Luckoftheirish · 23/06/2014 06:50

Exercises doneSmile got a work call at 11.20pm last night I was dead to the world and was trying to stop what I thought was my alarm and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't stop Blush

I think I will be winging it this weekGrin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 24/06/2014 12:19

Wow loti 11.20pm is dedication to duty! Hope your exercising still going well.

Ended the weekend +4 and still +4 today but fasting and weeing like a racehorse today lol! Keeping off wheat still which is really helping snackage limitation.

Oops, I fell off the food and exercise wagon for a bit Blush. Anyhoo, I shall gloss over that for now and back to it today - 25k bike, 5 mins powerplate and 15 mins morning exercise. Went to specialist today for inserts and now have foot strapped again so swimming is also off the list. Gah!!! I'll weigh in tomorrow but expecting a small gain if I'm honest. Going for x-trainer and rower tomorrow as these are permitted Grin

Have agreed with neighbour to do twice weekly early morning walks so hopefully that will keep me on the right track.

PMSL at the racehorse on the thread and LOTI I hope you are not working too much like a mad thing

Luckoftheirish · 24/06/2014 21:34

Yes sazz I am working like a mad thing Hmm averaging about 4hrs sleep and struggling to switch off in that time in case the silly phone rings! Boss back 4th July so working every day til then.

Still doing school runs with phone in hand and exercises where I can fit them in

Well done on all your weeing fjorny Grin

Boo for no swimming sazz but great exercise today and hurrah for cross trainer it's a killer Grin

Luckoftheirish · 25/06/2014 06:50

Exercises doneSmile

SummerSazz · 25/06/2014 09:18

Exercises not done and don't seem to have made it to the gym. Blush

Rubbish. Angry

FjorGynAndHotWater · 25/06/2014 09:39

Back to 12 5 after massive weeing :D

Also made buns for DDs school last night and managed to resist living the bowl out Shock but failed miserably on steps and only did 6306. Need to do 14000 today to make up for that.

Sorry to hear your exercise keeps being scuppered sazz, I know it helps you to keep on the straight and narrow food-wise . Hope they can sort you out or chop it off actually that would lose you a few lbs Wink

Just ate a wispa Blush it wasn't even nice, tasted of soap no wheat in it though!

FjorGynAndHotWater · 27/06/2014 08:25

-1.5 to 12 3.5 so very slow but still in the right direction. Going to try not to overdo it this weekend and see what happens. Definitely feeling a bit thinner round my top tummy if not my bottom tummy (or my bottom for that matter!)

DoctorGilbertson · 28/06/2014 10:45

12 5

I was more last week but didn't want to tell you.

But DD swam a whole width on her own (with me walking alongside)

Online shop coming at 11

FjorGynAndHotWater · 04/07/2014 09:20

Been away for a week Shock did try to post on Tuesday but phone ate my words of wisdom.... anyway am +0.5 to 12 4, rather disappointed as been pretty good. Not giving up though, even though I seem to be only two down after a month without wine or wheat, there is a world cup themed buffet at work today with some lovely home made bread, then kids' school fete this aft... must resist...

FjorGynAndHotWater · 05/07/2014 19:04

I fell off the bread wagon

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 07/07/2014 07:47

Come back you guys!!!! Only 11 days till the holidays start Shock

Ended up +5 to 12 9, oops Blush after more bread plus pringles doughnuts and icing...

SummerSazz · 07/07/2014 20:01

I don't dare go near the scales Blush

On the upside my new inserts have arrived not that I have been near my trainers for about 2 weeks mind

DoctorGilbertson · 07/07/2014 20:50

Yes, it's another week where I don't want to tell you all. Don't know how much but about 12 7 I think (less than 80kg, but not a lot)

Luckoftheirish · 08/07/2014 06:51

I am also in hiding BlushBlushBlushBlush 4 weeks til holly bobs done no exercise in weeks and eating pure rubbish. I had rejoined the gym when 3 days in a row and not been back BlushBlushBlushBlush

Have seriously lost my mojo so if anyone can send it back I would be very appreciative Wink

SummerSazz · 08/07/2014 20:10

Went to the gym today to try out the new inserts - 1.5k run and 1.5k walk, 5 mins powerplate sauna and jacuzzi

Got in the scales and was very pleased to still be about 10.9. Muscle turned to fat from a few weeks ago but still a nice boost Smile

I have been severely not looking after myself so this week is about drinking water, eating fruit and veg, getting plenty of sleep and doing some basic skin are regime. My body feels and looks battered from doing none of this for the past couple of weeks. All my own fault but I want to feel healthier now!!

FjorGynAndHotWater · 08/07/2014 22:15

Welcome back everyone,I'm very glad not to be on my own any more Smile

Had cake and buffet yesterday as we had DS' birthday party on 7/7 instead of 8/8 but amazingly still down a bit this morning and have had a pretty good day although not a proper fast. Really want to be under 12 by next Friday but not sure how likely that is based on past performance lol Blush Grin

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 11/07/2014 07:00

Hovering between 12 1.5 and 12 2, nearer to 12 2 i think but still that's -2 for the week despite cake crisps and bread!!! 2 to go to my no1 target.... it's almost a shame the holidays start next weekend as finally in the groove and it'll all go tits up for 6 weeks, back to the start again Blush Grin

OP posts:
Luckoftheirish · 11/07/2014 07:05

Well done fjorny Grin

Well I have made an executive decision to start on Sunday! 1st proper day off since Xmas today lunch and night out tonight woo hoo Smile

Going to the gym on Sunday (have booked to go with someone for motivation) and then will take the dds swimming! So will get back on it! Going away on 6th august so want to be fitter healthier and my clothes to fit better.... She says hopefully GrinGrinGrin

DoctorGilbertson · 12/07/2014 18:10

12 stone 5 today. DS did a width on his own.

better than last week

Well done everyone else

FjorGynAndHotWater · 15/07/2014 21:31

Another shocking weekend, +5.5 on Monday Blush but reining it in & doing OK so far this week, even swerved a magnificent buffet at work, scales looking promising and if I can just avoid the carb cravings that come with my period I might undo all that damage by Friday. Done 16k steps today too! This makes up for last week which was piss poor

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 17/07/2014 07:29

Down to 12 2 hurrah! Got a fasting day today too so if I can keep to that I might just shave 12 stone by tomorrow... bloody starving already though and need to make chocolate brownies for a party tonight...

It's our 10th wedding anniversary today so for a laugh I tried on my wedding dress last night and my god I was such a bloater! So feeling quite good about that, and can deffo see where weight has come off on top tummy, just need more effort on lower half. Will this be the summer holidays I actually manage to maintain rather than putting 10th back on?????

I am going to try and keep posting just to remind me to step away from the cake every once in a while! Hope you guys will keep posting too Smile sazz where are youuuuuuu? ???

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 18/07/2014 07:14

2 off to 12 stone, hurrah!!!!!!!!! Then only 10 hours before the holidays start and it all goes tits up again...
