Hot Mamas - are we fat (Feb 2015 onwards)

[velmadinkly]

Hi all

I thought I'd start a new thread. I finished off the last one!!!

Hello LOTI and nice to see you Cyst

All going ok here - no great exercise here but good water/food/no booze/creams applied/mucho sleep.

Off out tonight but driving so will avoid alcohol/cheesy chip combo

Zumba and school runs done and have swerved the wino

Hello cyst

Enjoy your night sazz

Oops, mail fail on mucho sleep tonight as need to be up in 6 hours. I'll catch up at the weekend

Well done on the swerve and the continued daily exercise LOTI [smile[

Good to see the old thread so busy for once! I am in utter fat land at the moment, scales nudging 14st despite a week of goodness

So, you know me and my preference for weird diets rather than sensible ones, I have decided to only eat one meal a day Monday - Friday and two a day at the weekend. On day 4 so far, it's going ok even though no results just yet, but feeling a bit more in control and hoping that as I'm not cutting out carbs this time i might avoid the massive weight swings...

Bloody freezing at work so burning a few extra calories just trying to keep warm.... nothing to eat so far, daydreaming about my burger and chips for tea though, and as I have abandoned the low carb nonsense I can have it in a wrap :D

Hope you're all having lovely healthy days :)

I too am freezing fjorny and about to brave the school run returning with 4 children instead of 2!

Zumba and school run done this am.. I fear my body is getting to used to zumba but cannot be bothered to try anything else!

Friday is normally night but may try and swerve again see how the play dates go

I posted this morning but appears my on blink phone didn't bother to actually connect with MN

A WTF moment on the scales at 11.5 so really is a full stone to lose rather than the perennial half.

Ok with food and water so far and no booze for a week.

Lack of exercise although did 5 mins arms and abs this morning.

Lol at Fjorny and the new magic diet - intrigued as to how this one goes as I need to mix things up a bit.

Hope the play dates not too stressful LOTI and you are now relaxing. I chucked a child out home at 7.30 as I wanted a bath and my DC in bed

Saturday morning zumba done my last Saturday morning for two months as i become the sole driver in our house! Dds do drama class and it starts just as zumba finishes boo!

2.5 mile run done this morning with lots of calves staring at me quizzically.

Fjorny, could you track what you eat that way in MFP or something like that to make sure you're getting enough calcium, vitamins etc.?

I couldn't do that in a fit, but you need to be making really tip top choices about what to eat.

Speaking here as someone who lived for a long time feeling awful on poor vitamin intake unknowingly before I got diagnosed as coeliac.

7k run this morning in glorious sunshine and think I have now connected with Red on mapmyrun. Hopefully this will act as some motivation!! Phone kept working today on this run so hopefully all ok now.

LOTI - can you do something while DC are in dance class - go for a walk or run round the area? Boo for being sole driver for now

Going to make a nice curry for tea but lunch choices evading me at the mo. I did laugh at work as even my boss commented on the return of the rocket and Parmesan salad

Well, I haven't made it to the gym this week BUT I did spend eight hours walking all over Legoland today.

Is it good Cyst? DC love Lego but I hate crowds of people so have avoided so far. Keep meaning to plan for an inset day so must look at this

30 day shred, level one with weights done. Will try and do my 5-10 mins a day arms/abs as running is grey for fitness but not bingo wings and jelly belly.

Happy Sunday all and remember your water ????

I need water sazz

Sunday morning Zumba done but with a couple of last night feeling a tad delicate

It was brilliant Sazz although I think now is the ideal time of year to go - yesterday was glorious weather but not too hot, busy but not heaving, and best of all NO WASPS. Don't ever visit LL in August, it is just one massive wasp colony then

Would also recommend reading the tips thread on here if you do decide to go, very very useful indeed.

Thanks Cyst - i'll look that out

10 mins arms/abs complete. DD's organised a party yesterday and lots of crisps and cakes were featured. Was ok(ish) and included a couple of but generally pretty good.

Back to strictness this week but out for lunch today and dinner Thurs with work so may be hard........

Gosh you were up early sazz and have done exercise too! Respect

School run done off to my jazzle class in a bit

I woke up at 5.30 and couldn't go back to sleep so got up at 5.45 and was at my desk before 7!
Still made no discernible dent in the to do list though

Had lunch out but mixed salads of raw veg so felt pretty virtuous.

'Jazzle' still has me sniggering lol

Lol sazz good old body jam tomorrow

Well done on the good lunch out but boo for not getting through to do list.hope you sleep better tonight!

10 mins arms and abs

However, stepped on the scales and 11.10. Wtf??? I know I feel wobbly and podgy but that takes the biscuit

Would normally run on a Tues but have to work today. Double boo. Maybe just maybe I can get some motivation to run this eve...

Sazz I reckon your scales are very wrong, it's not possible to gain 5lbs in 5 days!

Well done for the exercise this am and fingers crossed you get to run tonight

Just did body jam and ache like I don't know what now

oh my god

got on scales at the gym tonight...11.5 st! What the fucking fuck, man :(

I hope some of that is period weight

Anyway, did an hour's weights and cardio and will go again either tomorrow night or Friday.

Does anyone here do kettlebells? I'm interested in giving them a go but not sure if they're suitable for someone with a dodgy back - there seems to be a lot of swinging up above head type movements, which I'm worried will knacker my back in an instant.

Onward and downward eh

I was omg at 11.5 cyst and then the scales went to 11.10. Fuck only knows where I'll end up tomorrow!

I've done kettle bells but they hurt my (weak) back. Trx is fantastic if you have one at your gym and soneone can show you how to use it.

No run but managed to do 10k steps so ok with that.

Nice jammin' LOTI

11.7 so sadly think scales are ok LOTI - appreciate your optimism though lol

Level 3 shred ticked off. Should be running today but car to garage, dd to docs and work deadline of 1pm will likely scupper that....

Well done cyst and sazz for the good exercisei am sure those pesky pounds will melt away very soon

Jazzle class again today and the instructor must of been on drugs as it was mental!!!!

Flaming heck, it's been a month since I last posted, but I'm still trying to be a hot mama!

I'm still doing the Davina 7 minute fit and I've now incorporated some swimming. I'm still doing WW, but i'm a bit hit and miss with that and I'm not seeing any discernable difference on the scales. My body does feel different though.

Its about 11.5 weeks until my abroad holiday = bikini time, and I'm still very determined to have done my best with regards making myself feel confident in the said bikini!
