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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Bad weekend here too, mainly beer and cake, was ace

+3 this morning so not too bad although think period is on way so badly craving carbs...

I think we can safely say that last weekend was a non starter for all

Fat blaster and abs done. No car today so looking at a minimum of normal school walk and a maximum of 6 all rock n roll here

Well it's a lovely day for lots of school runs loti! All I have done so far is drive to work

Got the 3 off so back to 12 6 and hoping for a small actual loss this week before I fuck it up at half term again

Still at 11.4 . Inconsistently consistent with gym scales at 10.13. Bit pissed off if I'm honest that I have put on 4lbs from last weds in a day and a half with being really good the rest of the week. Not much motivation here at the gym tbh. Am just thinking fuck it and going home but I won't. Not sure I'll do spin though.

Apologies for the me me me post

Oh sazz hopefully you enjoyed your circuit training and feel a bit better.

I am in a similar position with some rapid weight gain but not really been bad enough to warrant it. I am keeping up with the exercise as I know I feel physically better doing it and feel like saying f**k it to the scales and they they can do one!

Well done fjorny on getting back to last Friday

Thanks LOTI - I gave myself a stern talking to and got a grip.

10k run, 10k bike and 10 mins powerplate. Wrist is strained and hence avoiding circuits for the time being.

Why the uncertainty on the school runs LOTI?

Well done on your downward progress Fjorny

2 down one to go! Dd2 wasn't sure if she was going to do an after school club but decided on pick she wanted to do it! So home for the grand total of 30 mins and away back out again!

Meant to say sazz that was some awesome exercise .. I think I know why the weight has come on and not shifting I keep stuffing my face!

Lol LOTI - no stuffing face here and down to 11.1 which is better but not weight loss territory

5 mins exercises completed as can't do anything which relies on wrists, so some sit ups and squats etc

Just stepped back on the scales after a single cup of tea and 11.3. FFS. Electronic wizardry at its expensive worst

Sazz were you still holding the tea cup???

I am going to tell all the scales to do one mine are exactly the same

Cardio and abs done, one school run completed... Not that it is making a shred of difference and no dinner last night as I was in a foul mood and cba!!!!

Hello, I have 2 days so far of 5 miles each way cycle commutes. Yay, feeling quite positive that I have something good to say!

Good cycling DrG! And hope all your sweat and tears in the gym had some effect loti and sazz...

Nothing for me, still 12 6 , now let's see how much I can put on at half term :D

Well I have walked 22 miles so far this week (4 to go today) and done my DVDs 4 times and the scales seem to just be getting heavier!

I have increased a little on what I have been eating to compensate the exercise but still under my calories every day.

I am in a ft it pd off mood! However it is Friday, it is half term and it is my last day of work until the 5th Nov (two inset days)

Fjorny well done for even Stevens

Great cycling Dr G

Did my 4 miles worked done kids on half term woo hoo

Lol LOTI, you're like a machine

Worked 12 hours today and walked about 17 steps in total

11.2 this morning before any lead tea was drunk. I just need to do some exercise over the weekend to keep motivation up.

Great cycling DrG and it's always good news to just see you pop by even if it's not always to report positive news as quite frankly the rest of us don't

Good maintenance there Fjorny. Better than gaining like me

Crikey, overload - have some to dilute them!

One for us LOTI

Lol sazz nutter

Friday ok, although dh cooked tea which involved pastry - I surreptitiously left most of it
Yesterday ok. Had a bacon pitta for brunch which was delicious if not necessarily low calorie. Managed to make it to dinner time with just a bowl of cabbage soup and tea pretty healthy.
Today ok, had porridge and been for a 6.5k run. Will have more soup and try to get to dinner on that as we are going to friends for takeaway and
Out for dinner 4 times in the next week

So did well yesterday and even went out for another stomp with friends. We'll gloss over 7pm - 10pm part mind you. Not excessively bad so feel fine about it today.
Back to cabbage soup for lunch and no idea for tea lol
Ended up working today even though supposed to be on hols so not very active. Will try harder tomorrow.

Remaining resolutely at 11.2. Better than gaining although I have no idea whether I trust the scales

Aim of today is to be more active!!

Well done at maintenance sazz I would be tempted to buy a cheaply scales to compare

Went for brisk walk this am off on hols today but will keep checking in to whip my stick at you all
