20in6 DAILY CHAT Week 2 [closed]

Hiya, its a new month, this month i have a holiday that need to make sure that i don't go off track and gain back all the good stuff i have started last month. The kids have been off on school holidays which has been really difficult with trips to cinema and lots of temptation, i have buckled and given only to feel terribly guilty later and when the kids are off i can't get to the gym, i can't believe i'm saying this but i miss the gym bad. Have tried to make up the excercise minutes by taking the kids swimming and for walks but its not like my old workout regime. :sad:

Hey everyone!! Thanks for the positive encouragement for my 5K I did it with success! (finished in 40 minutes! - faster than my training time!)

I am SO tired/not feeling too great today... woke up Sunday with a sore throat and just feel icky - I'm hoping it goes away soon! Well I had a CRAP weekend for sure - I went over quite a bit on Saturday AND sunday with calories - but I'm not going to beat myself up about it, just start fresh today && hope for a good rest of the week!

I'm happy that everyone else is doing great so far && working out awesomely! I'm proud of all of you!!

Can we talk about the fact that it's already AUGUST - what the heck?! Only 14 more days till my birthday, EEK!

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is having a great day! It is the start of a new week and a new month! I know August is going to be such a great month for us as we finish up this challenge!

I have been putting in my minutes, but for the past few days I have been so wicked tired! I could fall asleep anywhere and anytime! Then yesterday I woke up and had gained a pound, I didn't freak out about it, but today I woke up and fuond I lost that pound plus 2.4 pounds more...so I did freak out with excitement! I'm going to put all that energy and excitement into my workouts!
I'm starting the 30DS this evening and I'm a bit nervous about it. I have seen so many MFP members get great results and I hope to be one of those people in 30 days! Wish me luck!

Ashley congrats on your 5K in 40 mins! That is sooo awesome! I hope that you are feeling better so that you can enjoy that milestone and rock out the rest of this month .. not mention your b-day!

Charmaine- You certainly can make this week count! Each day, each meal in fact, is an opportunity to get back on track and focus on our goals again. You have 4 days until our weigh-in and that is a lot of time to make things happen! I hope you had a great workout this evening!

Shelley, isn't it a strange feeling when you actually miss the work outs? I think it shows that we have really turned this into a lifestyle change and it isn't so temporary. i hope you and your family enjoy your holidays and don't fall into too much temptation!

Aoife, we are still here.. just not all of us it seems! i am like you in that I weigh myself far more often than I should! For me I want to see how my eating, drinking, and exercise habits affect my body the next day. Like if I don't drink enough water, I can seriously feel and see a difference! However, I do get frustrated when I don't see the drop and think about all the work I put in and how it should have dropped! i guess that is why NSV's are so important! Keep at it .. and thanks for all the energy you bring to this thread! I do appreciate it so much!

Hiya,

This morning I was feeling really dishearted about my weight and that I can't get to the gym, I got some really lovely supportive messages from my fellow MFP pals and went home for lunch and over my usual bowl of soup I spoke to my boyfriend and told him my feelings, he was really understanding and said go to the gym after work tonight and I'll have the kids. Really super excited to getting back to the gym I need it.

Sarah, yes your absolutely right i'm worried about going on holiday and indulging, I love holidays but there is a downside, I will make sure I take my pedometer and do lots of walking.

Have a fabulous day, on happy excited camper!

Hey everyone!

Hope you all had a good day! I'm pretty beat still from my workout yesterday, and I gotta do it again here soon! I am so ready for summer to be done! I hate working out in the heat, and I hate too cook anything because it is just too hot! Any who, I'm not sure what my feel good will be today ...a bubble bath does sound good!

Hiya, Hope you all well. I had a fab workout at the gym, felt so much better last night and so I have just checked the balance of my active minutes, so far 306 minutes and still off to the gym tonight. I used to dread exercise but now I completely enjoy it after I have done. I'm scared off the scales tomorrow cause I have eaten out quite alot this week. :blushing:

Great work Shelly & Lesley isnt it amazing how we now enjoy exercising... I'm really (!) looking forward to my 6.30 am session tomorrow (seriously a month ago I was bit*hing no end about morning sessions).

More importantly I can't wait to seeing everyone's weight in results. Personally ld LOVE to be under 87kg but I think that's a bit ambitious & 87.5 might be more accurate... Good luck!!
