    Morning all

    Seriously, where is this year going?! It will be October before we know it!

    Lifted last night and felt good. Over head press needs some work, but was glad to get 30kgs up 4x5 and 1x4. Deadlift is almost back up to being bodyweight - where it was a month or so ago before I got a tweak in my back. Squats are progressing nicely. Overall pretty happy with my progress.

    Have a good day all :flowerforyou:

    Evening all , not much to report in my world but thought I would check in. Great day here in timaru today and the kids were amazed how light it was at tea time, and daylight savings not even here yet.

    Keep up the good work everyone.

    Same here no news to report! Went to circuit training today for first time... man it kicked my rear end so hard. I am honestly a tad surprised I managed to walk down the stairs afterwards, rolling down seemed a more viable option at the time.

    Hope everyone is doing well, kids are healthy, doggie's tails are wagging, and the sun is shining.

    Really didn't feel up to doing a work out tonight , so instead of canning it all together I took master 6 for a walk. We ended going for nearly an hour ( ended up having to carry him a few times but that's all good) , we both had a good walk. He found it to be a real novelty to be out walking in the dark.

    Can you believe its Monday again?!! And just about October - seriously WTF?!

    My weight is on the way back down again, and i'm still suffering from DOMS from Saturday's fabulous training session! Loving it!

    Hope you all get a great start to your week!

    My aim is to get at least 8000 steps a day (busy week at work so not sure I'll crack 10,000), to lift Tues, Thurs, Sat and to keep my calories and macros in check

    Whats your plan?

    Happy October all!

    I've been a naughty little vegemite and completely forgotten I'd joined this lovely group!

    Been doing 5:2 for almost 3 weeks now and have lost 2.4kgs (depending on what day I weigh myself), so feeling pretty good heading up to my 41st birthday on the 16th.

    Bought myself a sexy slinky black jumpsuit and black/gold slut shoes for a night out with my husband to celebrate both our birthdays in style (flash hotel and dinner out in Wgtn on the 18th).

    BRING IT ON!

    Hi All. You are an inspiration, Emms.

    Me? After maintaining for some time I've had a lax winter. Went to try on an outfit that used to be roomy and found it way too snug everywhere! :embarassed: Time to get a grip and set a better example ! !

    New equipment: an indoor stationary bike trainer, was on sale at 50% off, now fitted to my old MounTain Bike. One of these trainers has been on my wish list for a few years now. Bucketed down yesterday and so it got a fair bit of use. :tongue: Talk about a numb bum today!!! - LOL. :laugh: Might have to invest in a Gel seat cover. NO EXCUSES, eh?! :wink: My deal with myself, if I want to use a screen, I've got to spin some wheels. Speaking of which I better ROLL.

    Hope it is a Wild night Emms!

    Coincidentally, these guys are releasing their new album at Moon the same weekend: http://flitenz.bandcamp.com/releases. Perfect lyrics for jumping back on the wagon. :happy:

    Hey all! Feeling kinda disheartened. I have been cleaning eating since march, and my food bill (was previously eating a tiny amount but very bad food) has sky rocketed. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hi people, good to see some Waikato locals and a familiar face in here Karina, its been awhile. @evie, are there any local markets you can go to? A great place to pick up well priced fruit and veg. Although good food can cost more think of it as saving on doctors bills later in life. Totally worth it
  • Hi, I'm Mel, im in wellington and after a year of being pregnant and lazy i'm getting back into things :)

    Oh man. Soooo went off track. Luckily didnt gain back too much, but it turns out i need some serious food motivation and head motivation. Does anyone else struggle with their head stuff? Mines really kicking my butt.

    eviebee03, I can so relate to you, I have put on about 4kgs over the past couple of months, and I am really struggling to get back on track. I just found this post in the NZ group forum so I am going to use this to check in daily. Maybe if I make myself accountable to this group then I hope I'll be alright. There's no way I'm going back to where I was this time last year. Merry Christmas everyone.

    Hi from Tauranga - have to sort myself out again and get back on track. Hoping that checking in daily here again with exercise and food will get back to where I should be. Dumping 4.5kg (to start) by the end of March is my first goal.

    bit of a disaster for nye...I drank way too much wine, I'd hate to see the kilojoule count on that one....Plus side is I've been out and had my walk nice and early and I did some extra distance.

    The first day of the new year was a much better day. Got my daily walk in nice and early, so it was done and out of the way. Eating was much better, had a tiny slip up but couldn't be happier with my headspace today. (*)
