Just found it here Courtney, I'll put it in the post, it'll be there just after Christmas! :wink: Pleased you're feeling better Nicki. How's our lovely Jenn getting on? I think level 3 of the shred is easier than level 2 actually ... Well, I've lost some weight!!! Wooohoooo! Weighing in at 78.2kg or 172lb, really pleased.…

5 consecutive days of bootcamp, and I'm still alive! Though a little tired!! Hubby came along today, I think he secretly liked it .... I think he expected it to be easier!! LOL love it! How we all doing? I can feel Christmas stealing my willpower a bit ... "ah well, it's Christmas" ... but I'm going to fight it ... onto…

Hi lovely losers! Three days of bootcamp and I'm aching! Had an awful evening yesterday ... stopped logging after I went 200kcal over, but it was worse than that. TOMs fault ... I wanted chocolate, but had turned it all into chocolate brownies, so chocolate brownies it was! Thankfully I'm back in the right head space now.…

Not sure if this will work ... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150532164868993.427701.553318992&type=1&l=8c8a4db7d3 Here's my facebook album from the show ... First day of bootcamp was cool, though I missed my swim ... must still try to fit in two swims this week ...

Big super huge hugs Courtney. :cry: Just enjoy trying to make one! :wink: Have lots of Christmassy fun with your hubby. I've had a fab weekend, drank too much alcohol, but think I'm under for the week, which is quite amazing, and thanks to my HUGE 45km bike ride today. The party food was remarkably healthy in my opinion. I…

Courtney, you just take it easy. Don't push yourself too hard. Big hugs Jenn, sorry to hear you're unwell, hope it passes quickly. I finished work for the year today. WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! We had work christmas lunch today, which was lovely, but I ate too many chippies and nuts and drank a little more alcohol than…

Oooooh, Jenn, that is rubbish. I can't imagine being so tired and then unable to sleep. must be awful. Big super hugs coming to get you :-( Fingers still crossed Courtney. Hope you're feeling better Nicki. I'm all good, on to level 2 of 30 Day shred today, eating well, I've signed up for a "bootcamp a claus for a cause",…

Weighed in at exactly the same, which is good given the weekend I've had, though I had hoped my 50km bike ride yesterday would promote a loss! Ah well, still got 3 weeks until the big day, fingers crossed for three losses! Welcome home Becky, tell us all about it. Where did you go? What did you see? right I'm off to do the…

Points week again this week. We're on week 6, only 2 more weeks to go ... blimey, Christmas has come round fast. Here's our exercise challenges for the week. I'm also doing 30 day shred, right up until Christmas day! 1. 50 jumping jacks & 30 ab crunches 2. 30 burpies & 25 tricep dips 3. 30 squats & 30 push ups 4. 30 bicep…

Good Morning lovely losers I did OK yesterday, didn't log, but was sensible. Friday was AWFUL, dinner was late and I snacked until it came, then ate far too much. I felt quite unwell. Anyway, my head is still in the right space, so I just have keep focussed. I probably won't lose this week because of these two days, but…

Oooh! Fingers crossed here! 6-8 weeks was killer for me, felt gross, and sooooooooooooo tired! I've had a great week so far, but look out, here comes the weekend! I've got less than 200kcals left today (my no exercise day) and am going out for dinner ... so .... ermmmm .... But got bootcamp tomorrow, plus I'm going to…

I do this all the time ... I think off my aim being to eat the right amount in a week, not each day. I always struggle to stay under my calories on the day I don't do exercise, so I just go over that day and make up for it another day. It's worked for me.

Tiredness is a killer for my nutrition! Hope you can get some sleep in Courtney. I'm still doing well, just been for a swim (1.5km), then got home and did 30 day shred, I really didn't want to do the shred, but did it anyway! Feeling so proud of myself! I managed 7.5 hours sleep last night, which is fabulous, I'll try and…

I just started today, day 1 level 1 ... I have got up to level 3 before, but never managed 30 days. I'm planning to do it 6 days per week. I've actually put it on an interval app on my phone, so I can always do the shred ... thinking ahead for summer when fitting in exercise may become tough!

