Total Solution No more yo yo-ing!

[yoyoagogo]

Hi, I've just finished reading all your entries - it's really great to hear how well you're succeeding at balancing extane, food and exercise. I'm not there yet, but it's good to know it's do-able. I often worry about what happens if I open the flood gates with a meal! Glad you had a great holiday (even if it was a rubbish end) - Italy is one of my favourite places, so beautiful!

Thanks for reading coffeemate yes I was scared when I was TS ing that I would just put everything back on once I re-introduced food but I haven't. Just hope I manage to maintain once I get to goal. Good luck with your journey x

Amazing, well done Yoyo. All that hard work paying off for you. Think I'll give that dance move a miss though. I'd probably end up putting my back out along with a few other joints lol x

Lol Susie and Lynne!!

Oh and not sure if you have heard of the dance move called a 'slut drop' ? It's where you bend your knees and drop your ass to the floor and then come back up again. A massive squat I guess. Well usually I try and do one in a drunken state and struggle to get back up again! Lol!

Last night I was slut droppin with the best of them must have stronger legs with all the climbing and running I'm doing

I'd probably wet myself if I tried that. Pelvic floor has never recovered from having a child in my 40s!!! Note to self: if ever want to try the slut drop remember the Tena Ladies in the knickers first. LMAO. :8855:Well done on the 10st 8.8lbs. Glad you had a good night and are feeling sooo good.

I reckon once we've lost weight Yoyo will have to lead a 'slut drop' dance class for us!

Even better we arrange a night out somewhere central to all of us and meet up and show off our trim new bodies then I'll show you how to do it! Lol

So today got up at 6 up walk up white nancy, had breakfast of a bacon and sausage sandwich and when we got home I slept for most of the day! Lol

Woke up at 4ish, had a bar and a coffee and went to pick some veggies from our Lottie.

Then we went for a half hour run, finished the couch to 5k programme now - hooray! My training programme for 10k starts tomorrow

Not sure I'll bother having any dinner I'm not hungry.

 

[lynneonextante]

Hope you sleep tonight!

 

[yoyoagogo]

Hope you sleep tonight!

I'm knackered still Lynne off to bed now

10 stone 10.5 this morning - I knew yesterday's weight was a freak happy with this though

Off up white nancy, then a busy day work wise and going to hot yoga later - never done it hot before, but it's part of my running training now so we'll see...

 

[coffeemate]

Hot yoga? Do you mean Bikram?! I had a friend who swore by it - not only did she shape up nicely but she used to say it solved everything from emotional dramas to headaches! It's a bit hard core for me though, although I'm going to try pilates soon with a friend. Let me know how it goes!

It's where you do yoga in a heated room so similar to bikram, not sure whether it's a different style or if it's as hot. Anyway, I'm going to a different class now, just a simple hatha class as I only need to stretch out my muscles and by all accounts the hot yoga is pretty intense.

 

[Thornhill Cate]

There was a programme on last night about diet myths. They talked about hot yoga and said it can be a breeding ground for bacteria with all that sweat and damp. One woman ended up contracting a serious strain of pneumonia and ended up in a coma. Not that I want to put you off or anything but maybe hatha is a safer bet!! Enjoy.

 

[lynneonextante]

Oh well Cate, something else we won't be enrolling for then!

 

[lynneonextante]

Hope the class was good Yoyo.

 

[yoyoagogo]

It was really good Lynne - and cate - maybe I won't be trying that then! Lol

Good day today, despite it being a Monday and having to work

Day 1 of my 8 week training plan for the 10k and it was a strength and stretch day. I walked up white nancy this morning, took the dog for another walk this evening, and did 30 mins of strengthening exercises for runners and went to a 90 min yoga class for the stretching part. Lovely and chilled out now..

Food wise, cereal with fresh strawberries and milk for Bfast, a bar for lunch. Some pre-cooked home grown new potatoes and raw mange tout (home grown) as a snack. Home grown broad beans, more potatoes and freshly laid boiled egg for dinner.

Then, before my exercise this evening, as I was knackered and lacked energy I had a white magnum (my body told me to) and a couple of squares of dark choc which seemed to do the trick.

So feeling good, going to bed in a bit.

Oh well Cate, something else we won't be enrolling for then!

It's only the danger of contracting pneumonia putting me off; honest!!

 

[Thornhill Cate]

That is an impressive amount of exercise!

 

[yoyoagogo]

That is an impressive amount of exercise!

This 8 week training plan is hardcore! I only get one rest day a week. Just looking for some eating plans for runners as I doubt I'll be dieting while I'm doing it! Lol

 

[yoyoagogo]

10 stone 8.3 this morning! Whoop whoop! I'm expecting good things for weigh in tomorrow, although it's a run day today and I usually weigh more the morning after a run for some reason..

Right, off up white nancy, then a morning training and afternoon in school.

Have a lovely day! It looks sunny
