Wow its been really busy here since I last checked, sorry if I've missed anything
I always struggle with lunches. I never know what I'm going to fancy. Sometimes I'll make myself something n then get to work n think that's not what I want so I end up going to the farm shop lol x
I hate lunches, very rarely know what to have, especially when my boyfriends home. He does my head in lol, don't know what I'll do when I get a job and have to take stuff to work :/
Morning girls.
Yay, well done Donna thats fab news about Woman of the Year......how do you get that title? x
Well, Nikki, if that holiday isn't incentive enough for you to shift those last few pounds nothing will be! How much do you want to lose in the 12 weeks? So no more boozy nights or takeaways young lady! Lots of exercise to strut your stuff on the beach! x
Got up this morning & decided to take a day off as Im knackered! Have done 10 shifts in the last 12 days, so need a me day. DH is back to work, so is away all week again & I just need to catch up on a few bits. Would have loved to have gone for a ride but its bucketing down here, so think I will just pop to the shops & get something nice for dinner. x
It was a vote at class, really didn't expect to be voted though, think I went bright red when the consultant said my name. I don't qualify for the regionals though, needed to have lost more weight but I don't really care, its just lovely to have had the people at my group vote for me.
It's horrible here too, hope you enjoy your dinner. Just had ours and I just threw it together but it was gorgeous, parboiled some potatoes and added them to a baking tray with some chicken which I topped with pasatta, herbs and cheese. Then baked for 25 minutes and served with roast veg. Even my boyfriend loved it.
Hahaha it meant to say sounds lol
I weighed 9st 10lb on Saturday so hoping I can see results like this time last year when I went to Egypt. I lost 5lb in a week by success expressing it so going to give that another go from Saturday.
My body fat really confused because Saturday the 4th I was 24% and then Saturday 11th I'd gone up to 28% so im not doing it this Saturday and going to do it again on bank holiday weekend. Including this Saturday I have 13 WI's, which also includes the Saturday I go on holiday which will be my final weigh in! Xx
I'm going to try success express for a few days before I go away and when I get back I think, never tried it before so a bit scared of it though....
the 4% rise doesn't make sense at all, I have to agree with everyone else.
Yer they r gross lol. Going to Manchester with the oh today
going to cinema and staying in a hotel
What are you going to see? Have a great time
hi ladies, tried to multi quote but clearly cant work it
Forgot to say that was great news on OH's job vicky - brilliant
Holiday sounds amazing Nikki, rather jealous. Am sure you will do great target wise but i do have to agree with Kim. If you up the excercise you will see a difference. Reason i know this is - i am/was 3lb away from target - saw pictures at the weekend and i have this horrible flabby tummy still and am not one bit happy with my body. I need to start excercising and stick at it to see any difference - starting to believe the number on the scales is just that - a number
Donna, that is excellent - woman of the year, you must be chuffed!! well done. Lets try to refocus together
Kim sounds like you need a day of R&R - sounds good. Am sure with your dedication and focus you will be hotter than the sun on holiday - haha that sounds bit cheesy - true though
Am not "getting" the good eating and not sure why. I seem to be slipping down a horrible slope that i need to pull myself out of. Just seem to be eating rubbish and not stopping. Feel fit to burst - had 2 slices of 50/50 bread with ham cheese and branston pickle, packet of square crisps and fibre plus bar - i know i can have the sandwich if it was on better bread, just being really lazy.
I am going to go now and order 6pack by jillian - do you like it ladies? Need a new routine apart from 30 day shred
Think am either hormonal or just feeling sluggish from all the bad stuff i have been eating - will def not weigh in this week - couldnt face it knowin i have let myself down - do you guys alway weigh in regardless?
right onwards and upwards - need to give myself a shake - speak soon - (skuttles away to order dvd)
I've only tried doing the 6 week 6 pack two times... but that's because I'm lazy not because I don't like it, I think it was great, was sweating like nobodies business.
I'm trying not to re-focus but its hard at the minute as I know I'm going to have to go off plan for a few days/weeks with things we have planned. Just hoping I don't put on too much after our holiday....
I think the only true measuring body fat is the calipers isn't it? I think the ones you stand on can vary loads depending on how much fluid you have and a number of other factors as well so not that reliable! My home scales have a body fat measuring thingy on them but i think it basically takes your weight, height and age and does a calculation to give you the number so again not reliable.
At the moment i'm not paying attention to the scales, i've upped the exercise so am focusing more on working out than what the scales are saying. I'm hoping to get to the gym 3times a week to do bodypump followed by a combat session. I started 30day shred but really really don't enjoy it so what's the point in that. I'm trying to make sustainable lifestyle changes which i can follow for life as opposed to finding a short term solution. I found quite a few face book groups based around weight training etc and agree that i also want to look toned (not muscular). Take a look into girls gone strong for some inspiring bods, otherones include million dollar baby fitness or fitness motivation for ordinary people
.
So for me my target is getting into a size 10 as opposed to what number the scales say. I can be quite a fanatacle so hope to get fanatacle about the gym along with healthy eating as opposed to what the scales are telling me.
Although i'm also hoping that by focusing on these other things that the scales will tell me 9st in the very near future lol x
It's good to sometimes not focus on the scales and focusing on when you're happy with your body is much more important then how much you actually weigh
