Thread: Valentines Challenge 2009?

i was going to step tomorrow but have to work instead. Does anyone else struggle with lots of exercise while SS'ing. I will go to gym on tues morning before work then step on wed then that will be enough for this week while I'm getting back into it

I think the key Jayne is to start small and build up. If you try to start from little or nothing to 3-4 sessions per week then you won't be able to maintain it over any substantial period of time. Maybe try doing 1 session one week, then 2 the next week for a couple of weeks, then 3 sessions etc.

I'm new, but would love to join in! Just the motivation I need to get going. I hope to lose 10lbs by Valentines Day. I've added myself to the list (hope that's ok).

of course that's ok

thanks shelbell, I know what you mean, after i'd lost my 6 stone on LL I was going to step or bums legs and tums 4 times a week and if there was no class on then I went to the gym, I felt fantastic and walked or cycled the 2 miles to and from work on the other days,it became a bit of an obsession for a while
Then I let it all slide the healthy eating , the exercise and although like I said Ive never been back to quite where I was I was a good 3 1/2 to 4 stone over my goal.

I want to do it properly this time, I go hillwalking a lot and when I was sole sourcing in sept I went on an 11 mile hill walk and was really ill, fainting, sick, and dizzy, I was resuscitated with a snickers bar and a corned beef and pickle sarnie and still stayed in ketosis.

I'm reluctant to not go hill walking but talked to my CDC who suggested I get out of ketosis a couple of days before but I find it so hard to get back on.

I'll chat to the other SS about what they do I think and take your advice and go once this week to a class then twice for the next 2-3 weeks. it will be the end of jan then and I'll be dead motivated for my valentines goal/ I'm not far off my 10th jan goal
its really hard to keep it up isn't it
