getting fit for your trip - a place to share & ramble

[5ofus]

I have a spin bike at home that has been neglected because I get bored on it. However, I dusted it off yesterday and did some spinning while checking the boards for the day on my tablet. It worked great, the time flew by and I killed two birds with one stone. So, I am doing the same now lol. I am at 23 min. and 302 calories.

That's a good idea. I tried to do my workout video as picture in picture, but I can't make the workout video small and the main pic big Might have to have a fiddle around with it. Will be so much enticing if I can watch Amazing Race or something while sweating my butt off. Besides, Gillian Michaels would be less annoying if she was tiny and muted

Yeah, and not in the way you want it to. I keep thinking of Homer Simpson "wooo, look at that blubber fly" whenever I run !

No exercise for me today apart from walking the dog with the kids. Although I do wonder how many cals you burn hissing at the kids 'don't eat curry with your hands' when DH decides to take them to an Indian resturant at lunch.

Not looking forward to standing on the scales tomorrow, it's not going to be good. At all.

Karen I assure you, you'd be highly entertained by my boys. One told the other 'don't disturb me, I'm trying to nap. I need my beauty sleep' today in the car on the way from lunch. Nice for some aye - eats like a pig and wears it all off.

I can't handle Gillian Michaels, I want to smack her for her enthusiasm about causing people pain lol!

She's getting even more annoying the more I do it. I usually mute it now and put some music on.

Another work out tonight. My shoulders are killing me!

Hmm weigh in day and I'm up 2.7kgs. I know what it is and I want the darned ovary out and all the cysts it's making (three years are arguing with the specialist and getting nowhere). Everyone says I look great but I feel terrible most of the month and really sick with all this fluid retention. What's the point? I know I'll drop it again as it's a medical thing but how disillusioning is it to put 2.7kg on in one week? I'm so fed up with it.

dont go by the weight, go by how loose your clothes are.. I'm sick of my scales dictating to me where I'll have a positive day or a negative.....

why do we torture ourselves...oh and i'm playing squash again tonight....half for me and half to get my DS1 exercising..hes 30 kg over his ideal weight..and at 25, thats not goodI'd hate for him to die before me from heart disease/ diabetes..etc

Would you believe I'm down 700 grams on this morning? This is despite weighing on a completely empty stomach this morning and eating two meals today when I thought I'd stand on the scales before I hopped in the shower. It makes no sense whatsoever. ARGH. The ovary needs to come out as soon as we are back from the USA.

Everything is looser and I'm buying a size down, so the figure makes no sense but I have to keep doing the weigh-in to prove to the gynecologist that the ovary is problematic in more than one way (GP's idea to track it).

Is DS1 the son that's moved back home with his children? He's been knocked around so much this year that he's probably been comfort eating (and no man can tell me that they don't comfort eat too). You go and have fun with him Karen - sometime a bit of Mummy Time is what we adults need too.

Wow, that's so bizarre with your weight! Why doesn't your GYN want to take the ovary?

I haven't been great this week. Still exercising at least every second day and avoiding sugar binges, but just feel really flat and tired. On a positive, I am wearing my new size 12/14 belt today - hooray!

Way to go, wearing a new size always motivates me!

Hi all,

I hope everyone is doing well and trying hard to be good! I would love to say that I have been good, but I landed myself in hospital for a couple of days to pump me full of good stuff and am home now catching up. I have the dreaded winter Lupus "flare" up and have had some other complications to boot! I actually had a real problem ( won't go into the details to spare the squeamish!!! ) after they removed my canula yesterday, so that made them want to keep me for a bit longer.... bugger!!!! Oh........hospital food........now there's weight loss right there

Hopefully will be back to normal in a few weeks, but don't think I will be the weight I wanted to be before we go. But the way I figure it is, I am going to Disneyland one way or another.....right???!!!

Have a great weekend all
