Join us on the stairs

I think I will... tomorrow.

DH & DS's wont quite know what to make of me if I start running up and down tonight

Well, checked the scales today and I have reached a new low! Had been jumping around within the space of 4 pounds for the last few weeks (am good, lose a pound but if I am naughty then gain one or two pounds) but today have gone a pound under.

To celebrate, I have just had a go at 30ds - 1st time in about a week, I've been so busy. Gone back to level 1 just to get back into it. Will probs pick up level 2 tomorrow as I don't want to knacker my knee again and there's more aerobic excercise on level 1. Wanted to stop 10 mins in but thought of zumba and kept going!

MU - yup, free weights are dumbbells, barbells and the like. Machines tend to isolate one muscle and you lose all your stability muscles by using them too much.

I had an AMAZING workout last night! 85kg deadlifts, 75kg squats, 55kg bench presses and when I stretched, full splits on my right leg! I was bouncing so much I ran a km as well haha!

How was zumba xXMessedUpXx? I'm going tonight. Our class is only 45 mins and I wish it was an hour!! lol Going out for dinner afterwards though so gonna undo any good I do :(

Money maker: have you a target or are you just trying to stay the weight you are? I think I'm about the right weight, although I do 'fluctuate' OH and SIL think I'm too skinny. But nobody else does?? :huh: Don't get that at all!

Good for you heartbreak_star :T Exhausted just reading that!! lol :D

Try and go on how you feel and dress size rather than weight when I was a size 8 in my teens I was still 9.5st...I knew size 12 people that weighed that lol.

Thank you HAW - I'm away LARPing this weekend so hopefully lots of running about there gonna try and squeeze in a quick gym sesh in the morning!

That's the thing! I do feel better about myself. I don't cringe when I look in the mirror. I can wear stuff now I'd never have worn before. I don't shy away quite so much if we stop in the street to chat to someone OH knows. I eat like a horse more often than not, and do eat loads of crap too, so I know my 'diet' is healthy enough. Think it's the walking that's done it for me Just grates on me how OH keeps saying I'm too skinny! To the point I find it upsetting

Ummmmmm LARPing?? What's that??

I eat more now than I ever have and I'm still losing size think it's the exercise and cutting out pasta and bread which I used to eat LOADS of

Ah gotcha! Fair play to you! I'd be hopeless at that! I did Drama/Theatre Studies for GCSE and A-Level, and managed to fail the acting part of it!! :rotfl:

heartbreak_star

Oh bless you! It's much easier than real acting, plus you get to get drunk and bop people
