Getting fitter and trimmer

getcarter

Not a bad day, couldn't cycle as couldn't get bike out of garage but did the 50 Day Shred for the first time in well over a year! first time my back has felt well enough to take it on! So pleased with my body behaving at the moment, obviously want to tone up/lose weight but am able to do it now!
Ate OK too, not even going to touch the store cupboard question though!

A hour's cardio done tonight in the gym altho gutted as it looked such a fun kettle class tonight , so booked myself on for next week will rep out with a lighter weight and see how I go.

Food not to bad today.
Bfast was a small cantaloupe melon and a slice of cheese (it was sat in the fridge looking lonesome)
Lunch mushroom omelette & beans
Tea cheese salad sandwich, apple and chocolate milk.

Shower and to bed for me, Night all.

Can I join? I am lucky because I dont really need to loose weight but now in my mid-forties I could do with getting fitter and toning up. Up until a year ago I was running regularly and doing bits of cycling and long dog walks. A change in job meant that it all ground to a halt and other than a bit of dog walking I dont do anything at all now. My diet could be better too.

Getting into summer clothes has made me realise there are flabby bits appearing but I need some encouragement!

Of course, the more, the merrier

The summer has this effect on me too and makes me conscious of the damage I do during the winter when I eat lots of carbs!

HI YORKSHIRELASS, it is amazing what we can hide under layers in winter

Deep breaths Fmess almost the end of term sounds like you and Apple muncher have a fair amount of stress going -on.

Beautiful weather today here already I hope you get your bike out GETCARTER so you can make the most.

Yoga for me tonight and I did a home quicky this morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0GT6daJg3o can't half feel it im not the best at early morning workouts, well TBH im not the best early morning person full-stop

Food today.

Bfast Strawberry's, pineapple, apples, banana's & blueberry's with Greek yoghurt.

Lunch Same fruit again with spinach, red pepper and feta cheese and balsamic dressing.

Tea plum tom's on wholemeal toast.

I got all excited with the fruit on offer over the summer months and bought far to much, really need to cut down the fruit and add more veg.

Have a great day everyone.

Jiggle Free day 3 took me 2 mins 07! So I then did her 5 min workout - twice! I know I have worked out! And am also trying to keep my step count high, which basically means that i am not sitting on my bottom, but moving!

Ate more breakfast so am not yet ravenous for my lunch - result! Half of today is teaching sixth form and I only have 1 student. He is working on writing about Monet and Impressionism, so it's an easy day so far! However, off to do year 8 reluctant latin in 5 mins...

Welcome aboard. I live in Yorkshire too. No excuse to not get your bike out this weekend, its blooming mental round here gearing up for Saturday.

I have been to the gym this morning, I did, 15 minutes on the treadmill, jogging on the flat to start then uphill, then 2000m on the rowing machine, crunches, russian twists with a 4kg medicine ball and proper sit ups, then 10 minutes HIIT on the treadmill.

I will walk the dog but not quite as long a walk as usual due to work.

Constantly hungry.

Cant fully exercise at the moment either.

Hello aggypanthus. For me, the 100g cheese really does make a difference! My breakfast is currently about 200g cottage cheese + 20g ground almond + 3g cinnamon. This fills me up, but I eat it at 6am, so by 10am (if not before!) I'm hungry. I bring the cheese to work and can eat it here before the kiddies arrive. Then at breaktime (11am) I have an apple + almonds. Then lunch at 1.

Ha ha! Reading that through, it must seem like I never stop eating! :rotfl:

Btw I teach French and Spanish and have done Latin since Christmas to years 5-9. Am happily not continuing with the Latin in September.
