Carly tbh kata makes more sense the further into it you get as you understand what move is an attack, what is a defence. I did kickboxing from age 20 to about 29 and karate from about 27 to 29 both to 1st dan. I stopped when pregnant and i think now theres too much against me to go back to it but ive discovered my gym and…

Skinny martial artist me...

In terms of karate I'd recommend wado ryu. It's much lighter and less stampy than shotokan. The forms...Kata were my favourite part of karate. If you do a Kata correctly itshould make you put of breath and sweaty. I did wado ryu and kickboxing.to black belt level and still miss it loads

I can highly recommend martial arts.I.Did.it.for about ten years before having the kids

@Cherrie1969 can I suggest you take up weights, its so good for your body shape and awesome fun

To be honest Carly I dont take any vitamins unless i remember the multivit I have in the cupboard. I take my mirtazipine and aripiprazole (ablify)(antidepressants) and take prescription strength iron with it but thats all i take. I need to look at vit B and D I just havent done so yet. Its payday friday so will look into…

Mostly weights. In and out atm with some personal stuff going on but lurking and reading and helping if I think I can

Hope it's resolved quickly.for you honey. I've bathed kids. House still a mess

If I'm honest I'm with your mom. Could be worse ways to go than through carbs. Glad it's working for you guys though Am so very tired today and so much to do. Staying awake after nights as I have no childcare, house is a mess so needs.cleaning, kids need bathing, I'm gonna try and read some research too

Thanks guys. So glad VLC is working for you Cari. Hopefully it will be exactly what you need to balance out your body a little. I went back to my doc today and kinda blurted out loads of stuff without seeming to make any sense at all. She said I seemed depressed and I got my pants in a twist about the tiredness, bottom…

Glad you are feeling good. Check in and tell us about it

Nancy Im fairly sure people will understand you yard saleing a lot of your stuff. Like you say you have so much you cant take it all with you. Cari sounds like the plan is going well. Seriously with Reggie though do you care enough to make all this drama worth it? You seem to have had like 5 years worth in a very short…

Good luck with the reorganise hopefully you will sleep well.I seem to be the exact opposite of manic I'm still exhausted

And ty both of you

Will come back to this properly but i did give it a read. Ive got an appt with my gp on 17th. Unfortunately as its not a buy in system like the US its difficult to pick and choose a doc but gonna go back and have another rant at them. I ended up bursting into tears to my husband about it all tonight. He thinks its been 2-3…

Lindt is pretty nice they do a dark with sea salt

Thanks for not posting the long message I appreciate the sentiment though. Well I'm not entirely sure whats going on right atm. I am having another bout of super stupid tiredness. Its been going on 1-2 years now. Im almost always exhausted anyway but I have bouts where it gets way worse and I can barely make it through the…

Cant think of this atm but will come back to it

Let us know

Sorry you are rough atm Cari. Dont blame you for falling into a chocolate bar though having tried Hersheys I have to say American chocolate is rank. Tastes like soap to me after being used to Cadbury for years. Maybe I should send you some dairy milk but I dont wanna ruin your plan more xxx

Glad you are back xx

Have heard of this. Makes me think of horses usually but I've heard it's good

It's stillpretty low well done

Yeah Im happy with whatever the group wants to do, weekly, 10 day either really

Thankyou I think shes pretty awesome :) Well ive not been back on track today though ive been better. I have some serious thinking to do. I seem to be in an all or nothing mind frame atm and i know its not healthy or helpful. Im either bingeing or restricting and. I need to stop both and go back to my 1700 cals. I skipped…

I think its sleep deprivation plus I have missed some meds recently and my head is not where it should be. Yesterday I got one hours sleep after my night shift but coped surprisingly well. I even went to the gym. But today ive been all over the place. I have been feeling sick and shaky and my driving has been appalling.…

You didnt finish 2nd to last at all as I see it. If 5 people dropped out you came above all of them as well

Have had one hours sleep. Will try and read and catch up later. Sorry

I'm starting a 5 dayer from tomorrow after drowning myself in chocolate and spending all day sleeping and cuddling my babes today

Thats brilliant progress! Glad you are doing so much better. Well I have also written tonight. Our little motivation thread got me thinking about a short blog post. So I had a bit of a writing session whilst watching one of my all time faves (Rocky. I cant resist it and hubs is out so the TV is mine)…
