Thread: Growing a mini me hopfully minus a million lbs

Sounds like a good solution to me

Clair, how long will you be working out when you go to the gym ?
Your plan to have a low carb meal on gym days does sound like a good idea.
Although, I have to say, I dont have a meal - unless its a planned WS day - when I go to curves .
But then again that is only 30 mins
I would say most of the days I go to curves are TS for me.
Also, I am not sure how strenuios your gym will be for you, so a meal on gym days will be good for you.
I have been going to curves before Exante, and I didn't see any need to stop, going to curves, when I started Exante, so I didn't. .
If I had felt ill at all, I would have stopped and ate, but I haven't
Although, thinking about it, maybe the pickles and olives have been helping me along the way

I dont think your 60 day challenge is a failure, as you are still going to be doing it.
Was exercise part of your 60 day challenge ?
Regardless if it was or not, your body and your heart will thank you for exercising, as will your mind .
And you are forming new, good for you habits that will be easier to sustain, the sooner you start

Hiya Marge.

I'll be exercising for an hour, 3 times a week and he said I'll be burning 500 calories a session.
I'm gonna go tomorrow and try it out first off all and if it's a bit much I'll either make gym day WS or knock the cardio off and just do the weights
I'm feelin loads better about it today.
Exercise wasn't part of my 60 day challenge so I'm changing the rules a little.
Instead of 60 days TS I'm doing 60 days exante style as longs I get to goal what does or matter how I've got there eh?

Just read your diary. If WS days are easier for you then maybe yeh that is the way to go. But...... Your doing fine by mixing it up a bit so why change??? Xxx

Just had my first shake and already drunk 2 litres of water. Who's a clever girl? Lol xx

Not easy paperwork either, I've gotta do a service user key-worker meeting, care plans and start a bloody review. Oh and finish off my NVQ for Monday!!!! Ooops I must get things done as they come up!!!
Looks like an easy night diet wise, I'll not even have time to think about food xx

Well you cant fail at something if the rules have been changed, can you
And to be honest, I believe that the rules have changed for the better, to include exercise
Your Exante styleee will work chick, so just crack on with it, and you will get there

Aye, you are right... it is working just now, so I am not going to try and fix it yet , and will continue TS with the odd WS days thrown in

Oh, and yes, I did need to read something ... and I found it on your diary... so here is my version of it
"I want to be slim more than I want wine ! Or olives "

Marge

AKA Olive
