I haven't been to the gym for 2 days, as the kids have been home from school with a tummy bug, and I haven't been feeling too good myself either.


Off to work in a minute, then hopefully off to the gym this evening

Evening all :wave:

Hope you're having a good week!



It'll be...interesting...my mum has a tendancy to be competitive, as do I

My gym is currently closed due to renovation work, so haven't been able to go (not that I've felt like going anyway). Race for Life is only a couple of weeks away now so need to do more training! I can run for about 20 mins with a little break, but that's only half the course

Starting my new job on Monday! Exciting, but nervous too. I've got the rest of the week off to prepare myself. I used to wear a uniform so now I have to find clothes to wear to work :shocked:

I've decided to give SW a go (not going to the group, but just following the diet at home) which I'll start next week. I'll be getting an hour for lunch, which means I can walk home, eat, then walk back to work I'm hoping this will stop me from buying loads of junk food/wasting money in the restaurant and shop we have in our building.

You dont need to run it all. I dont think Ive ever run a race for life from end to end. My best time is about 35 mins but Im absolutely not a runner.

Ive got a qualification in fitness pilates. Theres very little difference between that and pilates, they just cant call it pilates as the training is only 2 days long.

Im actually booked into someone elses fitness pilates class tomorrow as Im currently as stiff as a board and my flexibility is shockingly bad.

Afternoon All


Still haven't made it to the gym, that's 3 days! I am still not feeling great, and both the kids are still not well either.


I miss the gym- I never thought I would say that!


I have been eating OK though, so at least that's 1 thing! Although, saying that, we are having Pizza tonight as I am shattered from work and its hard doing a physical job when you don't feel well.


I am going to have tomorrow off the gym too, and then hopefully i'll feel better by Saturday, so I can get back to my workouts.


I am also looking forward to the fitness pilates on Monday.


How is everyone else doing?

A run for me tomorrow morning I have also started walking to Liverpool street for my overhead train rather than take the underground. It's about 1.5 miles also am going to be taking the stairs a lot more at work (am on the fourth floor).
I know it doesn't sound like much but am trying to incorporate my exercise into my daily routine as I am not able to make use of my local gym anymore

Thanks FT for the well wishes. I just have to make it through work today and then I have the weekend off, oh I feel rough!


Anyway, no point moping!

I'm joining this thread please!

I've only read the first page but I only joined the gym at the end of May. I've not exercised for years but I'm really enjoying it.

I'll read the rest of the thread and post properly later.

Completed my run this morning, actually starting to enjoy it now. it also makes me feel :A for the rest of the day. Have bought a dress to attend a wedding in late July but the next size down and am using this as my drive to keep going. This usually happens on a Friday morning when my alarm goes off at 5.50am :exclamati

Hello lovelies!

Was sadly out of action at the beginning of the week - after Monday's barbell workout I had a severe asthma attack - my first in 15/16 years! Very frightening

Having been piled with meds I tried a gentle workout with the cheerios last night and managed OK, so going to do a bit of rowing and some dumbbells tonight.

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
