Getting fitter and trimmer

muneeymaker

Hello All,It all went downhill since my last post.Jeeze where has my willpower gone,just too greedy I expect.Walked 40mins around the field,enjoyed it, listening to my music and the sun shining.Defrosted some raspberries last night so I'll have some museli and a muller vanilla yoghurt, and a chopped banana shortly,not really hungry yet.Well just watching hubby doing some weeding for a change,just went to see where he was and he's talking to the neighbour,talk about us women!!Be back later,need some positive vibes :-)

tori - your day out sounds lovely.

Sharon - hope your knee gets better soon, I dread getting an injury. You could do light weights but lots of reps which would give you a bit of a cardio workout.

Stewby - draw a line under the weekend and forget about it.

Fmess - I will follow your challenge. 5 hours of exercise sounded a lot so I added up how much I do during the week and it came out at about 5 hours not including 5 hours dog walking.

I have been to the gym this morning and have done 20 minutes on the treadmill at varying speeds and inclines but all of it was running/jogging, then 10 minutes rowing and 10 minutes on a spinning bike at high resistance. I will do 30 minutes cycling after tea and have also done 45 minutes dog walking.

Today's menu

B/F Oats so simple, soya milk.
Phase 2 after gym - slice seeded bread with flora and marmalade, coffee.

Lunch - 2 slices white bread, gammon, flora, fruit and yoghurt.
Tea - HM lamb curry from yesterday with rice.

Snacks - fruit and squash.

SW saw me with 1/2LB gain it was pointed out that every 4th week I have a slight gain but that's beside the point i'd been pretty good this week :mad:

My challenge will be mostly a mix of everyone elses

1 5 hours of exercise (currently do 3hrs)
2 no refined sugar
3 bed before 10PM..may even get to enjoy that one
4 lose at least 2LB
5 Not reward myself with food but treat myself with a pamper session, EG..paint my nails or a undisturbed soak in the bath..good luck to me getting that one

somyagilberts small changes are easier to make habits then big ones start small even if it's just replacing a chocolate bar with an apple or rep's with a couple of 500ml water bottles over weights, I often have to drag myself out the door to a session but I know once i've started I'll have a great time and it gives me a real energy boost by the end of it.

hello to all the new faces look forward to hearing your progress good luck everyone keep trucking

Jumping on the challenges bandwagon....

This week I shall:
- eat 6+ veg per day
- consume no added sugar
- do 4 sweaty workouts
- get to bed before 10pm

And then we hit half term .

I've eaten my veggies and kept off the sugar. The workout is scheduled for tomorrow and I'm off to bed very soon!

5 colleagues have joined me so far in the challenge to lose weight - am so chuffed!

Looks like you've started something there

Today food wise was;

Breakfast - two slices of toast
Snack - grapes
Lunch - leftover mash potato and salad and yoghurt
Dinner - bolognese mince and vegetables

Great day until someone gave me a box of chocolate orange this evening! Ate many of them But that's my chocolate part of the challenge over for the week

Had grapes, salad, peas, tomatoes and mushrooms today, although maybe not enough mushrooms to call it a portion. So 4.5 portions of fruit or veg today

No exercise today, although this was partially expected. Hoping to drag myself on an early morning run tomorrow.

Night all

Morning... well... it isn't too bad a day here in stewby-ville. Official weigh day today and I only gained 1lb despite eating atrociously bad.
:eek:

Back on the wagon today and just as determined as before so the crossing of fingers are not required (although I am going to anyways).


Hope everyone is doing okay.

Yesterday, had my 5 portions of fruit & veg, ate well, no little extras;). Was in bed a little later than planned but only by around 15 minutes.
