Hope you feel better Penguin, and I can totally relate with the cramps, I have really bad cramps my first day. i just have to lie down with a hot water bottle and take it easy.

Awww Onderchic, I'm so sorry about your Father . May he rest in peace. He would be so proud of you, you've lost an incredible amount of weight, it is SO impressive!!! you totally rock!!! you have such a beautiful and encouraging heart.

Well done on the cardio!

My exercise confession. I played tennis for 2 hours. It was a gorgeous day, blue sky, sun shining, perfect weather for tennis i'm glad i went. When I was going to the tube station on the way back, i noticed a shelf of books with a sign, Free books take one! lol and so i did! Picked it up cause i liked the cover , called Labrynth By Kate Moss, apparently a bestseller, didnt get much time to sift through the others, as the kind tran station guy told me my next train was up in 3 minutes. what nice people eh!
and i noticed these beautiful trees and flowers on my way to the tennis club. it must be the gabriel method rubbing off on me! haha I listened to it last night, and I imagined myself waking up at 9am, as he said.

and would you believe it. I woke up at 8.59!! by myself! i was stunned when i looked at my mobile clock. but i stayed in bed for another half an hour hehehe. but spooky eh! i've heard that it happens that when you tell yourself you need to wake up at a certain time, you do. spooky!

I'm going to take today as my rest day instead of tomorrow. I have a nasty headache right now and I just don't think I can get on the Stairmaster.

Onderchic, your dad would be very proud of you!

Penguin, I hope you are feeling better.
I haven't been doing the extended stretch segment, but I really should. I usually just add on my own stretches, but next week I am going to add it on. I am doing cardio on the days inbetween the weight workouts. I found it hard in meso 1 but I am enjoying meso 2 and don't find it as hard to fit in the cardio. Of course I only just finished week 1 of meso 2

Echo, sounds like you had a great day playing tennis. Good for you!

Have a wonderful day everyone

awww Thanks Narnia!! :-)

and good idea about resting. its important to listen to your body. no point punishing yourself over it.

Hope your headache soon passes. and you have a good workout tommorow instead makes sense to swap it over!

Not getting much formal exercise today. Hubby invited my parents over for dinner on the spur of the moment, so we've been busy getting the house cleaned, putting an extra leaf in the table, hanging the new curatins.

I bought some steak a few days back and didn't freeze it, I told Hubby we had to eat it today, so he invited my parents to help us eat it. Then apaologized for making them eat steak! LOL

I'm feeling better, thanks for the well wishes. My cramps are gone but I'm still feeling tired.

Chic, Hope your day is going well! What part of TN did you live? Anywhere near me?

I've been to Ripley! Not recently, I haven't been anywhere recently.

I think we invented the stay-cation!

I am going to join in here, if no one minds

I am on a rebound journey to get back on track and I know that for me everything follows my exercise patterns. i took off 35 pounds and maintained that weight for over a year, but major lifestyle changes allowed old habits to creep back in and before I knew it the weight was back on.

The good thing is I know what works for my body and I learned from this whole experience that it all depends on exercise for me. When I am working out out I LOVE it and crave it and eating healthy is very easy. When my workouts slip my eating is close behind, when I pick up workouts the eating is easy again.

So, this is the perfect group for me. I need to get back to exercising and I just know the eating will follow suit. So...I hope no one minds me joining in. I could use the accountablity to get this going again.


Today, my goal is to go for a walk (half hour at least, shooting for an hour though), and to do the Yoga Fat Burning routine from our on demand channel..it is almost an hour long but I used to love doing it, always made me feel so good afteward. I think it's a good start.
