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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Boo for feeling poorly LOTI - hope it pisses off soon! Well done on the shred and not too much excess weekend poundage.

I am kitted up with my fitbit - loads of steps over the weekend but today at work has been paltry. Very interesting to see and hopefully will keep me on the straight and narrow.....

How are you Fjorny??

Walk to school and a 5k run and had achieved my 10k steps before 12. . Still on the rather portly side mind you so the run was a bit of an effort and VERY sweaty. Not quite sorted out the food side of the equation but better than being crap all round I suppose. Weigh in tomorrow is focussing the mind somewhat today.....

Well done sazz

Due to alarm clock fail I had to do shred tonight and it confirms how much I hate exercising in the evening! Anyway done and double school run walked.

Food ok not great need to work on it like you sazz

Alarm clock worked so shred done, twice in less than 24 hrs

The scales are bouncing all over the place tho not in a good way

Hope weigh is good for you Sazz

If you are lurking fjorny hope you are having a better week

Bloody hell that's good LOTI. I'm at the gym - scales resolutely stuck at 11

Must do better with food, must do better with food, MDBWT........

1k run, 1 hr circuits, 5 mins powerplate. My fitbit says I have only done six active minutes . I know its because there was loads of strength stuff with squats and weights which don't register but still. grrrrrrr

Ggrrrr indeed sazz fit bit can do one well done you

Second school run of the day done in the sunshine

1.5hrs of painting the bathroom and still no active minutes!!! Am considering buying the fitbit scales to link it all up but they don't have a unanimous thumbs up.

DD's have complained about walking to school, so drove today. They complained they wanted to walk

Lol my two don't have a choice unless it's tipping it down with rain! It's my own bit of fresh air of the day

I can only do it tues/weds because of work and I wanted to get to the gym in time for circuits this morning which is a bit tight if we walk. However will deffo do it both days next week!

Lol I power walk home as need to be in work for 9 kids have to practical run to the school

Are you still working for the same bloke - did that all sort itself out?

Yes Sazz went back once girls were back at school. The fog of doom had slowly lifted from the house! I was desperate to get back to some normality so right back in the thick of things and apart from having no time to do anything home wise (like any working mum) its great to be back.

Shred completely only one day left to weigh in and I will have to perform miracles to get a loss!

Oh I'm glad it has all worked out work/home wise, must be a great relief.

Well done on the shred - I really should dust it off. Likely to be a pretty inactive day here. At a conference so lots of sitting down and lots of munchies I imagine.....

Buggar up 1lb knew it won't be great... Need to try harder!

Day 5 of this weeks shred done and so long as it doesn't pour down with rain the school runs. Thinking I need to do some exercise at the weekend too

Hope you have fared better this week fjorny

Morning sazz

Have eaten lentil and prune curry for dinner tonight. And work is rubbish. BUT off for the night tomorrow to a hotel on a "Leicester city break" with the family which includes a visit to the space centre and the zoo so am quite excited. And off work until Wednesday as am using up annual leave. So not all doom and gloom.

And I feel fat, so not sure if I will weigh myself tomorrow.

Ah Dr G have you tried my fitness pal to track what you are eating ? Hope you enjoy a lovely day out and it strengthens your spirits

Well me and dds did Joanna hall's fat blaster DVD and a short abs programme too.. So let's see if exercising at the weekend helps!

Fjorny where are you???

And Miss Sazz???

C'mon ladies before we know it it will be Xmas

Did the cardio DVD this am I am super unfit. Even after a shower I look like this

Made me realise how bad I have let my fitness go

Anyway we are thinking of going away for half term after the disaster summer was for us which mean I have 6 weeks to lose some weight and tone up!

Morning ladies hope you are both still here as this is a bit of a one woman show!

Anyway it's Monday boo! Did the cardio DVD and abs blaster this am. Hoping this bit of mixing up with help!

Oh loti well done for keeping the flag flying while I am awol... another okish week went to pot by Friday so was still 12 8, then after another ridiculous weekend was back up to 13 stone this morning

So, once again the line is drawn. Thinking about every thing I put in my mouth. Friend has lent me some slimming world stuff to read, she had fab results from that last year so might give it a go. Gotta do something though!!!

Welcome fjorny I am sure you will wee out most of the excess in the next few days

Let me know how you go with slimming world tempted also to give it a try as you seem to be able to eat lots and lose weight

Double school run done

Well it's dd1 birthday today and she is 9!!! Where have years gone??

Anyway knowing what she is like for excitement I got up at 5.30am and did fat blaster and abs DVD. Go me lol

Wow LOTI - you're in the groove, well done.

So, my fitbit tells me that days not in the office are fine with at least 10k steps. Office days 5-7k . So will aim for lunchtime walks....

Weekend ok but nothing that is going to have pounds drop off me. Quick trip to Scotland yesterday so not great on food and then needed a glass of vino when I did make it back to the house 16hrs after leaving. Today 8k run and food ok so far.

Fjorny - you may have all of us joining you on slimming world lol. Can you just tell us what to eat as I'm quite obedient lol

Just thinking about SW seems to be working as down to 12 6.5 this morning fasted all day and had chicken salad for tea. There is a delicious looking cake at work, must resist, and it's a fecking macmillan coffee morning on Friday, MUST RESIST!!!!!!!!!

8k sazz???!! 8k that is really impressive good luck if you weigh in today!

Fat blaster and abs done. Have ordered another Joanna hall DVD eek arrives today but not promising anything

I too need fjorny to check out slimming world, set a menu, buy ingredients, make meals and present them to me!!!
