OK, during the last thread I managed to lose the grand total of...nothing in fact I am a few pounds up [sigh]

Have lost maybe an inch from bust waist and hips so that is something I guess, but I will not be in the same position at the start of the next thread. Sazz Someone give me a stern talking to

CrispyTheCrisp · 05/09/2010 09:21

No shredding, but lots of blackberrying, so was carry a heavy bucket Hmm

Well done Hots & LOTI, gold stars for you both Smile

Food not so bad - ended up picking yesterday so didn't have a normal 'big' dinner which was good

Roast chicken today though. Yum Smile

luckoftheirish · 05/09/2010 15:22

VintageGardenia · 05/09/2010 16:41

Well done everyone! Sazz v Envy of your blackberrying, by your FB status you must have picked TONS!

I didn't shred yesterday as spent whole day assembling flatpack furniture Hmm God it's a nuisance. Nice walk this am with ds2 though, and shred this eve.

CrispyTheCrisp · 05/09/2010 17:18

8lbs VG Smile

hotterpotter · 05/09/2010 22:47

Woo hoo shredded again Grin and I only had one bun despite there being a tin full of pink sparkly sugary treats in the kitchen Shock

Let's hope we all have a good week Smile

VintageGardenia · 06/09/2010 07:33

Hmm I have apparently put on half a stone since Friday Hmm Yes people seven pounds.

CrispyTheCrisp · 06/09/2010 08:27

LOL, good weekend VG Grin

I have no idea as i am in scales denial and period hell. However, i have the creche booked for before DD1's swim and pilates this evening so some attempt at starting the week well.

Hots, you are our shining example along with LOTI and we WILL follow......

oopsandbabycoconuts · 06/09/2010 09:33

I am still hiding away from the scales. Party season is now over so we are back on the straight andwide narrow.

hotterpotter · 06/09/2010 09:48

First time ever I actually weigh less on Monday than I did on Friday Grin OK it's only 0.25lb but it's the principle! Could murder a bun now but staying strong...

OP posts:
luckoftheirish · 06/09/2010 12:34

i am also in period hell crispy but me and dd1 off to do exercise dvd in a mo Grin

vg 7lbs?? i had that a couple of weeks ago, still not off but drank massives of water and seemed to help.. def only a temporary blip..

hots well done on the weigh i am in hiding til fri Blush

hotterpotter · 06/09/2010 13:34

VG Shock but stick with the water and you'll surely wee it all out in a couple of days (unless you have been eating lard butties all weekend...)

Hope you and DD had fun exercising Loti. Whenever I've tried that I have ended up under a pile of DC whenever I have to get on the floor Hmm

Sazz hope you got a good swim in too. I haven't been for ages and may try again on Friday if I am not broken by Jillian by then.

Oops just keep bfing and you'll be narrow before you know it Grin

luckoftheirish · 06/09/2010 13:40

dvd went suprisingly well, dd1 loved but got a bit tired and watched me from the bed for a bit Grin

cyteen · 06/09/2010 13:44

jotter that's what happens when I try and exercise with DS around, he thinks I am some sort of novelty climbing frame Grin

I am still making an effort to eat/snack less/better and am drinking a LOT less booze, which is good in all ways. Lent my Shred DVD to a friend so need to get it back, but at least I did 8 minutes of push ups/arm weight exercises while waiting for my boiled eggs to cook Hmm

cyteen · 06/09/2010 13:44

lol @ 'jotter' Blush Some sort of jogging hybrid there, perhaps.

CrispyTheCrisp · 06/09/2010 17:36

Somewhat better than 'Hojjer' i feel though Cyteen Grin

DD1 is good at the butt kicks with Gillian and even some of the arm raises, however when i am doing press ups she climbs on top for a ride Hmm. DD2 is a nightmare, just getting under my feet.

Swam 50 lengths and was bloody hard work. Have not swum 'properly' for over 2 months Shock and i felt it. Off to pilates in a mo. Well, if i can make it through the gales and the rain Hmm

CrispyTheCrisp · 06/09/2010 20:07

Battled through and had a very good class. Think i managed everything with a bit of swearing

I have decided my exercise week looks like this:
Mon: swim & pilates
Tues: Walk to preschool (if weather good & not working), Gym (if weather bad and not working), shred (if working)
Weds: Gym (before DD2's swimming lesson
Thurs: Ditto Tues
Fri: Walk to preschool (weather good), shred (weather bad)

SO, have i covered all bases? Confused

hotterpotter · 06/09/2010 20:18

Rain has arrived now, thanks for that Sazz. Shredded at lunchtime and that plus 2.5 miles altogether to and fro to school and a trip round the supermarket means I am ExerSazzed for today. Good job really cos we had pizza and chips for tea Blush as a treat for DD after her first day.

Am at my new names today, thanks Grin

Your exercise routine looks evil great Sazz I am just sticking to the shredding for now and seeing what happens. Have done 5 in the last 6 days so pretty chuffed so far, and the 20 30 minutes soon whizz by.

You do look gorgeous in your new fb profile cyteen, although can only see your face you do look v slim. Not log till you're married and can let it all hang out again Wink

luckoftheirish · 07/09/2010 07:11

ye gods crisp thats immpressive!!!

too much snacking done last night Blush..

going to try and fir biking in aroud teacher's visit, lunch for dds and going to dublin til thurs Hmm

CrispyTheCrisp · 07/09/2010 08:20

LOL LOTI there are a lot of 'or's' in my list Grin

Just off to walk to preschool whilst weather permits

luckoftheirish · 07/09/2010 09:23

hope u managed your walk crispy!

Have managed 17km on bike so far whilst kiddies watched tv ate brekkie, hoping to manage the other 3km before we leave Smile

CrispyTheCrisp · 07/09/2010 09:29

Yes, walked 2.5 miles in beautiful sunshine. Just lovely Smile

I think battling through an airport with 2 littlies will make up for it if you don't manage the other 3km!!

luckoftheirish · 07/09/2010 11:27

your walk sounds heavenly crispy Smile..

managed my 3km and an extra 5.. so that is 25km today hurrah Grin
