the same old rules always apply.. distance before speed.. go as slow as you possibly can for as long as you possibly can.. speed will work itself out. maybe download a couch to 5km app to start with?.. apparently they work great.

:wink: seems biltong is a popular option. I would live off niknaks and nuts myself. But yes, fruit, water, rice cakes, nuts, Melrose cheese and something along the lines of biltong would probably be better health wise. Good luck! Which way are you going?

:huh: hang on.... that means they're trying to sabotage me.... :embarassed: :grumble:

Hahahaha, I love this! Now I know why people bring doughnuts to work! :laugh: evil evil... :drinker:

Ag shame girls!! Sounds like everyone is having a rough week.. Charissa and Kerry, hope you guys feel better soon!! I was meaning to get my Tuesday workout in last night. To make up for the fact that on Tuesday I got distracted by the garden (mind you I was carrying around heavy bags of lawn dressing and squatting and…

Bump

oh man!! I'm off sick for a while and everyone has lost motivation (nudge nudge) hahahah.. just kidding. Charissa, no more excuses. The sooner you start the sooner you'll be finished and have some time for yourself. Me on the other hand.. Still sick.. And decided to take it a bit slower.. I will get back into it on Monday.…

Hi guys! I know I've been slacking off this week :blushing: .. I don't know why, but I thought that I'd get so much more done on the lifting side this week ( being on study leave and all). Boy oh boy was I wrong :huh: Anyhow.. I see everyone's on there posts.. some more motivated that others.. Charissa, don't make me come…

Bump!

Gooooood Morning One and All!!! Doesn't look like a bright eyed and bushy tailed morning.. but I'm so glad everyone is keeping strong. Almost halfway!! :drinker: My body hurts.. My legs are jelly .. I'm jacked up on caffeine... But I'm so stoked.. I lost 4cm on my waist! (happy dance) I just wanted to say.. I'm so thankful…

Thanks for the advice girls. I also do my workouts at home. Don't really like gyms...people staring etc. I'll try adding a rusk to my morning coffee or something.. maybe that will help. Or Maybe.. my afternoon workouts are better because I'm imagining how I'm kicking to guy who just pushed in front of me in traffics'…

Morning girls! Please tell me how you are able to do the weights in the morning? Feels like I have no energy to really go full out. :frown: I love running in the early morning hours, but with the strength training it just doesn't seem to be clicking. Do you eat before or after .. or is there some other trick?:huh: Hope you…

Morning!! I felt so guilty after this weekends overindulgence that I forced myself to get up and get the training done just after 5am this morning. Hope everyone has a super week! :flowerforyou:

Awesome progress!! And so inspirational!

go for the nuts.. and maybe a protien shake

Yay!! I'm back!! Feeling so much better. Thank you everyone for your messages of concern.. :flowerforyou: I've lowered the weights a bit. But got a full length mirror to check my form. This should help for posture I'm hoping. Keep up the great work girls!!! Summer is almost here!! :glasses:

Awesome workout!! It turns out I've got a bit of inflammation in my back and my wrists.. So I'm taking it slow.. Trying to keep fit by doing a bit of "hill running" and just staying with basic leg lifts and things that only use my body weight (doctors’ orders) Apparently it shouldn't take too long to clear but I'm getting…

Hi guys, thanks for the support I'm going to stick it out and see how it feels tomorrow. Luckily, it only hurts when I try to pick something up. (It doesn't help that my laptop bag weighs a ton though) Hope you guys have a super evening! Keep up the good work on the lifting!! :flowerforyou:

Girls, I need some advise. I think I pinched a nerve in my lower back (probably due to bad form or something) Couldn't pick up anything heavier than 20kg this morning. What can I do to get this sorted out?

yay!! yay!! happy day!! All good guys! would be nice to compare notes.. and cappy.. no need for the shouting and cheering if you don't want to.. :) the sarcasm will do.. hehe

great going! I'll be doing mine tonight. Mornings are too hectic.. Have a awesome day!! :flowerforyou:

bought a new bar last night... going to kill on the dead lifts :happy: I know I'v been slacking off but will hopefully join you guys in full swing next week.. doing some *kitten* burning runs tonight.. (hopefully burning off last nights pizza :blushing: )

awesome, thanks guys! MissCKemp, I think I might just take you up on that offer. I guess it can't hurt to try. Let's get toned!

Love it! Feel exactly the same!

Okay, I can see how the deadlifts can work.. but how heavy should a girl start with? Also, I'm trying to tone, not build muscle.
