New thread

Ended up at 1500 with the addition of a banana. No, the WW experiment has ended. I can see how it worked back then, but what a joyless miserable existence. It was a distraction from the misery, a different type of misery. Up .4 for no specific reason, in work since 7, no steps and no desire to get any. Started early in order to clock off early so I can visit family to be moaned at for 2 hours - I'm already feeling depressed I could do without it

Not look for body combat on you tube and picture a face to punch. Works wonders for the stress levels and give a bit of a lift too

not one of my faves on you tube is the fitness marshall. he's insane. but super fun. or a cheerleader dance workout.

been for a run and managed to run for 17 minutes straight. have never done that in my life before. yay!

Thanks guys, ended up having to reschedule visit as work got too busy. So that took a level of crappy out of the day. Had a cake that lifted my spirits, who says eating your feelings is bad! Of course it's not great when you're trying to lose weight but needs must. Have loads of body combat on the les Mills, love cardio boxing - loved it from my Davina days.
Brilliant to get 17 mins em, you're building stamina for sure.

Well done em! Such a great feeling.

I got up early today and did yoga before class, it actually put me in a really good mood. Waiting for DH to finish teaching (did I mention he is also a teacher?!) and then going for a walk to blow the cobwebs away.
I should really be preparing and planning the rest of the week’s lessons but all I can do is obsessively read the IVF boards and think about my transfer!

i feel like i've really achieved something with my run. i also felt like i was going to die at one point. oooh it was tough actually. i was meant to do 20 minutes (c25k week 5 run 3) but just couldn't do it. i was exhausted.

but 17 minutes is good for me.

where i'm aiming to be is lighter fitter and stronger. which will help with my main goal of getting back into showjumping again and competing. currently im working on my jump technique, confidence and positioning whilst riding, but need to work on stamina as when i've done a small course at speed in the riding lessons i've been exhausted!

You obsess away gen, I'd be exactly the same, how could you not be? Good for you doing the yoga, very zen.
On just under 7,000 steps. Quite busy today which I've enjoyed. Spoke to some people on the phone, it was soo nice just chatting to new people.

Aw Gen when we were 'trying' for 13 years l was obsessed it was reading all about 'miracle' pregnancies that kept me going sometimes really it was
Not l hope the visit goes ok
Em that is excellent you are doing brilliantly !
Life l have a few faces l would like to punch
You are all doing really well putting me to shame l must shift myself and do better !
Baked pots beans and cheese tonight one of my favourites

We are having heck chicken burgers (no buns as I forgot to buy them, DH is raging lol) with homemade wedges and salad. The progesterone is making me so drowsy, I can hardly stay awake!!

Rest up gen and fingers crossed for sticky transfer tomorrow.
Chipper chips for tea. Low on protein and huge on carbs. About 1-200 over as didn't weigh chips. Small tray thought

14222 steps

250 over and 11,000 steps - good enough for a down day. Sending massive positive vibes gen 🤞

Thanks everyone
15,909 steps today and yoga class this morning.
Food was good too. Weighing tomorrow before clinic as a base line, hope it will be 65 still or even 64.5. I wish I had started eating and steps etc a few weeks earlier than I did really. Ah well!

That's great for a down day not.
No matter gen, you are healthy now than you were. Ner mind the what ifs there in lies madness

Sts as yesterday. Could be worse

64.8! Pleased with that as a baseline.

i managed 8900 steps yesterday which wasn't a lot compared to normal.

the pilates almost killed me though. oh man it was tough. felt really good after it though.

this morning, i can barely move. the doms have set in....

toast with jam and an apple for breakfast. yum.

Nice one gen, that's lovely & light! Hope the procedure went/goes well - v excited for you
Seeing the flowers, I think I'll treat myself to some in Aldi, need to brighten up my humour

All done - the embryo defrosted beautifully and was top quality and already growing again. They said this one wants to get in there ASAP! They seemed to think it has a really good chance. we got to see it going in on the ultrasound, so amazing to see this tiny bright white dot settling in.

Everything crossed for you gen

Gen great news am hoping and praying for you sweetheart
Massive fail up ths morning , ate more cake at MumBobs

oh Gen i have everything crossed for you good luck with it all!

we hd toasted wraps and chips for lunch. by the seaside. yay. and will have something lighter for dinner.

That's so good that the transfer went so well gen, sending you all the positive vibes.
Changed into nice'ish workout gear in the hope it makes working out easier! It's a bit of a struggle but I know I'll feel better once it's done. Had quite a large breakfast for lunch type thing, basin/sausage/toast pudding - so I should have loads of energy (snort!)

Started the workout at just over 8,000 - and at 1480 cals, did 30 mins body combat & a 45 min jog on the treadmill, 18,000 and now at 2150! Blinking delighted. That might make room for dessert later😉

Great work not
15300 here. Doing very well u til I had 3 cookies warm from the oven. Needed to clear out the freezer still
