    Rups - are you hurting from the exercises you're doing, or have you had an accident/injury and that makes the exercise worse? Be careful anyway - I know it's bloody frustrating as I'm more than 2 months since my car crash but have realised my neck isn't that forgiving. Try to do different exercises so you're stiull doing something but not putting more strain on poorly parts

    Hi ellay. Hope your neck is OK. are you having some physio for it? Years ago I was hoping to train for a 5K run and hurt my knee in the gym. Ever since for years, it gave me hassle in the gym, so i went to see a physio and luckily the one I had at the gym was so nice, she actually made it better so I can still exercise. The thing is with the classes, I tend to ache differently each time. My h2b asks why i still ache esp if i do the same classes and i do wonder but it is the lactic acid pain rather than a sports injury (thankfully, touchwood. lol). I went for a LBT class on Tues and we did so many lunges that I am aching from that..When I do body pump, I ache too as we use weights while squating and I had just increased my weights. so I am always forever aching from the gym. was wondering whether to attempt a little jog today (i am not a runner but want to get into it) or just sit in a bath??? hmm decisions... I really do hope that your neck gets better. x

    I have had the most terrible, stresful and frustrating work day ever. Diet and healthy eating = out the window - I've needed chocolate to stop me killing people or crying.
    Gym = not a chance I had time

    My belly (((( . ))))

    How on earth did you manage to only eat 2 jaffa cakes?

    Cheers rups...yes I've got a couple more physio sessions but tbh I think I've just got to be a bit steady and not go mad in the gym, and actually DO the exercises the physio gives me. Oh and not spend so long on the PC!
    Slowlyfading...I'm with codemonkey (yes I'm still scared how much alike we think!!) I thought it was against the law to only eat 2 jaffa cakes....they are SO more-ish. Mind, many years ago when I first met my now-ex MIL she had some in and I'd not had any for a while. Me: 'Oh Jaffa Cakes, I love these, not had them in ages' (and then ate whole packet). Her (every subsequent visit): 'I've got you your favourites...there's 3 boxes, hope that's OK.' Funny how you can actually go off them after a few sessions almost being force fed them. Maybe that's a new diet approach...gorge so much we just can't face another one...!

    That is good slowfading.. :-)

    hang on in there codemonkey.. start again next week and if you crave something then have a bit or like ellay suggested, we should eat so much of it, that we feel sick. Haha i like that idea!! :0)

    I tried to be good, and had a big lunch of pasta with vegetables, and topped up with a pepsi max. ouch.. the gas of it all made me sooo full that I felt sick.. Then to make myself feel more full, I went and bought myself a treat (dont ask why?) from Pauls. I love those evil palmiers they do.

    So, at my desk I had that and later a little flapjack!!! Is it because I am about to come on, i dont know but like you codemonkey i wanted to kill everyone in my office, esp two guys who i sit next to that have very bad habits!!! grrrrr

    am feeling grumpy..

    after having a nice dinner of chicken/peas in mushroom soup with rice, i didnt finish it, and now am hungry and craving naughty things!!!

    should go to bed and forget about it, but i have job hunting to get on with, so thats annoying me too.. anyway hope you ladies had a good evening. :o)

    another bad day already... am not liking this week! currently have a weird haeadache at work. ate well in the morning but we had a 1.5 hour long boring meeting and I didnt want to go, so after that, had my lunch at a slightly earlier time and then went for a stroll, only to come back to have 2 mini flapjacks and then a packet of crisps!!! aggghhh. I have no control at the mo. am wondering whether to join weightwatchers so can control myself. I only have 2 months to my first fitting! at this rate, they might need to open up the dress rather than take it in!!! slightly panicky! aghhh.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend. I cant be bothered this weekend. :0(
