Hello Hello! I'm in Tulse Hill and work in Elephant and Castle...used to live and work in Croydon though....:bigsmile:

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks like you all have been having a great week tackling personal bests and I hope its making you feel good about you :bigsmile:

Hello All!!! I'm finally home. It was a very long week and the to be honest the girls were not that well behaved. I am very tired and I have really missed my routine. The food was tasty but not healthy so I am very very nervous about stepping on the scale tomorrow and seeing what the damage is. We did a fair bit of walking…

Carla and Scott that is awesome! I've been reading what you are all doing and it makes me smile. Tomorrow is the last day of the trip thank goodness. I've sort of a personal best, not in the traditional sense. I have done this trip for 3 years now. I've always found it intimidating because of the amounts of walking…

Fly by hello! ****ing exhausted as the little buggers took ages to go to sleep and then I couldn't sleep. Grrrrr! Outside all day and walked quite a bit. It was so nice to not be at the pack huffing and puffing and feeling like I was going to die but instead to be near the front and happily chatting away as we hiked up the…

Agree and my trainer agrees as well. I have a lot more muscle now then when I started.

Hi All! Personal Best week starts tomorrow! Today is a rest day but as previously posted if you want a challenge, 200 squats!! I'm leaving very shortly for a 5 day geography field trip so I won't be around too much on the boards. Hope you all have a great week!

okay, I got 4 out 5 planks done. 2 x 2 min, 1 x 1.5 min and 1 x 1min. I would do the last one but the two minute ones at the gym have left me with serious floor burns on my elbows. I can't do them on the matts cause I just slide every where. Tomorrow is an off day! If you feel like a challenge though, I challenge you to…

Hello All! Well its been another good day! Couldn't figure out what to do at the gym today and in the end decided it was a machine day. It was the only thing that I could see me sticking with. I ran for 15mins straight (2km!), cross trained 15, spinned 15 and hillwalked 10. Felt really good afterwards and got a nice…

I know what you mean and what you are feeling BUT you are there and that is way more important than anything else. And the others aren't looking at you, most people are so consumed by their own work that they really aren't people watching. The important thing is, you come out of the class, with a kickass burn, knowing you…

Good Morning!!! Hopped on the scale this morning and it is moving again, in the right way. I think the running might be a good thing :) Todays challenge is: 5 x plank There are lots of different ways to do this depending on ability. When I started doing it, I was on the exercise ball. Hold yourself in the up position of a…

Have to say dinner was ABSOLUTELY yummy!!! The best thing I have cooked in a long time and it was super easy :bigsmile: 376 calories to so that deserves a :bigsmile: I'm stuffed!!

I train by myself...actually I get annoyed when people try to talk to me midworkout unless its my trainer. I do however to spin with a friend...not necessarily a class. We go into the spin studio crank the tunes and take turns leading our workout and she makes me work hard.

Hi everyone! Have to share, I ran my furthest distance non-stop today. I decided to run from home to the gym before zumba this morning and ran the whole 2.35km without stopping! Happy I did it and feel good about my time as well, 19 minutes. I dropped 1min off my per km time since I did a 5k back in June. Hope you are all…

Lexie you look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you are as proud of yourself as I am. I'm glad you are finding a sense of balance and hopefully a bit of peace, even if its only for moments. HUGS Becky - thanks for the advice, I will consider it, I don't know what I am going to do. The problem is, I am a lethal snacker!…

Done 150 :) But I confess I did 'em girlie style (my trainer would be freaking out at this!). Hope you are all getting them....those arms are gonna be sexy (Yes, Greg and Scott you too!) :wink:

DOMS are Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.. They are evil, wicked things!! :explode:

Hi everyone! Can I join this thread? I'm Canadian but have been living in London for the last 9 years!

Toying with the idea of being super super super vigilant next week and small portions on the trip....would normally take snacks to have but if leave them behind I can only eat at the meal times. I'm thinking I could see this is a challenge to take what I'm given and turn it as healthy as I can......sigh. Its really…

Good Morning folks! Onyl 2 more days of torturous exercises left! Today is push-ups. 150 of 'em....extra challenge for those who want to try to get to 200 :noway: I've decided to run to the gym this morning and then do Zumba. I'm feeling a bit better since I owned up and changed my ticker to reflect my back slide. Hoping…

Finished my wall sits. The serious DOMS i am suffering made them interesting!! I am so proud of all of you. I know this week is pushing a lot of people out of their comfort zones and I'm happy you are all trying everything. I think that this is the most challenging of all 4 weeks. Only 2 more challenge days to go once you…

oooh I forgot. One of my goals for the month is to try 4 new foods. I tried mango today...and I won't be trying it again. The main problem was texture (I have this with a lot of foods) but that said I didn't overly enjoy the taste either. :sick:

Well I did what I didn't want to do and updated my weight. It makes me sad and mad all at once. I know that I will get back there at some point but that right now I need to sort my head out and that I can't expect to lose weight when I'm not doing the job of controlling my eating. I also need to be realistic about what…

OMG you just made my day! The mental image of that was too much!!

Good Friday Morning All! Well yesterday I finally completed Day one of 30DS. I'm hoping to get day two in today and am thinking of writing the routine down and then taking it with me on the trip as I know I can fit 20 minutes in in the morning. Went out for dinner last night and indulged. I had my reasons. I had been…

:Ziggie that is super impressive, my shoulders ache at the thought of it! Penny - well done on avoiding temptation....if you have an of that willpower to spare could I have it!!?? Todays challenge: Wall sits - make sure legs are as close to 90 degrees as you can manange. Hold as long as possible. I'm aiming for 1 minute…

okay I lied...the last 50 were done with 5lbs...my shoulders are so sore!!! And I finally completed day 1 of the 30DS!! YAY!!! And I needed those successes as I am headed out to dinner with a friend...hoping to take my success there as well :bigsmile:

How is everyone doing with the arm extensions today? I've got 50more to go! Did the first 100 with a 15lb weight and then got creative work using a bag filled with stuff to add some weight to them. The last 50 are back to the 15lb weight!

Becky - yep I screwed up the dates so bump back one day...and yes intended to be done in one day...spread 'em out if you need to! So with that said, today's challenge is 200 arm extensions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yf_UATtNspc) if you don't know how to do them, watch the clip. My shoulders are screaming in agony from…
