Did bodycombat before work today. I am so tired at my desk now. Anyone care to prescribe me a week on a desert island, pleeeeeaaaaassseee!?

A so so session for me today after work. SQ 3/5/5/5/4@ 72.5kg BP 5X5 @42.5kgs this was to today. Row 5/5/5/5/4 @50kgs.....a new best. Wasn't really feeling it, though. I think the rowing I did before work took more out of me than I have credit for!

Yes, amazing weights!

After squats and spinning on Friday, I could have done with a rest day but we needed to switch our gym days this weekend so I did back to back days meaning less in the bar on Saturday. SQ 5X5 @60kgs. Used as an opportunity to really sink deep. OHP 5X5 @27.5kgs DL 2x3 @ 82.5kgs. Then a kettlebell HIIT session. Looking…

Yup, I always try and pick my spot in front of one of the skinny mirror when doing combat. Woe betide anyone who makes me stand in front of the fat mirror....or even worse, in front of the join!!!!

Went to the gym before work fancying a spin class (yes, I know, I know!) and saw that the squat rack was free. Not being able to pass up an opportunity and being early for spin, I reserved my bike and dashed over to the rack....only to see that THE GYM HAVE INSTALLED A SECOND SQUAT RACK!!! It was like Christmas to me…

43kg Ohp?! One day.....!!!

Amazing Jo!!

1 kg is 2.2 lbs so double it and add a bit more!

Did combat this morning, then hubby was working out at the gym this evening so I met him there and did some lifting. Had nothing to give for squats but did 5x5 bench at 42.5kgs and 5x5 rows at 47.5 kgs. Then did some kettlebell swings and push presses and some assisted pull ups. Then finally called it a day! I'd better…

ooh, in a hurry curry fried rice is great! I had a "build up bagel" for breakfast, post bodycombat, and have just devoured chicken and cashew nut curry for my lunch. Yum yum yum. Stephie, your weights are more or less the same as mine - I'm bouncing up and down between 70 and 75kgs for squats depending on tiredness. I've…

Oh I feel your tiredness, Canadian! I did a combat class before work this morning. And now I am struggling to keep going today. No idea why, it is not as though this is my first early morning class! But when the alarm went off at 5.15 this morning, I did think "what the heck??"!!

AigreDoux, there is honestly nothing in that book we dislike, but the chicken with paprika and almonds or the mighty duck noodles would be at the top of my list. Mu husband loves the prawns with noodles best. Happy eating!!

Superb lifting there stephie!! I'm on a rest day today. Much needed after lifting both days over the weekend. The scales are showing another loss. I'm eating more, and eating cleaner, so I think I was probably not refuelling my body properly beforehand. I'm back to my pre-wedding weight of 18 months ago, and to be fair,…

Canadian, that counts as swimming in my book!! Yesterday I went to the gym, but as I had lifted on Saturday, I changed my squats a little. SQ 3x8 @ 60kgs OHP 5/5/5/5/4 @27.5kgs DL 2x3 @80 kgs Kettlebells Swings 10x13 @ 20kg Push presses 10x6 @ 12kgs After 2 days back to back, I have woken up with sore shoulders. Rest day…

Happy weekend everyone!! I lifted this morning... SQ 5X5 @70kgs BP 5X5 @40kgs Row 5x5 @ 45kgs Kettlebells Swings 10x13 @ 20kgs Push presses 10x6 @12 kgs After a so-so lifting session earlier in the week, I felt much happier with my session today.

Supermel..... Look at www.fatladattheback.com I'm a proper pear shape so have problems with cycling shorts and these are really good. I'm not sure I like the name but I live what they do.

Newsflash.... I had to buy smaller jeans today. And they were slim fit!!! And in the sale too! Boom as beeps might say :-)

Are you pressing "finish" on the app when you've done your workout - if not, it might be thinking you haven't completed everything and assuming you need to deload? I've had a couple of times when I've forgotten to "finish" the session off. Good work with working out yourself. Its quite empowering, I think, (well, for me it…

I had a nurse's appt this morning before work so did a short dumbell HIIT workout at home before that which got me sweating much more than I thought it would. Had a result in that I bought some snazzy pink leggings a while back, but wore them once to the gym and realised that they stretched just a little too much over my…

I got the rack! But I sucked at squats today. Ho hum, some you win!! Rest day tomorrow. I'm shattered with this heat so I think a day off is needed. Shame I have to work!!

Struggled with the bar this morning: SL SQ 5/4/4/4/3 @70kgs just had nothing there! Ohp 5X5 @25kgs these were fine. DL 1X5@77.5 kgs Then 10x13 kettlebell swings @20kg Plus 10x6 kettlebell push presses @12kgs. 10 full press ups. Rest day tomorrow.

Aircon is still a rarity here. Usually we're battling against putting the heating back on!! We're never happy!! (loving summer really, honest!!) Hoping to lift tomorrow before work....if not, due to someone beating me to the squat rack , a Kettlebell HIIT session or spin. Choices, choices!!

There's nothing to say what we *have* to do. Do what is right for each of you....we all rock, whatever the programme!! I did bodycombat before work. It was H.O.T!!! We're not used to the heat in the UK, and the Aircon is in the throes of being changed. The weights room is done and nicely cooling. The studio on the other…

welcome back! I think it's great that people can dip in and out of this thread - everyone makes everyone feel so welcome that you don't feel *compelled* to check in every day, which so many other places can't seem to manage. I've been on forums before where if you don't post for a day, people seem to assume there is a…

Welcome aboard bmoremama! I've worked out over the weekend but not done SL. Saturday I did a kettlebell HIIT session and yesterday I did a circuits class, some kettlebell stuff (swings and push presses mainly) - both days finished with some abs work.

Did a kettlebell HIIT session this morning plus 2 abs circuits. Hope to use the squat rack tomorrow!!

Oh boy, you can tell I've been out of kilter this last week or so - too much food, too much alcohol, and too little exercise. Went to the gym this morning - tried to squat @ 75kgs but only managed 4 in the first set, and just about squeezed out 2 in the second set, so took 5kgs off and finished the 5x5 with 70kgs. Not…

Thank you all. I know I shouldn't sweat it. I need to have faith in myself and the programme. :)
