Is anyone feeling all MOTIVATED on this lovely sunny MONDAY

[StealthPolarBear]

I am :o

Well I did a good stint at the gym so hopefully i can keep it up this week. I was looking at photos of my last holiday and they weren't pleasant. I'm determined to get rid of my tummy, ditch the back fat and banish the bingo wings.

Wow IMST is an inspiration. Will power is what I'm seriously lacking! Hopefully chatting to you guys will help keep me going. I feel like I can't go on to people in "real life" coz they just seem to get board coz they aren't trying to lose weight at the same time.

Good book then toe?

Why on earth is the party so far one? Will you have to go into the party or can you go get a coffee somewhere and nurse your hangover?

DS is just having a nap then we're probably going to go for a stroll in the sun and get ice cream

Pfft you are a better mother than I am hair, 2hours..each way?! Naaah!

Yes book was just a free one from the iTunes thing and wasn't that good once it was finished, but whilst reading I couldn't put it down, I didn't even notice the time. (Today I am, I'm keeping a countdown for my bedtime)

I've totally wasted a beautiful day in the sun and instead have made a fort with ds in the front room using every quilt, cushion, pillow, sheet and throw over we have. It's very cosy and we've just had a picnic in there!

I've decided this week I'm going to be focusing on how much exercise I can do with ds, walking to the park instead of driving, playing lots of tag and races etc. so no toning just pure calorie burning. I will work on losing it all first then I'll figure out the toning bit later.

I would really like a stone gone by sept. Then another by nov.. Is that doable? Or have I set it too high?

Well I'm back. Parents of the birthday girl live in a bloody stately home! It's a good job I'm well spoken.

It was actually by mistake that I agreed dd could go. I said yes before I looked up the address. I live about 50 minutes from the girl's school and they live about 50 minutes the other way.

Great afternoon in the sun though and I got my exercise playing chase in the "formal" garden with about 30 10yr old girls.

Sorry but this

Place is so posh they open it to the public 4 days a week. I'm still in shock I think.

Well, someone's got to live in these places I suppose

D'ya wanna see it?

I've been really good food and water wise today. I've hardly had any food and I'm having prawn salad for dinner.

How's everyone else getting on?

Do share!

There you go.

I bet you haven't all missed me post

Ffs.

Posting useless stuff 15 times a day!

28th April 2014
The Bluebells are now in full bloom and there is a wonderful blue carpet in the Old Wood!

Well snap!!

that's a house and a half

It is indeed. You can see why I was taken aback. Kato of course, would have felt right at home.

Bloody hell I'd like to live there!

Well I've just had a go of the 30 day shred, I stuck with level 1 to see how my knees go. DH did wonder what I was up to as I dusted off my yoga mat and weights. I've decided I want a body like Gillian Michaels. I know a lot of people that have done really well and lost weight but don't looked toned with it. Whilst I wouldn't say no to be skinny and untoned I just don't think I'd suit it.

one post away, if it's not you it'll just be me talking nonsense.

Shred is great. It took me a long time to pluck up the courage to do it at first and god it hurt but I felt good after about day three!

Let's hope I make it to day 3! Did you just use you tube or actually buy the DVD? It's only a fiver on amazon but you have to spend over a tender for free delivery and my friend who usually gets it delivered next day on their prime is away this week.

Ps this time in 5 weeks I'll be sailing away from Nice!

It's 5.86 on play.com with free delivery if that's any help to you?

I have the DVD too, may even have a go 2mo, you've inspired me!

My mum bought it for me. She inspired a panic in me when she also bought a lemon drizzle cake for the dcs. (Did you see that thread?)

Anyway, I was convinced she was on here and had to ask her in the end. She wasn't , thank goodness.

Hair I didn't see that thread. Can you imagine if your Mum was on here (a general point there, not just hair) . It must have happened though surely.

It's MM!

1lb off for me on this beautiful Monday morning. Chuffed with that considering how much I drank and ate Friday and Saturday! Wooo!

Good luck to anyone weighing today!

Ps yes I'm aware I overuse the exclamation mark ....! Ner ner!

Yay toe well done. Are you taking out your lack of kissing with exclamation marks?!

I weighed in. I teeter between 146 and 148. If it gets to 148 I work harder, if it's 146 I'm happy (but would be even happier should it be less obviously). Today 145.8, so that's good, but I'm hormonal, and for some reason instead of bloating pre period I seem to lose a pound or two for a few days before it comes (weird!)

Alright rub it in! Everyone gets floated and crus lots and u get to be all slinky and better on the scales..that said I quite like having the excuse when I am a bit heavier 'well I AM due lady time so best take off 3lb' ahh much better!

*bloated and cries lots

Should have checked that before sending..

Well done Toe!

Reastie, I wish I'd get skinny before totm too. Unfortunately I'm with the bloated and awful crew.

Another good day today. I got my breakfast made by a friend, scrambled egg on toast, with her own hens eggs and chives from her garden. We had it late and I'm only just getting hungry. Kebabs and salad for dinner.

It's much easier to eat well when the sun shines. Does anyone else find that?

OK, don't be jealous of me and TOTM lack of weight gain. I gain weight after AF rather than before, and I am a true nightmare with moods and hormones and heavy periods.

Hair that breakfast sounds lovely
