    I love team sports but since I had 3 operations to repair my messed up ankle (sporting injury) that is out for me - too much twisting and turning.
    I used to never feel like it was excercise, I just loved it so much. But then I am quite competitive (very actually) and have always been sporty so I know team sports aren't for everyone.

    I used to play LOTS of football. I used to be really sporting and picked up most sports really easily.

    I got athritis in my foot (big toe ball joint), an old footie injury, and haven't played since. I'm off to play work 5 a sides at half four today....Nervous but hopefully noone stamps on my foot. Should be fun!

    I like team sports aswell... one thing that used to keep me ultra fit was diving.. it was brilliant! Scuba diving that is :) Carry two tonnes of gear everywhere certainly builds up your muscles and burns fat..

    I should get back into it really

    Always wanted to try diving. I'd get eaten by a shark though. I would hear the chello everytime my head went under the water!

    Footie is my sport too, and yes I am a girl (quite a girly one at that!) dangerous game though!

    thanks for all your advice but i think i will do what i originally planned, with a break on wedsneday
    i only have 2 hours per morning , then thing 3 comes home, OH works away all week so i cant do nights and the weekend is for the family, so thats all i got
    i would love to be able to go back to netball, but heyho cant be helped, i will post on howi get on as ive never been to one before

    and as for dog walking....my kids are all the animals i will allow in my house lol
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Well I have had a right wobbler of a weekend, out Fri and Sat and drank around 18 pints, 4 double vodka redbulls and maybe 8 cans. One was a mates birthday and the other was "a couple" with my dad which turned into the pair of us coming in with very wobbly knees :beer:
    Getting back on it now and staying in for a weeks to start the reveloution again, just wish it was easy to do things as much as it is the say them :D

    OUCH!!

    Played my footie last night and nearly crippled myself - Damn athritic big toe. How old do I feel...Lesser men would've cried;)

    I dragged myself out of bed this morning and hit the gym at 6 for a weights session with 30 minutes cardio. Off to the gym again at lunchtime for 45 minutes cardio and if the weather holds out - Off for a run after tea tonight.

    Managing to stay away from crap food and been of the ale since....rofl...Sunday!
