GymClassHero's Diary 2010 LETS AVE YA!

[GymClassHero]

Well, the day or reckoning - der, der, duuuuurrrrrrr!

1/2 pound off! Not so bad because i had a naughty episode on saturday night/sunday morning which was alcohol induced but im cool with that. I know i probably went over my syns by about 100 so this week i need to stay really focused and on track.

Went back to work today after nearly 8 weeks and boy was it tough! Im shattered now because ive been used to bumming around during the day but it was good to be back and see everyone. I've been sticking to green for most of this week due to a cash flow issue, i got paid nearly 5 weeks ago and i still dont get paid until 26th of this month so im pretty much going to be doing green until i can have a big blowout on meat at the butchers Not sure if this is having an affect on my losses but its certainly filling me up and giving me more energy in the gym.

Food - Green:
B - 2 x weetabix (HEB), 350ml unsweetened soya milk (HEA), banana, blueberries, blackberries, coffee, splenda, apple

L - Lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pepper, onion, 71g cooked chicken (HEB), salad cream (1 syn), chicken noodle mug shot, plum, jelly (1/2 syn)

D - Stir Fry veg, frylight, quorn 'chicken' style pieces, rice noodles (1 syn), vegetable rice, Blue dragon chow mein sauce (5 1/2 syns)

S - Melon, kiwi, strawberries, grapes, tangerine, mullerlight, banana, 2 x mikado (1 syn)

Total Syns - 9

Fitness:
None - rest day

Overall fitness times for last week:
8 hrs 10 mins cardio (included 2 hrs for the dancing)
3 hrs 30 mins weights/toning
Total - 11 hrs 40 mins

Really pleased with my fitness results for last week, i could have factored the whole 4 hrs in for the dancing but ive accounted for toilet breaks, waiting at the bar etc.

Week 3 Challenge Target:

• Keep to 12 syns or less per day
• NO ALCOHOL!
• 10 hrs of exercise made up of 6 1/2 hrs of cardio and 3 1/2 hrs of weights
• Attend Body Attack on sunday (will be the first time in 8 weeks )
• Eat more superfree food such as quorn

Hi there!

I have been able to get the content for SW, but think that I may be missing some information.

For the healthy extras, I have 1 b sheet for original, 1 b sheet for green and 1 a and b sheet for both days - should I have an a sheet for the other 2 as well??

(I dont have the instruations for a choices for original and green days, only for the one marked "both days"...)

Please can you advise.

thanks

by the way - I think that your lost is great and hope that I can do the same

Hi there,

Im not too sure what you are asking hun? Do you mean Healthy Extra sheets for the other plans such as Mix to Max and Extra Easy?

 

[MumofKatie]

healthy extras

Sorry that the question was not very clear and thanks for trying to help me...

The info that I am working from is not in a book, but all different documents.

If I was on a red day, I know that I have to choose 1 or 2 from list "a" and 2 from list "b" - but I dont have an "a" list just for red days - should I have?

If this still does not make sense, I could email you what I have if this would help...?

thanks a million (all this and I have not even started to lose weight yet!!)

 

[GymClassHero]

Hello,

The A's are the same for both green and original days, they are calcium choices so you dont need a specific list for just a red day. The calcium choices are accross the board.

The B's are different for the different plans hun.

 

[MumofKatie]

Thanks so much - I will let you know how I get on.

 

[bettylollypop]

how can you manage to spend so much time gym, the music does my head in, and even listening to my i pod i have to have it so loud to drain out the other music. i only last about 40 mins, before i go with a headache.

Because i enjoy it!

I have my ipod on in the gym and listen to the music in the classes if im doing that.

One of the first steps of getting into regular training is to actually enjoy the gym and the environment. I have lots of friends who train in my gym and my fiance body builds so we get to spend time together by training together as well.

I dont have kids, prefer not to spend my evenings in a pub and usually go straight from work - easy as, happy days.

If it does your head in so much - dont bother going and save your membership fee instead. Its your choice to be there or not, only you can impact that

I have just found your diary. Sounds like your doing so well and love to read what your eating.

Watched The Knowing with Nicholas Cage - thought it was great until the end - i wont spoil it for anyone though

Totally agree! Did the writer run out of ideas....

What is a cardio wave machine like?

 

[GymClassHero]

What is a cardio wave machine like?

Its like a crosstrainer but you move laterally as opposed to back and forth. Imagine a skiing motion.

It looks like this:

Its fab for your obliques, bum, thighs and calves. Its a massive calorie burning machine and you can work in 4 different positions.

I love it - its my baby in the gym! lol

I dont pay for my membership, great thing of staff benefits, i do tend to go when i feel motivated and i enjoy going, but i just get there and stuck listening to rubbish. grr.
havent tried any classes, am nervous about going on my own.
stick me in a pool, im there till i've swam a mile or so,
maybe i should give road running a go..
