Aug 08 Hot Mamas - Everybody was ExerSazzin', their thighs no longer flabbin'...

[hotterpotter]

Here we are, thanks Cyteen for the excellent title although it's slightly false advertising on my part

Aw shucks, thanks guys

Well done on the buffet hots - i'm sure turning down food (especially when it is mass catered and lukewarm/going slightly stale is much easier)

I am now going to have to try and be good tomorrow night. I have ordered baked salmon for my main course which is great (and tbh the only thing i fancied) but cheese for pud

Glad to hear you are back on board and fighting fit VG. Have you found another 10k race to aim for?

Had two glasses of wine after work and a few crisps but whereas before I would have eaten ritzy biscuits and peanuts two I just had about 10 crisps and no more. Plus I have done another 16 miles tonight so feeling pretty virtuous

Oh, no swimming after all on Friday because, since the Christmas lunch is cancelled, my kind boss has offered me Friday afternoon off work so I can go to DD's carol 'singing' at nursery, hurrah

Well done on the 16 miles hots, i managed to squeeze in 50 lengths this morning before DD2's lesson

No Exersazz at the gym for me tomorrow as i am getting my hair cut, coloured and blow dried for my works do tomorrow night. Am hoping they do not recognise me . I may try and go for a walk with DD1 to the library if i have time after mucho hidying before PIL visit

Creche for swim booked on Fri and i will walk to preschool Fri so not all bad

Oh and so well done to you on the crisp front - real willpower, but feels good i'm sure

Seem to have had a brain weigh-in malfunction yesterday morning as I reported that I was back to Friday's weight despite having been 0.75lb down on Tuesday anyway I am 0.75lb down on Friday's weight today with a 2l bottle of fizzy water on my desk to get through before I go home in the hope of weeing another pound or so out

Have already done 3x ExerSazzes this week so just one more to go. I have also found my perfect cycling album which is Flight of the Conchords as it is nice and fast and I can sing along while I am cycling. The neighbours must be wondering what on earth i am doing

Have fun at the hairdressers today Sazz

Just been into the meeting room and there are loads of crisps, biscuits, buns and mince pies left over from the after-work drinks yesterday... I am really hungry... I love buns... I didn't have one

have made & iced over 50 buns since last night and haven't eater ONE, not ONE has passed my lips either Hotter - quite the achievement for me

I even gave myself a row when I liked icing off the spoon out of habit and immediately rinsed all the other ones (3 lots of flavoured icing leaves a lot of spoons!) so that was my fail safe as nobody likes soapy icing

off to finish off the buns and crack on with something useful

Oh well done Dizzy I am a terrible spoon/bowl licker so appreciate the self-restraint involved there

Thanks too because you've reminded me I need to nip into the market to see if they have edible glitter, not sure if that's too cosmopolitan for Leeds market but we'll see...

Well done ladies on bun restraint and dizz for giving yourself a good talking to weirdo

Hots, i did pick up on your 0.75 up and down but i stayed schtum as i was fearing being called an accountant pedant as usual

well ladies, not as exciting as Sazz's news but I MADE IT TO THE GYM!!!! now it was just for an introductory chat but it was fine and I was weighed and I'm actually another pound down

I haven't joined though - and don't slate me just yet - they wanted £30 joining fee, £29 for the rest of the month and £29 every month after. Without making excuses, tomorrow is the last day of school/childminder so after Mon they're only open reduced hours and DH is working SO I'm not forking out £29 for 2 weeks when I can't use them I hope thats ok? I've been weighed/mesured and had a quick induction and met two of the girls so I will be going back and I know you lot will hold me to it

right, off to make some white chocolate and cranberry cookies - more presents, not for us

oh and I didn't tell you I was going today incase it all fell through again and you thought I was at it

Don't be a dafty lass Well done for going at all, and I agree it would be madness to pay a whole month's fees for a few days of December. Yay for another pound off too, they all add up

I have had two roses chocs today but that has been my only indulgence. I'm sure the hour I spent traipsing round town at lunchtime has used them up too. Biking tonight if I can be arsed then weigh in tomorrow morning, eek. Have had 2l of water today so hoping for a bit of goodish news in the morning

oh well done on the water Hots, I really need to up my act on that I've got 10 coming round tomorrow night and mucho to make for it but shall try to keep my fingers out of the pot again not promising anything re the vino though as I haven't a christmas night to go to and am feeling a touch deprived

Hell's bells Dizz we are all allowed a free pass on a Friday night I will be getting drunk and eating crisps make no mistake!

