hehe last time I measured I was a 50 G or something silly, i have lost a little from the back but still not enough for the sports bras, but good to know for when i get down to a more sensible weight

Hehe okay, ammmm maybe a roll of bandage and some black insulation tape!

AAAHH this wind kicked my ass all over the field but was kinda handy on the way back cos a big gust pushed me along!!
W1D1 done...i have ran before so didnt find it too tough, just trying to get back into it and find my stride again! good luck everyone!

Hiya welcome to the challenge. I'd love to do a race for life, I'll need to do something to keep my motivation up. I didn't mind the first go, found it okay, hope I can keep it up xx

 

[MrsLmc]

Not sore at all today, thought my legs would be killed. Have zumba tonight and then day 2 tomorrow of the challenge. Wanted to do it again today but read somewhere its a bad idea, can lead to muscle fatigue and stuff so I'll wait till tomorrow. Hope I'm this enthusiastic this time next week hehe x

 

[azwethinkweiz]

I did mine 2 days in a row although I would've preferred not to and my legs are grand. I will space it out better next week I think as it starts to get more difficult. I still have Day 3 to do this week. Tonight maybe if I feel up to it

 

[MrsLmc]

Well done to you all for starting. I tried earlier in the year and was enjoying it until I hurt my knee. Make sure you are all wearing decent trainers as shin splints and overpronation can limit your enthusiasm! I will start again when I can buy some better trainers from a specialist running shop. If anyone is bored and wants to take a look at the on-going SW C25K challenge, it might be worth having a read through to see what pitfalls/problems etc they faced - http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world-teams/194281-couch-5k-challenge.html

I will keep on watching your progress as one of them there cheerleaders for now xx

Think I read something about it not being good on the link in MrsMc's message above. But motor on whatever way works for you Sarah, you know your own body. I'd cry if I had to give up zumba you see as I find it great me time and great for stress.

I really wanted to do day 2 today though. Funny come tomorrow when I have to do it I probably won't wanna hehe.

Oh no I read it too whenever I first started but have a hectic work schedule this week so wanted to make sure I got it done. I will be trying to leave a day between each one especially when the jogging starts getting harder. But I know what you mean... I wanted to do it the next day as well as I was just "in the mood" for some exercising. You've loadsa exercising now!! I dunno how your legs even work anymore

 

[MrsLmc]

Can't believe I have stuck with it either but think I'm getting addicted to it. I've a fairly dodgy back though so I'm hoping it doesn't go out. I always find it hard to motivate myself to do exercise, but once I start I enjoy it.
