Aug 08 Hot Mamas - we are losers and we are proud!

[hotterpotter]

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

Well done on the loss ALBS

I must confess to an awful weekend as i was so hacked off after weighing. I am currently in uncontrollable freefall , and am eyeing up the girls pizza as i type

Also no swim for me today as we had visitors for lunch but i am going to pilates as DH has just phoned to say he will be home in time. Will try and reverse this mindset with a gym session tomorrow but i suspect i may go shopping instead as i am not feeling the vibe.

Please someone come and kick me. Preferably quite hard......

i know all about uncontrollable freefall. that was what a) got me to the point where i was technically obese, and b) what has got me 10lb back up on my june weight.

you CAN do it. Heck, you HAVE done it. maybe just cut yourself some slack for a few days - factor in some treats so you don't feel the despair at needing to eat random crap?!

well done ALBS..

C'mon crispy girl you can do it! Hoping you made it to pilates tonight to give you some good vibes for gym tomorrow..

i must confess that i am also totally hacked off.. i have been exercising really hard, eating well with v v limited treats and my weight is constantly going up and up and up ..

today i have done school run twice with double buggy 20km and 100 sit ups..

ok so today i have walked school run and went home long way round

walked back to school for toddler group that has been cancelled so walked long way home again via shops

20km on bike and sit ups with dd2

now i have to go and do school run AGAIN.. with all this exercise i should be losing losing losing losing, considering i have not snacked at all!!! HOWEVER this is not the case.. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Loti you must be building muscle like nobody's business! Do you feel more toned?

Had a good day, loads of walking, and exercised face muscles smiling laughing and chatting but being undone now with wine... Back and leg fine now so will start shredding again tomorrow, eek. 120 posts to lose many lb...

Do you think there will be ... on my gravestone???

do feel more toned hots but just heavy heavy heavy iykwim

I did my token bit of exercise. my walk to toddler group . tis only about 20 mins each way but is better than nothing. i lead such a sedentary drive since dd went to school - well gradually more so over the almost 4 years she has been there. sigh.

loti your energy puts me to shame.

The usual (sigh)... Hoping to go to the gym tom to mix it up a bit. Scales not going down either ( bigger sigh)

Afternoon

Thankyou for the kicks (and squeezes ). Much, much better few days with pilates monday, 5 mile walk/run yesterday and 3k and 10 mins powerplate today. Plus pushing/chasing toddlers round the zoo. Food going ok, but no weigh until friday and just hope for evens if no loss.

Good luck with mixing

{ha, just had to leave mid post as DD2 came in saying 'Mamma, i got wee wee on my socks' . Unfortunately not found the rest of the wee wee of which i am sure there was some }

Anyhoo, i digress, good luck with the mixing Loti, and make sure you are eating enough . Sadly i know that i have been

ALBS, how often do you go to toddler group? Can you commit to doing that walk at least twice a week? I may be 'token' but is a good start. I make myself walk to/from school unless torrential rain and it is the regularity of it which i think makes the difference

that one only once a week. the other one is just over the road in the church hall so not much use lol. i do walk around locally but nothing huge.

if i walked to and from school i would be very thin. and never home. lol. it is a 10 mile round trip now.

Well, could you drive to school in the morning, walk home, walk back to school for pickup and then drive home? 10 miles once a week would be fab. Weather like today would be just perfect too . Also means you would have to walk everywhere during that day too

Just walked to and from preschool, so 2.5 miles notched up. I will try and shred later (depending on work) and/or walk to preschool for pickup

Nail bitingly nervous about weigh in tomorrow

no nail biting here crispy unless a miracle occurs

didn't make it to the gym in between interview/making cakes for dd1/loaf for school coffee morning tom/housework..

so did the usual 20km and situps.. only one school run today too..

Really fancy a glass of wine tonight but shall refrain as have been so good all week

I am going to have a G&(S)T later. Has been a hectic day and walked another 2.5 miles. I reckon a 20k cycle and an interview warrants a glass of vino

no, it would mean leaving waaaaay too early (we leave at 7.45 as it is), dd would be knackered for school and... tis just too far.

No, you drive in and walk back home and then do it in reverse later. No impact on DD, just on your muscles

Next excuse.......

Woo woo. 4lbs off. Back to weight on 27 Aug. What has happened to September??

On the upside, DH has decided he wants to lose some weight . His reasons are slightly odd in that it is so he can wear a kilt and his mother has told him he is too fat atm to wear one . So, less issues with tempting me into a midweek vino, and i didn't even have a G&T last night.

4 exersazz completed this week and just remembered to book pilates for a week monday. May try and shred later but unlikely.

Also have just made some tomato, lentil and bacon soup for lunch and paprika beef & noodles for tea

How did the rest of you reprobates get on? VG are you still detoxing?

Fantastic crispy tho v v ..

only 1 sodding lb off ..

i have biked my heart out this week, completed the school run twice every day bar one when i only managed the home trip.. i have not snacked/drunk wine..

so so feckin frustrated

LOTI, 1lb off is pretty good when you are a slim jim anyway. I would bet your fat % has gone down and you are sporting rock hard (heavy) muscles

thx crispy still feeling pretty grrr about it.. was on ff all week and was within my calorie range every feckin day and exercising..

ho hum.. last 20km of the week done and sit ups..

so have biked 100km this week
100 sit ups
walked 16.2 miles with another 1.8 to go!!!

god i'm boring

Are you putting all your exercise onto FF as well?

Yes! and it is obv allowing me more calories so using some but not all of them iykwim.. been eating healthily and not too little either..

i think my body is gone into shutdown

loti very confusing. BUT 1lb is loss and not only 1lb at all. weigh out 1lb and see how much that is - q a lot!

on that note - i lost 1lb. phew back on the road to loss but still 8lb from my lowest yet and nearly 1.5stone to target .

well done albs.. i am not thinking about it this weekend.. too much on and i think i need a rest from working out being ultra healthy... pours a glass of wine and gets out the cheese

Well done on the 1lb ALBS. At that rate it is 3/4 stone by Xmas and that will come round very soon

Result here this morning in that i am down 1/4lb on Friday, Woo woo. Good week girls. Remember your water. That said, i am not going to pilates this evening as DH won't be back in time
