Hi Jo!

Glad to see your still motivated and steaming ahead. Your weight loss has been fantastic and with hardly a blip! Am afraid i have to consign my road running to the bin at the moment and just concentrate on the treadmill due to the pain in my left hip/leg (think it may be sciatica:sigh but the treadmill is a lot less hard on the body! Still couldn't do 10kms mind you - so more power to you!!

Diet wise i'm taking a wee break from WW but will return. Am giving CD another go coz i can't seem to get anywhere with any other diet

Catch up with you soon

Hi Jaxie

Thats a shame about your pain, my friend suffered from sciatica and she had a real hard time with it, hope it improves for you soon. My running buddy is having a real hard time with her knees, she's going to go to the docs next week and ive a horrible feeling they are going to tell her to stop running Fingers crossed they won't!

Good luck with giving CD a go again, if it works best for you then go for it definately!!

Hi Rach

I reckon the brake pads are probably due to the sheer number of miles I drive, i'm about 400 miles a working week!!! So got those changed, spark plugs and coil pack, in the end i ended up paying £110 which seems a lot but in actual fact only paid £20 for the labour rest was for the parts. Family member's good mates garage so I'm really fortunate that they always sort me out! I'm also really skint this month and don't get paid for near enough another 2 weeks aarrgghh!! Had to get a new passport too which set me back £80!!!! Definately roll on pay day!

Hope you enjoyed the cinema last night

Oh meant to say...managed to lose 1lb this week so feeling rather pleased. Yipee

I've decided im going to try and do 100 sit ups everyday until my holiday in order to takle this unsightly stomach of mine. I bought a swiss gym ball from tesco during the week £5 to help with sit ups, I usually get a sore back when i do sit ups on the floor, feel like my bones dig into the floor! So we'll see how it goes. Think ill start up a new wee ticker to clock up my sit ups and keep me motivated! Hope all is well with everyone

[Aaleigha]

Now 100 sit up sounds like a good idea - not sure I can manage that many a day BUT it is a challenge I can set for myself - afterall it wont impact on my knees and I can work my way up to 100 - thanks so much for the idea

Yeh good idea, the more the merrier joining me on my challenge. I did have a little ticker set up for the next 6 weeks that you could have copied but doesn't seem to be working, will need to sort that!! x

So how did the sit ups go today then
I did twenty pilates style sit ups - doing them that slow and controlled is a killer - if I do that everyday I wonder who long it will take me to get to 100
I am going to try for two sessions tomorrow of 15 each (well today actually)

Heya, well done you on sit ups!!! Mine are going fine, still managing to do 100 everyday, however, stomach was sore for first few days-now not feeling it. I fear I may need to up it! Or I might try and do more in each set. I usually do 4 sets of 25, might try 3 sets of 33. Will see how it goes. Good luck with your sit ups!!!

try doing really really slow ones with the core muscles all pulled in and tight
like the ones they do in pilates - that really will tell on the muscles and make them work - its all about control

 

[mommyB]

can i join you in your sit ups tho think will start with less as havent done them for ages-will start at 50 per day and build up
