Another yoga fan :)

Troll much?

Overwhelmed at the response I've got. Made me more determined :)

You can always lose weight. The only thing that stops us...is us. What i did was make sure that all my choices were achievable. So, doing a diet where you have to stick to a food plan and restrict certain foods, that would not be achievable long term. I just stuck to eating clean 80 % of the week. Don't put yourselves in a…

So glad that I've inspired you lovely ladies :)

Thank you! You can do it!

Haha thanks! Yeah aint no way im going to lose this bum! Thats ok though! x

Thank you! Yeah she is ... little nightmare though ha!

I can now do toes to bar without a swing in between. Also, I can do kipping handstands to floor level. Very happy. Everything is coming on this month. I've even started vlogging my journey on youtube as I want to track my progress visually.

Well this is kind of an odd victory but I've just realized that ever since I started crossfit ( Sept) I've always been the top 3 on the leader board. With the girls, The past 3 weeks I've been 1st or on par. I've gone from 30kg back squat in sept to 62 kg back squat. I've can do t2b's but not unbroken and can do double…

Turkey sausages in a spicy smoky chili & garlic sauce > http://www.mamasjourneytoslimncurvy.co.uk/2014/11/turkey-sausages-in-spicy-smoky-chili.html

I'll definitely be doing something with my crockpot next week. Yum, I could just make that sauce and pre-cook some chicken/ turkey fillets to go with it. Thanks for the share.

I get in more double unders during a WOD , when my body is that knackered, it relaxes and makes me not think about it as much. When I go in for a session and warm up with the rope, I can't get as many.

Ah thanks for that. Yeah I had the arnica tablets after I had my daughter by c-section. Will see if my local shop has the gel.

Yeah I know i'll have some sort of bruising but just want to try an minimize it. It doesn't help that I bruise easy anyway. From the mon - weds I was doing all kinds of heavy lifting, plus lifiting in the wods too. So probably would have got bruising anyway even if I didn't let it slam.

Actually, I've just worked out what it is. Watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa8_SXhe4EU and realized I'm catching the bar with my elbows too low, so it falls on/below my collarbone.

Yeah I am. Your so right.

My daughter goes to nursery from mon - weds, so only time I can go and membership is three times a week.

I do three days a week, in a row. I went lighter on the weights today though, so guess that was my adaption. My shoulders and collar bone are bruised lol and my thighs... I do bruise easy though. It amazes me how these athletes have smooth skin!

Is it usually the other way round then? I always do things back to front ha.

I just added you. I was doing handstand push ups yesterday... My god! I didn't get full range of motion but I was going down a little bit and then pushing myself up. It's a start. Yeah I'm going to work on moving away from the wall this week. I can't even imagine me kipping or doing the walking push ups!

Third week - 50 kg on the back squat now. Did my 1 rep max on the clean & snatch yesterday, got 47 and a half for the snatch and 32 and a half for the clean :) Did my first handstand against the wall today... never done one in my life!! Can't imagine doing it without the wall!

Well i'm utter *kitten* now! I got 30 in a wod today but that wasn't in a row. I keep travelling backwards and apparently that's why im catching the rope.

welcome :)

What's double dutch ?? hahaha I went in yesterday and got 4 in a row but then, only got 1 02 in a row... I got frustrated, so just hung up my rope lol Wish I had a garden to go practice in. I guess I could try at the park, when I take my daughter to the park. It's something I really want to get good at.

Thanks so much for this .

I'll give that a go then. My coach just mentioned it, didn't push it on me or anything. I am thinking of food constantly!!!! lol

Yes totally. I've already noticed my biceps getting bigger! I was already doing some lifting before crossfit but nothing like on this level. The great thing about joining crossfit is that I know my body will change and I know I will develop a range of skills. Can't wait.

Thanks for replying. Your doing very well! Yeah, I've just started getting into my own zone now and not caring too much about others. My coach said he is impressed with what I can do at this stage. He said I've made it easier for him because my form is there. That's not to say he isn't' whipping my *kitten* because he is!…

lol I'm single and single parent, no way i can do this! haha Joke. I have cut my drinking down to once a week though.
