DECEMBER CHALLENGE

re the shred - level 2 and 3 involve a lot of time in plank position so the wrist thing becomes more of a problem.

good luck with it Franalamadingdong
 
Ah good to know, I'm doing it but in a sw way, so 3 times a week as opposed to every day. Just a tiny bit sore in my arms, which I expected because my upper body strength is rubbish, which I already knew. It felt good doing something, it is flood warnings agogo here so going out is a nono.
 
I've already done 30 minutes crosstrainer and 30 minutes running so I might crack open the shred later if I have time after work before picking little one up.... also might see if I can convince him to do just dance on the wii with me (only worry with that is if he decides he wants to play superhero squad instead as that's a sit down one and we're both rubbish at it haha)
 
What is the 30 day shred then? Is it a Slimming World thing or an exercise vid or what?

Ooh Donna you exercise junkie. How old is your little one? Mine's still too young to understand what I'm doing.

He's 4 so if he's around I'll do just dance as its just a bit of fun. He's started noticing little things, like he had sausage and mash last weekend and was moaning that the sausage had lots of fat in it, so I'm trying to be careful not to talk about slimming world in front of him or do certain exercises as I don't want him growing up worrying about his weight.

It's an exercise DVD, the lady from the biggest loser does it, Jillian Michaels is it? I always forget lol
 
Yeah, I think so, I just found it on your tube and pranced around on it, so many people talk about it I figured I'd have a go.

Oh, yeah I'd keep an eye on your wee lad, you could ask your consultant about it, she might have had experience of other kids saying things like that, because they let older kids be members too and focus around healthy eating and stuff it could be an idea. I've taken Nate since just before he was 10 months old, all he has picked up on is when to clap, ringing a bell, laughing when others laugh and climbing on the scales thankfully.

Does your boy like dancing on your feet too? hehe, I try to dance with Nate and he holds my foot down to put his ontop to dance with me. hehe.
 
He's just a very observant little man I think, he asks me allsorts I wouldn't expect him to even think about and picks up on loads. Not a bad idea to ask my consultant actually, I will do when I see her next :) I don't take him to group very often so it might just have been an off comment or it might have been something I've said before without thinking. Actually thinking about it we did talk about sausages last weekend and I was saying about not needing fat in them as joes sausages don't have any in and are lovely, but I can't remember if he was there or not or if it was before or after we had that meal.

Awww bless him, that's so sweet, no mine's moved onto holding hands and just running around in a circle which can be a bit of a nightmare at times lol :)
 
Thanks guys. I've found the vid on YouTube - looks good! Might have to start that in Jan to get rid of any Christmas gain. Ta!

Well done Mandlegrot and CountryCottage - fab losses for this time of year! In fact, fab losses for any time of year! :)

I've lost a pound this week - which is a flipping miracle. I've had a mince pie every day, have not been on a single long walk due to rain (usually I do 3 a week), and it turns out that the rumours of me eating Ben & Jerrys WERE true! :) Gonna really focus this week - will try and eat lots of free food and not binge too much on the delicious fat stuff, and gonna try and get out for a walk, even if it's raining. Determined not to gain over Christmas week!

Good luck everyone still to weigh in - only 9 days of this challenge left. Eek!

I doubt I'm going to hit my 9lb target though - I am weighing in on monday next week instead of thursday (I'm gonna be away for xmas) then I am having a week off plan, as it will be impossible to food optimise for it. I haven't had any mince pies/treats/xmas work dos/meals out yet, and its all happening next week...off plan from xmas day until 2nd jan (to account for new years drinking etc) this won't bother me, I won't have a problem getting back on it at all. I'm gonna stick to the plan when I can - breakfast, lunch etc but I have 6 meals out during that week plus LOTS of drinking (and 3 xmas dinners!!) and as a vegan that means 3 nut roasts, lots of chocolate and lots of cider.

Good luck everyone in the final push, I'm happy with my 7lbs off in december, who knows, I might even lose a pound or two over the weekend - it certainly has discouraged me from drinking this weekend as I would love another good result for weigh in on monday before xmas....
 
Yeh there's no way I'll lose 1.5lbs before end of December to meet my target, as my next WI is Thursday 27th and I shall be expecting a gain! But I'm very happy with my 5.5lbs loss, I think any loss this time of year is a bonus x
