Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

did day four today and struggled. hadn't eaten so think that is where i went wrong....can feel a difference already. really want to keep this up

There's somebody I follow on instragram who swears by fasted cardio. Apparently its really good for you to exercise on an empty belly but then again many people say its no good lol.

Im feeling poopy today and it's a scheduled fast day. Luckily I only got out of bed an hour ago so havent eaten yet lol. Gonna have cauli soup for dinner then fajitas (no wraps) for tea :)
 
i can imagine how you feel but i say keep doing what you are doing. you will be in great shape. if the exercise counteracts some nice food then so be it. you won't always have things on and when you don't it will even itself out. good your positive about it too x

Thank you, yeah I know. I'm just a worrier lol. Not going to my Aunties now anyway as not everyone can make it and she has a headache.... still been over my syns some days but think I should still loose this week as its not nearly been as bad as last week.

Glad you can tell a difference already. Maybe you just don't suit exercising on an empty stomach, everyone is different when it comes to food and exercise, personally I don't like doing anything on an empty stomach either. But we need to learn what's good for us personally, like this morning I was worried about my run as I had rice pudding where as normally I'd have porridge, but I ran fine on the rice pudding :) its all just trial and error I suppose, have to work out what works and what doesn't work.


Run went great-ish, we did 10.5 miles, was a bit of a nightmare at first as it was a lot muddier then expected so did a bit of walking where I would have liked to have run as I literally couldn't run without slipping over and my new trainers are now an absolute mess. But overall I enjoyed it.
 
Just catching up. I've been busy for a while studying so finding it hard to keep posting.
Hope everyone's doing good and seeing the results. In just pleased I'm still in the 9s with studying all the time but I'm planning my meals ahead n trying to make big portions of spag Bol, chilli etc so can have that quickly on an evening.
Also keeping plenty of fruit bags in the fridge so I can nibble on them whilst studying rather than sweets

i did it by accident the other day and thought i was struggling due to it being level three but maybe not. maybe my body was tired today cos i did struggle.

definitely feel difference. oh even commented on my arms. the back muscle, when you straighten your arm...cant remember name of it..tricep maybe? is def more defined. can't believe difference in four sessions. tummy tight when tense but nothing major. plan on day five tom.

well done on your run....shame about trainers though

Thats really good then. I might dig mine out again cos I would really love to see some quick results!!!

Well done on the run donna. We walked 6 miles and we were sooooooo muddy!!!

Ladies im really cheesed off so need to rant. I apologise. I started organising my hen do in October last year because moat of my friends and me are on low income so went with a sight that we could pay monthly with. So 6 weeks today we r going to manchester for weekend with loads of activities planned incusing cocktails, strippers and a spa. Now it was 140 which is quite a lot of money but we had 5 months to pay it over! Anyways today was the deadline for paying the last of it off and only 4 people had paid. I have spent all day chasing people to pay it and in the end my sister hasn't paid!!! She just text me half hour ago saying she cant afford. What kind of sister doesnt go on her sisters hen do. Shes had 5 months to save up. Theeeeeen she tags herself on facebook out. Im absolutley fuming!!!!!

Dont apologise for having a rant Vicky as it sounds very justified & I would be furious! That only works out at about £30 a month to save since October & I appreciate that might be hard going for a few people, but you would spend more than that on a takeaway! Is this the first time your sisters mentioned she cant afford it, or do you think there's possibly another reason? Not sure what you mean by 'tags herself on FB'! I always despair about people sometimes as we always set ourselves up for disappointment as some people can be so unreliable. Just go with the ones who've paid their money & have a good time & forget about the others....sister included if thats the way she's behaving!

that is rubbish and your right to vent. how many were meant to be going? if people cant afford they should say at the time. i agree with Kim...go with the ones who have made an effort.also should your bridesmaid, if your having one, not take to do with sorting all the hen stuff out? i know we did when it we were bridesmaids x

tagging herself Kim means she was out and put photo of herself on Facebook :)
 
Well done on all the exercise ladies! I just need to do a workout today and that's me met my challenge of 3 runs and 2 workouts per week for 2nd week in a row yay! :-D

Target is getting attainable again :) exciting!! Was fully expecting a gain this week as it was my first week not doing fast days, I am back on simply filling. But despite no fast days and one meal off plan I got a teeny tiny 0.25lb loss yay! Really thought eating normally again would confuse my body this week but apparently not.

