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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Fab exercise sazz and well done on the no wheat fjorny

Must confess my exercise has gone by the wayside just cannot seem to fit it in, working too much too tired blah blah blah..

Need a kick up the butt!!!!

12.10.5, 100 sit ups.

Lunch & dinner out tonight.....

Lol, should be 10.12.5

Um 12.5 this week. Was 12.6 in fact last as I did the metric conversion wrong ...

Not very good with food, but not terrible. Will try harder next week, and at least still down.

New laptop keyboard but keys much closer together so apologies for any spelling mistakes...

12 5 is ace DrG, well done! I was 12 6 yesterday so down 2 in a week, but went out for curry and beer last night and was +4 this morning

Oh dear oh dear we have all slacked off

In my defence have had really bad tummy issues so I am blaming that for the no exercise/rubbish eating!

Also since it is half term maybe all bets should be off til 2nd June?!

I am doing the 30 day tummy challenge which is a link on fb if there are any takers?!

Hope you are all well lots of love xx

11.3. I nearly cried this morning

Leg hurts too. Woe is me.

I've seen the challenge LOTI so I may have a go......

12.4 today on my parents' scales (in the right direction) and off to the beach with the kids, my mum and 86 year old dad later. We are thinking of hiring a beach hut.

Oh I eat rubbish. Yesterday I ate a whole packet of supermarket cookies. Argh.

I have discovered Marks and Spencer chilli lentil curls (we now have an M&S at work) at 90 calories a packet. They are OK. But still I find myself eating chocolate and cookies.

Here reporting for duty I think

Day 2 of abs and squats done ow, why does such simple short exercise hurt so much?

Trying to start the healthy eating again today but have lost my mojo along the way

Hope you ladies are well

Well done DrG and LOTI for keeping returning to here. We WILL kick each others butts!

Sorry for the absence, had my MRI results back and I have a stress fracture and have to rest for 5-6 weeks. So, I need to rethink how I stop myself from piling weight on without the normal exercise regime.

I swam last Thursday but nothing since then so I'm sure I'm up further.

Trying to fast today as my eating usually spirals once I start so figured I wouldn't start till later

Did some abs stuff this morning and will go out and print off the challenge to do with LOTI - can't do the squats one though. Did 100 sit ups, 1 min plank and 50 bum raises (lacking proper term lol) so it's a start.

8 weeks till holiday

Doing ok so far and am also wearing my tightest jeans and a tight top so I feel uncomfortable

Steak and salad for tea

Fasted yesterday so saving steak for dinner tonight.

Still 11.3 this morning which is pants but at least not more I suppose. Really trying to stay focussed this week although harder as have poorly DC at home.

100 sit ups, 1 min plank, 50 bum raises. - LOTI do you have a copy of the ab challenge workout? I tried to look at it via events on FB and couldn't find it.

Cannot share pic but it is www30dayfitness.com and then abs I think

Day 3 of abs/squats done rest day tomorrow!

Have booked in for a health mot on Thursday so that may spur me on to get back to it after!

Thanks LOTI, Looks like I have improvised a start at around day 11

Today going ok. Still in uncomfortable clothes .

Aiming to cycle & swim and do some arm stuff tomorrow.

I'm supposed to be having a medical at work, but given I can't do anything on my leg i'll postpone for now......

Sorry have been awol again

Half term not too bad so only up 6 to 12 12, no worse than a normal weekend and determined to not eat any wheat in June, also to continue my 10k steps per day. It's nothing like as hardcore as your guys abs etc but is really making me do something - have been out for 40 minute walk tonight in fact have only not managed it one day so far and that was just because I was drinking wine at my friend's house...

Sazz that is shit news about your leg how on earth did you manage to do it???? You will have to do lots of hopping lol

Loti good luck with your MOT, I'm sure they'll just tell you that you're gorgeous and stop worrying

Well done on the walking fjorny it all counts

Hope your leg quickly improves sazz

Done my squats and abs although today is officially a rest day I need all the help I can get

Tomorrow mot will I hope tell me how many cals I should be eating, hopefully sort out my tummy issues and get me back on track so I can be a lean mean fighting machine not a grumpy exhausted moody bloated being

Well done on the limited half term excesses and 10k steps Fjorn. I think I might buy a monitor too.

11.1.5 here this morning but feel a bit bunged up from too much steak last night tmi!

Did 120 sit ups/crunches, 1.10 plank, 50 bum lifts and 50 press ups

No 6 pack yet

25k bike, 5 mins arm work, 1 mile swim.

Goooo sazzzzzzz

11.0 this morning (although scales alternated between 10.10 and 11 . Going with heavier one given past weigh ins.

150 crunches/sit-ups, 65 bum raises, 1 min plank, 25 press ups, 50 chest flies

Off to work wearing the tightest clothes I can which don't look like they are too small. A challenge!!!

Wow sazz that 3 off already this week and you never know it may say 10:10 Tom

Day four of squat/abs challenge done. Mot in a bit and fasting so no coffee for me I am not functioning well

Just the excesses shedding off LOTI but I love your positivity. Thank you

Let us know how the mot goes and if they can give you some excellent advice. Why no coffee if you are fasting though? Does it need to be a proper fast for the mot rather than a self imposed 5:2 fast?

Ok so far today and swerved the leftover sandwiches at work - that was hard!

Tried on the dress which was really uncomfortable a couple of weeks ago and it is now just snug. Before Xmas it was nice and roomy so some progress still to make.

Have a catered lunch tomorrow and party on Saturday so need to try and keep focus. Prior experience shows this may be unlikely

Good work all, must admit i am lolling at the thought of you in your tight clothes to keep you focussed Sazz sadly I am wearing tight clothes because I have got too fat for them all...

Am down a bit but not really enough to undo half term despite two fast days and the rest of the time pretty damn restrained. Friday tomorrow and having burger and chips for tea but no bread bun and no wine although there will be mucho gin... got to have a goodish weekend to really see some loss next week. Need to up the exercise too as 10k steps not cutting it. I have hand weights, need to bloody use them!!!

Loti how did you get on at your MOT?

Day 5 of squats and abs done. Severely lacking in the old cardio tho!

I definitely need to rejoin my gym my fitness has gone way down, it's just trying to fit it in!

Mot was fine tho have very low blood pressure which causes me to feel a bit bleurgh every now and then!

My calorie intake should be 1511 a day so now I have a proper base going back to mfp and stick to that and see how I get on.. Have been eating waay more than that!

Well done on the fasting ladies, I really couldn't do it!

Hope weigh in are good, going to start mine from next week!

Only 8 weeks and 4 days to holly bobs eek!
