Lose Weight 24

mambury

well done Raph!

I went commando :rotfl: this morning and it was bloody hard work but I enjoyed it! I managed to run one lap to everyone elses 2 but I ran! I am so pleased with myself to manage such an improvement in one week. If I can keep up the improvement in my overall fitness then I I shall start running by myself as the evenings draw out.

My legs have started aching already so I can tell tomorrow will be a killer at work!! All in the name of the perfect bod! Well not perfect but less quilted.

I did slip up with a McD's after being hassled by the kids but I didn't eat all of it and I had small tea to make up for it.

check in again tomorrow!

I've tried to be extra good today. TOTM is brewing, and I really don't want it to impact too much on my next weigh in. I'm not suffering from the 'munchies' with it this month, which is a bonus.

I had a brisk walk across town to the supermarket first thing, so I was huffing and puffing my way there. I was certainly warm by the time I walked into Sainsburys, despite the cold wind. I bought lots of healthy food, but it seemed to cost me £100! It's not all for me, mainly the rest of the family, but it's clearly the meat that whacks up the cost. I'm tending to eat more vegetarian options at the moment, as the calories tend to be less, but I still find it filling.

I started the day with porridge, and tried a new soup for lunch; chicken noodle, which was really quite gross, but I couldn't face wasting it, so ate it anyway. It's only redeeming quality, despite tasting awful, was that it was barely 100cals a tin! Oh how I would have loved to have had a big bacon baguette that I'd made for the rest of the family though! Too early in the diet campaign to stand one of those right now. I treated myself to a snack of natural yogurt with cooked apples and a sprinkling of mixed spice. Now that WAS yummy!

Dinner was a quorn grill with mixed veg.

The children have comandeered the Wii today, so no chance of getting on. I will barge my way in tomorrow for a session of step and balance at least!

BTW Raph, I forgot to congratulate you on your accomplishment of becoming debt free. Wonderful news! Well done!

Marion, I do love that pic of your Charlie. What breed is he? He's got the cheekiest faces, although by the sounds of him, he's not quite so fragrant today as he was! I definitely think furniture moving is equivalent to a brisk walk - it always exhausts me, and my muscles the following day don't half ache!

ffm - muscle definitely weighs more than fat. I have some body fat/water scales too, and I know they recommend that you weigh yourself towards the end of the day for a better reading for your water, etc., as you dehydrate overnight. The downside is that I'm always heavier later in the day. My OH uses them too, as he is trying to gain muscle mass, and his BMI is very low anyway at only 18 for a 13 stone 6' man. He has found his fluctuates quite a bit though, so his BMI has been close to 15, has then gone back up to 19, but without gaining any weight, and not reducing his workout regime. Maybe try weighing yourself at the same time for a few days on the trot to see how they compare?

Hope we're all having a good weekend.

I dug out my old gym clothes this afternoon in preperation for my induction tomorrow evening. I couldn't even do the trousers up !!:eek: OH is out with his bad tonight so I put kids to bed and put my new Davina workout dvd on to try and combat this flab. The dvd is great, I've got her boxset she did a few years ago, this one is just as straight forward, I only did the basic workout and will try the other bits in the week.

Everyone seems to be doing really well and it's lovely to know I'm not alone :beer:
Off to dye my hair now and have a well deserved soak in the bath, the silence upstairs of the kids asleep and no hubby in the house is bliss!!

Evening all
nmm - I really enjoy the boxing on the wii fit , do you know of any similar types on DVD?
ffm - your scales must be fab to do all that, do they wash up too!?
Raphael - Fab news, well done - what an achievement.
BB - Your menus are always so good, you must have SW sorted. Do you have any ideas for some cheap weetabix that the kids won't eat?
Delly - well done on the house, here begins a new chapter in your life.

I managed 40 mins HHA tonight on the wii fit:

• step 10 mins
• boxing 12 mins
• jog/walk - 10 mins (does anyone else find it hard to jog on the spot?)
• Hoola - 5 mins
• Balance - 3 mins

Have worked all day tutoring, getting tests marked and writing reports, who says teachers have an easy job and I was up till midnight. I'm cream crackered but still have planning to do.

Thank you, I like that photo too! Charlie is a 2 1/2 year old Bichon Frise although I consider him the son I never had!:o:o:o I have had dogs before but honestly can not remember loving a dog as much as I do Charlie:o. Maybe its a sign of old age:p:D

Love
Marion

All of mine are boxing and kicking, the new Davina Super Body Workout has a kickboxing workout. The Vicky WOW one was pretty much all boxing with a few kicks, the Davina one i have has a cardio box section and Tae Bo is kickboxing too. I'm actually getting the new Davina one next week, cant wait :j Is it sad to look forward to an exercise dvd :rotfl:

Great improvising, if it works who cares :rotfl: Well done on your Wii minutes.

Found this controller grip dunno if it'll help you hold the remote easier. While searching for that i noticed a new game out soon for the wii called My Fitness Coach, might be appealing to some of you

That's strange I did exactly the same today ! Did 30 mins on the Wii and for the jogging found that the control kept sliding down my trouser leg. Ended up stuffing it between my boobies and hey presto it stayed in place! My OH burst out laughing and said there was probably a website for that!:rotfl: :rotfl:
