  • I hear ya ... I work in London too, usually 7am-7pm. I'm a PA so I can't really predict when or if I can take a break in the day. I've taken to doing Jillian's 30DS in the morning (it's only 20 minutes so doesn't hurt THAT badly) and cramming in a run at lunch or in the evening, depending on when I have the time/energy. Do…

  • Hey Rae - my HM is on 28 October- when's yours? I'll join you on this tho I will probably have to swap around my days a lot as I have v unpredictable working hours! The schedule looks about my plan - 4 runs a week + 1 (or maybe a cheeky 2) cross trainings :happy: I'm 26, 138lbs, 5'4" with a goal weight of 126 if I ever get…

  • hey sarah - are you on the progesterone only pill by any chance? I had exactly the same after running my first marathon (and was not pregs either)! my doc (also a runner) said progesterone and increased exercise can disrupt the cycle...

  • 30DS is a circuit-based programme - it works for me because she changes the exercises from set to set so you don't struggle along for longer than a minute on one exercise. Personally I like 30DS because even when I get home after an 11-12 hour day I think "oh sod it, it's just 20 more minutes of feeling tired" and can make…

  • Hello Georgina - first off well done on your diet discipline, it's excellent. I work 0730-1830 with a commute too, and I have found Jillian Michaels's 30 Day Shred a godsend. It's 20 mins, you can do it before you leave in the morning or when you get home, and that's your daily workout. It's £5 on amazon UK (I guess you're…

  • Hey there- first off well done on getting out there and good luck. All good advice from the above posters. Definitely agree that if you're not injured in any way then with keeping at it your muscles will get used to it. Music and mind games are good. Personally I listen to audiobooks - I'm too lazy to change up my music…

  • Hurray wine! I try my best to live a healthy lifestyle, and wine sure puts the style in my life... Seriously though, I train for and run marathons without giving up drinking. My body tells me what it does and doesn't want.
    in anyone else like to drink white wine?? Comment by Katy_V June 2012
  • :love: Hi ladies - thank you for the lovely welcome WOW well done Suz! I run a lot, long distance (though don't lose any weight, even marathon training :blushing: ) so I don't really expect to lose any weight with JM but I measured myself and have lost 1in off my hips since 31 May! Did L1+2 on Saturday... ran on Sunday so…

  • Hey ladies, mind if I join this support thread :flowerforyou: ? I started on May 31st, did Levels 1 & 2 today - found 1 easy so skipped to 2 after day 9... regretting that decision today as it was rock hard! After day 5 I was seriously sluggish though and my ITB (the stablising muscles at the side of my thighs) reeeally…
