She got to squat throw it in the air and squat again to catch it, and they did that thing where she wizzed it around over her tummy lying on her back!

I watched a bit of the 65 kg ladies weightlifting at the Commonwealth Games yesterday, very inspiring!!!

Oh I forgot about that one.... :lol: I'm sure you could do squats or something... and weighted crunches... I'll look closer when I'm feeling less full of ice cream like last night!

YP - how were those apricot oat bar thingies? Can you post the recipe?

I want a medicine ball to throw at dh :lol: I'm having all pink stuff in my room, a pink yoga mat, pink fitball and I will jolly well have a pink medicine ball too!!!

ooh sounds nice the pinkness I mean.
I went to the gym today 30 mins stepper, 20 mins bike now i'm off to walk to uni

Pink medicine ball :chin: Hmmmmm

I just ran 44 minutes! Er only covered 5.7k though :rolleyes: I paced myself because I thought it would be tough going. It wasn't that bad and there was still fuel left in the tank! Good things I suppose! Oh and the gods were watching over me, cos as I was flagging at the 40 minute mark, The Day We Caught The Train came over my MP3! YAY! I love running to that song!! :D

Well - what a fun morning that was! I saw an ad for something called Qui Gong and another one for yoga so I thought I'd try them out. I should have phoned first.

The whole thing was on a pretty tight schedule, I got up at 6, left the house at 7 walked the dogs until 8.45 (7 miles), came home, got changed + had a coffee then walked a couple of miles to the weird little building holding the Qui Gong class. Qui Gong turned out to be a version of Tai Chi. When I got there the room was full of 80 year olds, I thought that it was going to be easy - but all the 80 year olds knew exactly what they were doing and were very good at it. I was stood at the front and they laughed at me as I couldn't stand with my eyes shut without falling over and had problems standing on one leg. At the end of the hour I was definitely warm!

I left the Qui Gong place at 10.30 and walked/trotted another couple of fast miles to the yoga place for the 90 minute class starting at 11. It turned out to be the classical form of yoga and not the more active type. Silly me, I was actually disappointed. Once again the class consisted entirely of little old ladies, but this time I didn't underestimate them, they were GOOD! One of them was so supple she was able to do a pose where she had to stand on one leg and bring the other back, up and round so that the sole of her foot was touching the top of her head!!! I still couldn't stand on one leg though - and all my muscles are aching.

I'm exhausted - and my computer has just flashed up a reminder that today is one of my strength training days! :(

wooo! What fun!

Never underestimate the power of LOLs (little old ladies...)

My yoga teacher is an amazingly bendy LOL. She's fantastic. I love yoga!!! I can't wait to do more.

Just need more hours in the day!!!

I actually walked to town this morning, I missed the bus so decided as I had time to kill I would walk into town!

Ouch - I've done my strength training - I think I'll just stick with my walking and strength training and the occasional blast on the stationary bike from now on. Those little old ladies are a formidable bunch!

I might treat myself to a book on Qui Gong or Tai Chi though - that was very calming (except for the bit when I fell over).

I like tai chi, but I don't get to do it very often, it's at the wrong times at both work and the gym, sigh. I want to try Pilates must book into a course, I might try and blag a free pass!!!

I'm making frittata for tea, and I am gonna try and have it for breakfast tomorrow!!!

I'm going straight to the gym after work, and then asda and then home, oh what fun. I tried to do my grocery shopping at ramsbottom this weekend, but the supermarkets are useless!

I'm eating veg kebabs but I've done double marinade for half the veg it's a bit lemony! I'm still eating them all though. :devil:

Hello everyone

Glad to see you are all doing so well.

I had huge computer problems, and I also didn't feel that good, another crop of coldsores and felt exhausted. However I am feeling much better. My weight is still the same but I feel good hormones must be at a good level.

Take good Care

I walked to uni and back - somehow managed to get there 10 mins earlier than normal despite wearing a skirt (all my jeans are in the wash) big mistake its long and there wasn't enough leg room to walk so I had to hitch it right up. I don't do lady like steps its all about the power walking.

Frus - I found the oat bars very oily, and want to play around with the recipe a bit before posting something. They are very filling though, with porridge oats and tofu, but I want to find something better than the oil it used to bind the whole lot together.

I haven't exercised today, but hopefully I'll be back on track tomorrow morning. I came clean about the marathon plan to my boss today, she's now convinced I've been abducted by aliens and replaced by someone else!
