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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

Oh you poor thing loti! Hope it gets better soon.

Down 2 and fasting properly today, yesterday did involve jammy dodgers and an ice cream in the end

[StrictlySazz]

A measly 1 off this morning so I have done level one shred with cardio weights and been for a run in the glorious sunshine. Did pretty much the same route as the walk on Sat and was 4.85k. Really pleased I managed an average of 9k/hr which on these bastarding hills is pretty good for me anyway

Boo for the foot LOTI - mine is still hurting but not so bad. I have been recommended to take aloe Vera for it but keep forgetting

Yay for 2 off Fjorn - obviously low cal biscuits and ice cream

[StrictlySazz]

2hrs cleaning

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

2 hours??? you must have had some filthy friends to stay...

Nothing to eat all day until a small portion of chicken curry with cauliflower rice for tea. Hungry again so will just have a last cuppa and head to bed instead of eating. If only I could show a quarter of this restraint at the weekends I would be 10 stone!!!

[StrictlySazz]

Indeed Fjorn - that was just cleaning the spare room or alternatively the catching up of 3 weeks of no dusting

Well done on the food fjorn - I have had about 800 cals and 500 off from that on exercise, so calling it a fast day.

Seeing as I had an appalling weekend, am out having tapas Thurs, takeaway fri, friends for dinner sat and birthday lunch on Sun I think I need all the help I can get this week.......

[StrictlySazz]

3 off to 10.12.75 which is in the right direction. Comes with the arrival of AF deep joy

Gym/circuits today

If I can manage to stay at 10.10 over the next few weeks I'll be very happy and then kick again for loss after half term. We have a crazy diary and i know the exercise will be the first thing to go out the window

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

sazz, see we left that mess just to help you tone up

I too am -3, to 12 7 again that's the 4th week in a row , once again I am maintaining... so hopefully I can be evens on the week which will be a good result after all that cheese

[HelgatheHairy]

I opened a packet if choc chip cookies yesterday afternoon and finished them last night. Not good!

[StrictlySazz]

At least they are gone Helga - buy no more

4k run, 55 mins circuits, 10 mins powerplate.

Now for the supermarket run. Love my days 'off'

[StrictlySazz]

Managed 1200 cals today and that is before exercise calories so hopefully made some inroads into the remaining 3 excess pounds.

I have looked into re-enrolling the girls to the gym over the winter and get them swimming lessons - I think I will do this at the weekend to encourage me to go in at the same time and maintain a good exercise regime

LOTI - are you still a member at the gym or are you just using the shed now? Hope the foot is on the mend too, although the weather has been vile and walking anywhere today would have left you drenched (it did me anyway. twice )

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

Very good work on the exercise & low cals sazz, hope it translates into more loss

Despite a suppertime disaster of several ginger nut biscuits I have managed another 1 off to 12 6. 2.5 to go... Fasting today, hungry already!

[StrictlySazz]

2.5 off . so evens for this week which I'm happy with. out tonight for meal/drinks so am calling it this weeks weigh in.
Thurs 5th sept - 11.4
Thurs 12 sept - 11.0
Thurs 19 sept - 10.12.75
Thurs 26 Sept - 10.13.0
Thurs 3 Oct - 10.12
Thurs 10 Oct - 10.10.25
Thurs 17 Oct - 10.10.25

Hope the fast isn't too bad Fjorn - 2.5 IS possible!

[luckoftheirish]

Yes still a member of the gym but never go need to make decision on it really as its lots of pennies. Girls are members to but only for tennis and I have to pay extra for that!

Got drenched when I had to go out walking yesterday but foot was killing me at the end. This week has been a nightmare exercise/cals so just drawing a line under it!

Starting again today

Well done on both loosing lots of the excess you are putting me to shame

[StrictlySazz]

It is expensive isn't it? I flounced from our gym (well kids membership, not mine, natch) when they put it up from £7 to £10. We don't really use it in the summer as have the school pool but it's useful for winter weekends.

Where does your foot hurt? Is it worth another docs trip?

Don't feel bad about not being as extreme as me - I needed to do some serious reversal this week!

[StrictlySazz]

400 calories eaten so far, so 800 for this evening. I fear it may not be enough.......

[StrictlySazz]

I've not weighed but was pretty good last night and had chicken salad washed down with wine. Had some bread and a few chilli almonds but could have been worse!

Going to try and shred this morning......

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

Sounds yummy Sazz, looking forward to some wine of my own tonight!

Disappointingly +1 at 12 4.5 but this may be due to digestive issues i really need a poo... so not getting too annoyed and not seeking solace in the cake tin!

Loti hope your foot is feeling better.

Helga eat the biscuits if you want, breastfeeding cancels out many sins!

[StrictlySazz]

Ah boo Fjorn, but well done on the determination front.

Level 3 shred and 2k (hilly) run done. Won't cancel out tonight's Chinese I suspect but better than not doing anything.

In negative calories so far today

Oops!

[HelgatheHairy]

So today's weigh in is 11.1.4 which is 1 down from last Sunday. Not sure how considering the amount of biscuits I ate but not complaining. I seem to be stuck at just over 11 so my (hopefully) short term goal is to be 10 something within 2 weeks.

[StrictlySazz]

Helga - I know only too well the 'stuck at just over 11!'

10 something in 2 weeks will definitely be achievable

[HelgatheHairy]

Strictly - not if I keep having Chinese takeaways! Been quite good today though

[StrictlySazz]

I had Chinese and beer last night Helga. No cheese, even though offered

32 lengths swum today and 1/2 hour splashing around with kids in pool.

Out for dinner again tonight though....

[StrictlySazz]

+4.75 to 11.1 so not so bad as last week although I'm not sure why if in honest

Back to self imposed boot camp this week and am going to try and exercise every day and stick to 1200 calories before next mini break next weekend......
