    I'm ashamed to say that I've not made it to the gym since my last post :( the knee has slowly got better but I keep setting my alarm then going back to sleep!

    I am determined to get there over the bank holiday weekend so will update on my attempts..."slinks away in shame" :yawn:

    Glad your knee's better - see you soon :flowerforyou:

    Still here, feeling a little worse for wear after falling off my bike, so dodgy shoulder and scabs are preventing me from the usual early morning swims. Using the pushbike (now its fixed) to cycle to the station and then onto work. Short cycle journey in about 3 miles but a nice 8 miles on the way home as i get off a couple of stations before Nottingham and cycle along the canal. All very pleasant in the sunshine.

    Way hay, back in the pool this morning, first time in 2 weeks, it was like i forgot how to swim, or that could have been a rather bad food weekend (bad as not healthy but taste`s NOM NOM NOM)

    Nice workout lucyloo, great stuff.

    I've had a bad food (& drink!) weekend too. Far too much bread, cheese and wine has passed my lips, which is not good being as we just booked to go to Turkey first week of June!!! I need to lose at least half a stone by then :frown:

    Sounds like we all had a good weekend then!

    Up and out again by six this morn, despite not having to be in work for hours...I'm trying to go for consistency....all too easy to slide back into sloppy ways otherwise! :)

    Agreed, was in the pool again this morning, but the inner demon was saying " your a little stiff from yesterday" have a lie in. It did make me a little late, but i made it.

    Why is slipping out of the habit so easy and getting back into/starting so hard. Twisted world.

    Anyway, cooking chicken Tikka Massala from scratch tonight, so will 100% need the pool in the morning :D

    Up and out for a 3.5 mile walk this morning. Couldn't face running after my 11.5 mile cycle last night.

    I would be for this, although its more 6:45 am for me, but You cannot access forum for updates via phone etc so I wouldnt be able to log till 8.30 so kind pointless for me :D

    Me too, I'm in the gym for anytime between 6.30 am and 6.45 for an hour then log later when I'm at work - also usually when I'm having my breakfast but I forgot this morning lol!

    Another one done...nice to ease in with a four day week.

    Another one for me, don't know about ease, feel really tired this week for some reason. Too many late nights catching up on the bike racing on TV.

    Did the gym thing this morning.

    Treadmill and the nasty cross trainer which always gives me pins and needles for some reason. Have a nice weekend everyone.

    Friday night is curry night !!!!

    Well! Its lunchtime before I can actually get to post properly been too busy doing work!! How's that happen? It's just not on - it's Friday ffs!!!! Made it to the gym for 6.30, just did cardio because I'm still a bit sore from doing weights on Wednesday :(

    Have a good weekend everyone - hope we get a little bit of sun between the rain!!

    Work?? On a Friday?? The cheek.

    I'm out for today and tomorrow, got tonsilitis, and have actually taken day off work, something I rarely do.
    Resting up (and glad I did small workouts at weekend) as per drs orders.
    Back Wed I hope.
    (And it all went so well last week..sob)

    Hope you're feeling better soon tonsillitis is horrible! - eat some ice cream!!

    I failed this morning, fully intended to go to the gym but set my alarm wrong, I was ready to go at what I thought was 6.10 am then noticed the time on the telly and it was 7.10!! :grumble:

    Only managed 40 minutes in the gym this morning, had to cut it short as needed to go sainsburys before work or else I'd be really under my calories with no food in the house!!!

    Not a thing done this morning. Was so nice, made a nice healthy breakfast and munched it down al fresco, just a shame i needed to leave and go to work.
  • TLwineguzzler

    Always a shame when you have to go to work when the sun's out! Day two done in the gym, might take the dog tomorrow (for a walk, not to the gym!!)

    Ah tlwineguzzler and spg 71, I was just thinking what a merry band of three we've become...when I realised I'm about to abandon you too.

    This week's illness has wiped me out to the point of sleeping very well, something I have issues with, so I'm going to take advantage of that... and then I've got a week off soon, and then my working hours change to two later starts, one normal, and two early starts,nobody wants to be in the 5am club do they?

    We need to drum up some more people to join you!!!


    Btw, there's nothing ONLY about 40 mins in gym!!!