Personal challenge is all good with me ... my plan ... 1. Get to bed earlier - aim for 8 hours sleep 2. Stay under calories for the whole week (am already over today - tired hunger) 3. exercise plan ... Mon: Swim & run to pick kids up from school & 30DS Tue: bike to bootcamp, bike to school and back with kids & 30DS Wed:…

6km trail run was great, it was a there and back course and I got to the turn around, and was quite surprised to have run 3km already, which is always good! It was an odd run, we were told we'd have to run through a stream, that was more like wade through a river! Then we ran through a bog, then there was this single track…

Evening losers! I've decided to do a 6km trail run tomorrow. Hubby is doing the 20km option, and they have childcare ... so I'm doing the 6km! http://www.thewestcoaster.co.nz It starts along one of the west coast beaches here in Auckland, then up along a ridge following the coast and back. If the weather is good, it will…

Well, I didn't manage any exercise tonight, but I have worked out that over the week I'm only 117 kcals over, which is easily made up. I'll probably go over by a similar amount tomorrow, as it's my rest day, but I'm hopefully going to make those calories up with lots of exercise and good eating over the weekend. Night…

Oh man, I'm struggling today, arms aching from boxing this morning, feeling tired because of small children waking me up in the night and then having to get up at 5am for boxing, feeling like I could eat and eat and eat and eat ... I'm over my calories ... considering going for a late evening run to make it up, was going…

Hi ladies I'm going great thank you Jenn, feeling like I'm totally in the zone atm! Lost my bike light yesterday so I couldn't bike to bootcamp, but I biked to the pools today, so all good! I've been running to school to pick up Bill, and will try to do that again today. I think I need to incorporate more strength…

It's all part of the journey Jenn, it's all about learning that you do need to be good MOST of the time, and also about learning that bad days aren't so terrible as long as you get over it and get on with it, you'll be good. One of the lessons that I'm working on recently is not allowing a bad moment to become a bad day,…

Welcome home whizzy I loved our 1, 2, 3, 4 challenge this week. I almost managed to stay under my cals every day ... I really, really need to work on going to bed earlier, so I'm going to add in some points for getting enough sleep. For me that's 8 hours, I know that will be different for everyone, so I want you to say how…

Wooohoooooo! Well done! Looking forward to being normal! LOL!

Wow Jenn, that sounds crazy! Being mad to float by a whistle!? Hope it's all good, should you be taking it easy? Don't do too much, it's hard to judge the pressure it could put on your body. Hope it's all good! Courtney, you sound busy, but like you're doing well! Well ... 1 week of staying under calories EVERY day! - I've…

1 week of staying under calories EVERY day! - all good so far! 2 cups of green tea a day (starting on Thursday!!) 3 runs to school to pick up Bill - done 2 so far 4 8 hour sleeps (early nights!) - done one so far

So Jenn? How did it go? All well? Black friday sounds like fun, I shopped up a storm in the toy shop today! Seem to have loads for Lucy, but not so much for Bill ... though I think I spent about the same on them ... also have ideas for something for hubby ... had kids making christmas cards after to school to post back…

Jenn, big hugs and good luck with your treatment tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you, lovely of your daughter to go with you. You two seem to have a great relationship, you're both very lucky x

I'm a SAHM and I know exactly what you mean! I've been getting up for bike/ runs/ swims/ bootcamp at 5am for months now, but still don't seem to be able to get to bed 'early', if I'm in bed by 11.30pm I'm doing well. Initially I used to have a bit of museli bar before I headed out, now I just have some water, and eat when…

Weighed in this morning and I'm up 1.3kg, which is a real pain, as I know I had a bad weekend, but other than that I had a good week. Ah well, new week, new day ... focus on actually getting somewhere!! LOL! Off to a good start anyhow, cycled to bootcamp this morning! 1, 2, 3, 4 for the week sounds like a great idea ... 1…

Urgh! Had a wonderful weekend, but ate far too much rubbish ... stayed up late drinking sambucca ... ate yummy chocolate movenpick icecream ... had a terrible night last night, Lucy wheezy and waking every few hours ... forgot to weigh in this morning. I haven't functioned well all day actually ... managed a run, but…
