Fjorny, come back. Holidays are over

Well done sazz for plowing on at the gym I bet you ran like a demon

Walk and sit ups/plank done this am. Clocking up the miles this week

However complete crap work day yesterday meant I had a last night, I wanted more than one glass but stopped myself and watch the horrific programme on care last night it's my industry and was very sad to watch

Anyway onwards and downwards ladies

Well done butternut

I agree about the motivation of others going exercise inspires me

And good stomp this am so have walked every am this week and done double school runs

Weight holding steady but confess to attacking the Pringles a bit too much this week so all my own fault

Mixed week here too and need to up the exercise to make any real inroads. Still hovering around 11 and being pissed off that my work clothes don't fit

Butternut - I shall channel my competitive spirit and try to get back to 3-4 lots of exercise a week. Currently about 1.

Happy stomping LOTI

Nothing yesterday which reduced me to a carb filled day to try and get rid of the tiredness

An hour walk this am with my sit ups plank and leg work and energy restored

Good to hear it LOTI, it's amazing how it energises one
3k run with dd2 on her bike - much pushing up hills so a better workout than it sounds!

Been for a run this morning - hilly 6.5k

6.5k bike ride with dd1. Worked out yesterday's was about 5k rather than 3k. Loving the sunshine
