Lose Weight 24

Went for the easy option tonight and did Core Stability, although i did hoover the whole house today so i guess that counts too FFM, did i see you doing your toning exercises in the other room?

HHA Result: 30 mins Core Stability

HHA Result: 25 mins RC Toning, followed by about 5 mins skipping in the dark garden

5 minutes was enough, I do trip up alot though. With double jumps I got to 97 before tripping up, probably my best since growing up.

Which you can usually pick up for 50p at charity shops or boot fairs - the photos of the exercises do help work out what you should be doing.

Hello! Well done for all the weight everyone is losing!

I'm just dropping in to report that I woke up with very sore calves from jogging yesterday and only managed about 20 mins cycling this morning. However, this evening I did my resistance band workout for about 20 mins so now I've had quite enough for one day - ouch!

Eating wise, not too good. I ate far too much bread at breakfast and lunchtime because OH brought me a massive lovely baguette home last night and I hate waste so I felt under pressure to eat lots of it before it went stale! By the afternoon I was feeling so stodgy after having bread with my breakfast and bread with my soup at lunch, that I was seriously craving some veggies. Pleased to report I had no bread at all for tea!
