Thanks all for your encouragement. I'm sure if I weigh myself in the morning it won't be as bad but it's given me the kick up the wobbly bum I need. I'll make sure I'm back on track, especially as I need to drop a few lbs to make the tri easier. I've planned my meals for the next week, mostly from the hairy bikers book,…

You know I never thought of that! Although I do think my belly is a bit wobblier (is that even a word??) I know I'm eating crap I just need to stop. And start logging again.

Thanks ladies. cwood you made me laugh. My tea was bloody gorgeous. And I *MAY* have had another glass of wine. Marygee I have no excuse for not tracking, I have my phone on me all of the time. You are right it's such a cliche that I was sure I wouldn't fall into and here I am! So annoying!! Right. My promise to you is…

Thanks all. I'm going to start it tomorrow.

So you most have missed all that lovely rain then you lucky thing! Well done on your time that's brilliant!

You can get Tri suits which are like all in one lyrca things with bike padding on. As it was my first (and potentially only) tri, I thought I'd just wear what I had. So I wore my sports bra under my normal costume, I had a too small towel to wrap around my middle as I was running to the Transition area, I think IF I did…

Hi - yes I am sure it would have been easier without my big fat knobbly tires :) Good luck with yours I'll look forward to hearing about it!

Oh really? Mine was an 11.36 start which I think meant we caught the worst of the weather - it seemed fine before then and fine afterwards...how did you do in it?

Ah I see! That makes sense thank you :)

I made this last week too and it was really nice - definitly on my meal planner for this week too

We had the leek lasagne last night and it was really good - I have left overs for my lunch today :) i have the book too and it has some great recipes in.

Hi all - I'm from Durham but live in West Yorkshire - feel free to add me and I will add the OP

Ah I see - well I think my HRM is just a bog standard one and I don't think you can do a fitness test with it. It just confused me as I did the shred yesterday and burned 220 cals, then today, a similar work out and it was less than 100. Just doesn't seem worth the effort - even before I started the 10 mins stretch (which…

I've just been looking through this book and there are some lovely things in it. Can't wait to start cooking (and eating) some of them

Sorry just seen your reply - thanks BJPCraig - I'm going to start this next week I think - a few more days of level 3 of 30 DS and then I'll start it.

I've just had a quick look at this and can't figure out how it works - it seems to be lots of small 10 min videos - how many are you supposed to do each day?

Me too - I've never heard of this but it sounds good! The heaviest weights I have are only 1.5kg - will that be enough?

Cheeky bump :)

I have a 22 month old and a 3 and a half yr old. The days I am at home with them I wait til the little one naps and I let the big one sit and watch me do my shred DVD. I often get comments like "Mummy you are not doing it the same as the ladies on the tv - they are standing on their toes" when I am doing my half press ups.…

Oh thanks have just set that up to record :)

.

Anyone?

I'll be running before I go out so will rack up a few extra cals :)

Hi all, I'm Sue and from Durham but live near Halifax. Feel free to add me and I'll add you all tomorrow as I'm off to sleep now. Night night x

I didn't drink any alcohol this weekend for the first time in I don't know how long! That is a big deal for me :)

Thats great info thanks! Looks like I am going in the right direction then...

I wasn't enjoying the film so instead of talking to people on the Internet about exercising I figured why not just get off your *kitten* and do it. So I did. 30ds level 1 done.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I ended up not doing it as when I got home they were very tired after a busy day with grandma so all they wanted to do was snuggle with me. And now I have a full belly from a lovely dinner and we are watching a film. I'm going to do the 30ds in the morning after the nursery drop…

Thanks all - i might give it a go and see if it works. i normally do it on a lunch time when I am working from home but I'm in the office today and I know my husband is cooking us a nice meal which we won't get to eat til 8 once bed time is over with so I was thinking I can't really shred til 10 ish or I'll be sick! I…
