I have deserted SW this week for myfitnesspal. Still exercising a bit. Lost 7 so happy

 

[_Ally_]

Well done on your loss and exercise!

 

[blackwidow]

well done Dan 2lbs is fab, cant remember if i texted you back? will go check

i have pain in both hips now.. Matty keeps making jokes about me having to get full leg pots and how he'll delight in knocking me over so I cant get back up going to ask at docs tomorrow about it because i cant walk properly atm - hurts to stand for long periods of time and hurts to move after i've been sat or laid for any length of time

 

[aesir22]

???? Whats wrong with them? Will I be racing alone on the 25th?

 

[blackwidow]

noooooo im still coming i dont have a clue, same pain as before except now i have it in both hips. im just hoping its nothing serious and I just get some painkillers or told to rest or something.. Matty just likes to make me paranoid by telling me I might have fractures or arthritis or i think he called it alien bone eating disease hes an idiot

..the other option my friend Cat mentioned was pregnancy.

please god let it be alien bone eating disease!!

 

[aesir22]

Does seem like the common symptoms of alien bone eatibg disease! Do a preggers test to check, then if negative ask the doc what to do. Hopefully you'll just need pain killers!!

 

[blackwidow]

its strain. YAAAAAAAAAAAAY

so absolutely no impact exercise of any variety until the 25th March.

so i can swim, walk or cycle.. I have bought the power walking app for my phone and i'm booked in for spinning and weight based circuits on monday

 

[aesir22]

Do you have a bike? Not exercise, a proper one

 

[blackwidow]

nope but Mattys brother has one which i could borrow.

 

[Lucylu79]

Hey guys,

Lost 0.5 tonight which I'm happy with but with 1.5 to target I really want to say I tried my hardest to get it next week so I'm getting on that bike tomorrow!!!!

 

[aesir22]

Aaahhhh even closer well done, any loss so close to target is awesome!

 

[Lucylu79]

Ok, I'm officially on the naughty step....I didn't get on the bike, but, in my defense I have been helping move my boss into a new office and so I've been lifting and carrying boxes all day, thats bosy magic right?!

So I have a problem, we didn't start running yet like I said a few weeks ago so I set next week as the 1st one. The girl i'm running with went running with someone else tonight and I asked them to let me know what it was like. The text was "Well we did the circuit that we will be doing next week (seems about 4-5 miles to me) and including the power walk to warm up and cool down they did it in 55 mins. When I asked if they walked much she replied "No, only to open the gates and walk back to the car to cool down"...............I Cannot run 4-5 miles and not stop, I cant even do half a mile!!!

She says we can totally do it to my pace but now i'm scared!!!!! What if I take double the time!!!

 

[aesir22]

The importan thing is to do it in your own time at a sensible pace. If they push you to go faster longer you run a very likely risk of injuring yourself. I can't run 4-5 miles either. I wouldn't want to at this point! I say still go, but let them know you'll be doing a run walk cycle and if they want to run ahead thats fine, but don't be pressured into stretching too far to keep up.

 

[blackwidow]

i second the above!!

 

[aesir22]

Running at 6:30am is haaaard!