Don't know if I'm just tired or what but have got a splitting headache now ExerSazz cancelled tonight in favour of a quick cuppa then bed I think.

Sazz I hope you have had a fab time tonight without eating all the cheese

Good luck for the morning all

Another 0.25lb off making 1lb down in total. Am a bit disappointed if I'm honest, but just got my period this morning so that might have made a bit of difference. Still, it's down not up so I am [fhappy]

Sorry about the less than hoped for loss potsy, probably the period accounts for both that and your headache. Excellent on the water front, a reminder to me to keep my act together on it too.

Sazz my slimline superhero hope you had a great night .

dizzy well done on the gym visit! I think probably you would be frustrated as hots said if you joined now and couldn't make use of it. Also I think it would be worth asking them to waive the joining fee - no harm in asking - these days I think people are nearly expecting it. When I joined my new gym a few (3? 4?) months ago they were willing to waive the joining fee. I have really missed it the last weeks, I am absolutely gagging for a run, which shows how it establishes itself, most surprisingly, as a need rather than an enforced burden iyswim.

Have zero appetite at the moment but as ds1 breaks up today & my mum back with us there is cooking required!

After my 3 week plateau, 4lbs off.

I am now 10.11 and will be very chuffed indeed if i can maintain this and come in under 11 for 2010. Not too bad last night (small portions and omce i had evicted the goats cheese from my plate i was left with two tiny pieces of cheese

Sorry to hear of the small loss Hots, it is so frustrating when it happens for weeks on end and you are being very good. Once the dreaded period is gone, hopefully the scales will tell a different story

Dizzy - never ever pay the joining fee. I would almost guarantee that in Jan they will have a New Year 'sale' special with no joining fee. My gym have just sent out fliers for recommending friends for free. Well done on going BTW and i don't blame you for not paying for this month

Off to walk to preschool soon and gym later as i am not allowed in the pool with my new hair colour for 48hrs

Ladies - I have led poor Dizzy into temptation and I apologise Please go easy on her it's all my fault!

Fess up Dizz

Walked 3k this morning and cycled 20k this afternoon. Ate one too many sausages at the party tonight, but no dinner, so am hoping it all evens out at some point

Bless me Hot Mammas for I have sinned, I was ted into temptation by thetiffindevil Oops and her deliveries of divine home baking - DH sacraficed himself and atemostofit shared it with me and there are still 3 bits left which shows a huge level of self restraint

I made white chocolate cheesecake and chocolate bannoffees for the buffet last night and ate none of it - I did however down a ridiclious amount of champers (and I blame Mr Sazz for that) and am pleased to announce that stepping on the scales I've remained the same

now to redeem myself I'm having paracetamol and flumps for brekker

Well done you on swerving the cheesecake and pie, although it may have been useful for soaking up alcohol . My sneaky weigh in showed +1 but that's fine given the extraordinary blip loss on Fri

ladies, have to confess, I had to have, and I mean HAD to have 3 tins of Irn Bru to get me through the day - I went to the chemist for the less calorific neurofen plus option but it was shut I mean what fecking chemist shuts at 12:30 on a Sat?!?!!?!? so 3 tins of irn bru (my first in years) for the caffine hit that was necessary and a mini tub of ice cream - I wouldn't have coped at all

homemade soup for tomorrow

ROFL dizz, you are one lady suffering . Sorry . I have some Nurofen plus here but that's probably no help

I have had mushroom risotto tonight (with lashings of butter and parmesan) and cheese and biscuits for dessert. Yummy, but bad. So back on it tomorrow and just enjoying the lingering taste of cheese in my mouth

sounds delicious

1.5lb on this morning. Not too bad as very little water consumed and been ok, but not brilliant food wise over the weekend

I have canx my visit to my friend this afternoon/overnight as the roads are a bit dodgy and more snow forecast today and tomorrow. So i will either bike at home today or go for a swim and then gym tomorrow. Not sure when/if other 2 ExerSazz will be completed this week
