Ah another day another beating! It's DOUBLE kickboxing tonight! YAHOOOOO! I have packed a Kendal Mint Cake bar that I found in the back of the cupboard Anyone want to guess the nutrition I have no idea and my internet sources are letting me down. Google clearly thinks it's for walkers only and extreme athletes who don't care how many calories are in it! Oh and nutrition on the back of the packet would just be TOO much to ask!
Skived off my run yesterday and decided to kickbox at home instead. I did about 10 minutes after my weights - but I am feeling more confident That's my excuse anyway!
Frus - it sounds like you've got a great relationship and I wouldn't think that marriage would change it. (The ceremony is only a few words - its your intention about the meaning of those words that matters.) I promise that you don't have to be 'grown up' to be married, I was still riding motorbikes and going to bike shows with my biker mates after I married DH, it was only after an operation gone wrong that I had to stop.
Mands - good luck for today. I'm struggling as well - I got so desperate about it that I convinced myself my scales were broken so yesterday we went to Asda (via the Chinese supermarket) and went to the homestyle bit / bathroom stuff aisle and stood on all their scales to see if I got a different reading, but I didn't.
I went to stretching class at 7.30 this morning. I was the only bunny signed up, so I had a one on one session with the trainer, which was fantastic. I feel much better now. My hamstrings are really tight from my sessions earlier in the week. Swimming helped a bit. I am sure if I swum everyday my legs would be much better!
I'm no grown up, I think I get younger as I get older, if that makes sense!!!
Um Ms Frus, I think it's better not to know the nutrition of a Kendall mint cake, it's basically pure sugar with a bit of peppermint essence! Yummy though!!
Hey just whilst I'm on, anyone know what to buy for an expectant mum, my friend Hiba is 5 weeks away from having little Shane (it's a boy - she's Muslim - so it won't actually be called shane, but that's another story). I want to get her something rather than the bub, but I'm a bit stuck. £20 is the budget. Answers on a postcard please
Sarah that is completely BONKERS don't worry about the scales!
Kyk - if you can have a Mars Bar, I am having a Kendal Mint Cake I have a 2000kcal day today and I usually struggle to make it up, so I decided to have a treat, and then I found the mint cake in my cupboard so there we are.
Hmmm baby presents! How about a premium bond?? I think I have some! Er.. I have bought a cute little hat for my kickboxing instructor's almost-there daughter. It says "Hello World" I'm also going to buy black booties (If I can find any) and embroider them with the club logo and red stripes down the side. Maybe try to find something that's personal to them. I know baby things can get quite boring and the same. How about a first curl box (I know you can get some from jewellers and probably Argos), that's quite cute, or a lovely baby album and write something special inside it to start off. Er... I'm flagging now! You'll find something! Ooooh do you knit? Baby blankets are nice - or a patchwork baby quilt! I know you're a crafty person
I wasn't saying you can't have it, just not worry about the nutrition Coz there isn't any
No knitting or patchwork for me, no time!!! I'm holiday this week so tomorrow is the last time I will see her before Shane pops out. And I want to get something for her rather than the baby, coz work are buying baby gifts and I wanted to get something more personal. No idea what though!!! I shall go to Boots tonight and see what I can rustle up.
In that case you need pampering products, and pillow spray to help get a relaxing night's sleep and relaxing bubble bath things and eye masks and foot cream and stuff - make a nice hamper of it! Good plan
Hope everyone else is okay.... I been going over old photos recently as part of my new years res this year was to finally put all those loose pictures into albums and get organised so been looking at how thin I was 10 years ago... okay I was not thin thin, but I wish I was that size now...
Shed a few tears over it, a few mumbles to friends but have decided that only I can get myself down in size... there is never going to be a magical potion that will help and wls is something I could not do!
The other thing in my life is that I am desperate to be a mother, a single one and I know dropping 100lbs will make that a lot easier for me. My urge to have children is more than ever since I was diagnosed with PCOS last year....
So I have dreams like most of us but only I can fulfil them!
That was my turning point too, when I realised I had to take ownership of the state I was in, and no one else was going to do it for me. I kept hoping that the weight would suddenly fall off, but of course, that was never going to happen!!!!
I've sort of got beyond wanting babies, I feel a bit too old for motherhood now, mainly because my partner is 54. If I had babies at say 38 by the time they were 15 he'd be 74!!! I couldn't cope with that, as I think he's going to be a high maintenance wrinky!!! (gosh I'm glad he doesn't come on here!!!)
You can't call a baby Shane, people will think he's named after ShaYne Ward. I would have said get Lush things as they seem to be the in thing for people who like to smell nice.
Mmm. Lush. I need some of that to cheer me up today. The car was rather more expensive to repair than I was hoping. A lot more. I'm not a happy bunny, although at least it now works and I can get to Stansted tomorrow night.
I did a 45 minute swim today, no running for a change. I'm planning another 10k tomorrow, as fast as I can.
I really should pack tonight but I just want to curl up and hide somewhere, I'm feeling really crap for no apparent reason. Hopefully I'll be a bit more enthusiastic this time tomorrow when I have a weekend away to look forward to. Sadly I won't be following my own advice and will do virtually no walking while I'm away on the basis I have at least 12 hours of driving to get through
Ah chuffing ****. Only 2lb this week folks. I had been extra good, I practically ate nothing. Used stairs more etc... I was told I had probably not eaten enough! Oh fooey.
So today I had a Bacon sandwich (free food Bacon, bread healthy option) a huge salad with ham (ham free food), then a tin of Sainsburys extra lean steak in gravy (free food) with potatoes (healthy option) and brocolli.
If I now go and put weight on, i'm giving up!! They tell you to pig out on free food, but. Oh I dunno.
