Thanks Theresa, I must invest in some new ones soon.

Tanya, good to hear you are back to your proper routine tomorrow, good luck chick xx

 

[summergurl]

I actually can't wait Mary.
Im not looking forward to tonight in work as i am absolutly shattered, even with 2 hours kip this afternoon. But, once its over i'll be back into routine thankfully! lol

 

[JanD]

Well done Tanya, bet you are made up!!!!


Jan,

I have the same scales and they work by putting a minute electric current through you, which is why they are unsuitable for people with pacemakers. They measure how fast the current goes through and this gives a fat percentage.

Well you learn something every day! Thanks for that x

Oooooo and WELL DONE on that 8lb loss!!!

Tanya, I am looking into Nordic walking...apparently it: -

exercises your whole body
calorie burning increases when using poles by an average of 20% ompared with ordinary walking.
energy consumption up to 46% higher!

AND LOTS MORE THINGS BESIDES...

I am trying to organise a private group lesson for 2 hrs. It is good if you have knee or joint problems and arthritis!!Enjoyable too as you can go with a group as there are lots of groups doing these Nordic walks every weekend.

Have a look at their website...cant type it here as a link, but it is nordicwalking . co . uk

Might be something different to just walking and an alternative/extra to running!!

It does feel good when we are back on track and following a routine. You will soon get back into the swing of things, dont forget, you have had a hectic couple of weekends, what with being away and your Dads party.

Hi Tanya,

I don't know if you have an iphone or not, but there's a great app called 'couch to 5k' which builds up your running week by week. Three sessions a week, starting with short runs with walks in between. I did it earlier this year and it was fantastic. It literally talks you through everything and gives great encouragement. I'm now almost up to an hour's running at a time and enjoying it. I'd strongly recommend giving it a try...

You don't need an iphone, I downloaded the podcasts onto my MP3 player. The musics not my taste at all, but I was too busy concentrating on not passing out for the first few weeks to notice! LOL! I startes AGES ago, but am now up to W5D3 (20mins running) when I couldn't run for ONE minute when I started? It's a good way to build up your stamina?
Oh, and theres a thread for us on the fitness forum (though it's been a bit quiet lately...)!

Irish, where do you get your downloads from? Are they free? And does it got through with you like ok now walk for x seconds, now run for x seconds? like tells you when to run and walk?

Edit: Not to worry sweetie i found it! Im guna do this one! I think im guna get on better with this than just going in all guns blazing trying to run!

 

[kered]

Menu looks good Tanya - I have not had Soreen in ages........now you have the seed planted in my brain, lets see if I can resist haha.

 

[summergurl]

hahah soweeee Mary!

 

[JanD]

HaHa - I used to like soreen too - not sure about the custard tho' - give me butter anytime

You're getting there Tan - routine's good - helps to keep us on track.

I've got that download somewhere - on my MP3 player I think ... but that's as far as I've ever got with it LOL xx

:giggle: Im determined to do it. I wana be able to get more than my required 5.4 in the shuttle run during my officer safety training. Im guna smash that level! :giggle: :fingerscrossed:

Thanks Iris. Will look into that, but im not sure i could do it if its like a class where you have to pay..

I think you have to pay to start.....have a taster...there was an article in the freebie paper where you could pay £5 for a 45 min taster. I think once you have the sticks you can walk anywhre,,,but yes, it would probably cost money at the start sweetie!!

I am with Jan on this one, give me a scraping of lurpak on my soreen any day :8855:

Now custard with treacle or syrup sponge is another matter.

 

[JanD]

Ooooo I LOVE syrup sponge with LOADS of custard That's what I had on my birthday .. YUMMY!!!

Oh btw - bugger a SCRAPING of lurpak ... how rude!

 

[summergurl]

I put soreen in my mums lunch the other day, butterd it with the dreaded clover (she bloomin loves the stuff) and i put a thin scraping on, asked if that was ok and she looked at me as if i was having a laugh and told me to whack some more on there she don't do thin layers!!!! :giggle:

Also, had 2 slices of cheese and some ham dipped into a little onion & garlic dip when i got home from work just now.
