Thread: Exercise, Getting back on track

It's strange how it does one sensor at a time, previously it was the arm one, yesterday it was the leg one, I'm going to buy some rechargables and a charger.
I do feel better for not getting pies and think I'll be able to resist temptation now.

Another session on the Wii completed. It was easier going from the start but I was flagging towards the end.
I've been eating sensibly for nearly a week now so it could possibly be a bit of weight loss that's making it easier, I'm resisting the temptation to weigh untill Wednesday, one week into the feb challenge. I've also started taking cod liver oil capsules, my knees are giving me some gyp, especially my left, it's paying the price of carrying my dodgy right one and also the weight. It is actually feeling a bit better but I doubt it's the cod liver oil so soon, again probably some weight loss.

*Warning to my cat* If I haven't lost at least 4lbs on Weds you'd better hide.

I'm impressed keep up the good work!

I either slept funny or it's old age but I woke up with some aches and pains in my back and left leg. It didn't stop me though, I'm on a roll and have had a session on the multi gym.
A lot of sets of 10-20 reps of different exercises at a medium weight. No scientific workout, just switching from 1 exercise to another with little rest inbetween, that way it gets the heartbeat going and works up a sweat. Might go for a crawl round the supermarket tonight and test my resolve before tomorrows weigh in.

Deffo old age

Enjoy ur supermarket trip & steer clear of the PIES!!

wow!! that sounds amazing, congrats

My back's been aching all day and got really bad in the supermarket. I started thinking I must have put weight on and that's the cause. I was going to get weighed tomorrow but decided to weigh tonight, and it is 7 days almost to the hour since I weighed for the start of the challenge on my Wii fit board.
Turned the Wii on went to body test, did as instructed then checked the result.....9LBS........Loss, I should be elated but I don't trust the Wii board so I'll check again tomorrow moning.

A crap nights sleep, my backs really giving me some stick and I've been up since 5.30am.
As the saying goes, No Pain, No Gain, or in my case, No Pain, No Loss, so I've had a session on the Wii and it was hard going but I got through it.

I then re-checked my weight with the Wii board, did it twice and same result both times -5lbs, I thought 9 was going it a bit so I'm happy with 5.

-5lbs is great, well done u

Thank you, I'm happy and the cat's safe for another week.

Good, I'll tell the RSPCA they can stand down for now lol

Is that the Royal Society of Pie Chompers Anonymous?

I gave yesterday a miss as my back and left knee were really painful. They felt a bit better this morning so I had a Wii session. Very frustrating, the exercises are getting easier but the EA server was a real pain updating data, hanging for ages then saying unable to connect, so no data has gone to the Minimins online group and a 1 hour workout took 2hrs 15 mins. Next time if it hangs once I'm just gonna carry on offline. If anybody from EA had walked in my room I'd have said "this is how to upload fast" and shoved the wii remote up their a**e.
On a positive note, my squatting has improved, which I suppose would be a good thing if I was taking Xenical.

Hmm its suspiciously quiet in here young man, you best be exercising ur butt off on the Wii

Hey Fatman,

Just read up on all your progress on here. It's not easy, and congrats on all you've done so far! I am too am a worshipper at the temple of pies. I must admit, since I've been trying to lose weight, I've just stopped eating them altogether. After a while you forget how awesome they are, and stop craving them! Plus I remind myself how p*ssed off and down I feel when I cave in and eat them. It's just not worth it.

Also, regarding your knee troubles - how much exercise are you doing, per week? Maybe you're overdoing it? Have you thought about buying any deep heat or ice spray? It's saved my knee quite a few times.