That sucks Vic unreliable people are awful - I have often found myself in a position especially when I was off work broken or saving for a house where there was things I would like to have done but just couldn't afford to but I was always up front about that! That's a horrible thing for anyone but especially your sister to do :-( *hugs* people really make me despair so many are awful with money :-/ I understand times are hard but you prioritise your spending, save money on any unnecessary things and if needs must eat really basic food and avoid nights out!! Sorry that ended up a mini rant haha I guess I just feel hard done by that I have had to do that so many times yet others go for the route of disappointing people x
 
You can tag your self at places on fb n was tagging herself at places all night.
There was 12 of us, my sister is the only one that hasnt paid. I have two sisters n the other one paid ages ago.
I wouldn't have minded if she said she couldn't afford at the time I would have paid hers off monthly cos I want her there but I dont have the money out right to pay now.
My chiefy has been organising most of it but im a little austistic (as most mathsy people r) I like to b involved n I dont want my best friend to have to chase up my sister!
I feel like saying if you can't be bothered saying up for that don't bother buying a bridesmaid dress lol x
 
I agree Vicky, you have a right to rant, why didn't she mention it at the time, you gave everyone plenty of notice and plenty of time to save up, if she'd said when you were planning it like you say something could have been sorted out. When my friend got married we couldn't really afford much but me and boyfriend both made the effort to go to the hen and stag do even though it cost us quite a bit all in one month, but we wouldn't have wanted to have let our friends down.
Don't let it bother you though and just go and have a nice time with everyone else. It's so easy to get stressed when planning a wedding so don't let things like this get to you, just enjoy the experience.

I just think it will be her who will look back n feel bad cos she didn't go on her sisters hen do. Its not like we arent close or owt cos we r really close which has annoyed me more. Shes just so immerture and selfish. Doesnt think about anyone else.
Right thats done with lol. Just been to my neices birthday and nibbled on the buffet but defo burnt it off dancing and swinging the kids round lol. Having a nice big sunday dinner later then gonna do a workout from fitness blender :)

Good luck with the workout, sounds good. As long as you had a nice time at the party, a few nibbles won't kill you :)


GAH - What is wrong with men, talking to boyfriend today about when his parents are coming up for Easter and if we should cook a Sunday roast and he tells me matter of factly that they are coming up for Easter weekend and that his mum says we should book somewhere for Easter Sunday... Why am I not informed about all this? I asked about why I never get told anything and then he says he forgets... its funny how he always forgets to tell me about everything but his mum gets told everything!
I tried to get him to book somewhere and he said he would later, so eventually I rang as expecting places to be busy Easter Sunday and all he said was ''well I would have when I got round to it'' (when would that have been Good Friday!?)
Anyway in a little paddy I booked it under my name and not there's as obviously I'm not part of that family.... he never asked why I did it in my name so its a very silent protest.

Oh but also what's really winding me up is they won't say when they're coming? its over Easter weekend but that's all we know, he kept saying he'd ring them to find out.... after lunch.... then after going home bargains.... then after he'd done a bit of cleaning... then he said he didn't know why he was ringing them, so we won't know when they're coming until just before no doubt, also won't know how long they're planning on staying for as again noone feels I need to be kept in the loop about anything like that :(


I wouldn't mind but his mum and dad really don't like me, they make out they do but have made it very clear on a few occasions that they don't, so obviously I feel very uncomfortable around them, especially when they're up here and he knows this, but he doesn't seem to want to support me at all :(

Aww donna thats rubbish. Just should just book yourself into a spa for the weekend!!
 
Haha if only ;)

I'm planning on two long runs, one on Good Friday and one on the Saturday morning, naughty I know two in a row but ahhh well its a one off, will make one of them a shorter run to be fair.
