Advice for the PrawnchopSuey

I barely last the 45 minutes Donna!! And I can certainly feel it in my 'lunging' muscles the next day... Don't know about fit but hopefully getting fitter :)
 
How did weigh in go? I'm weighting (get it) with baited breath..
 
STS this week. To be honest am pleased as I have been having a lot of chocolate - no self-control, I'm rubbish.

I'm hoping that I've now got the munchies out of my system now and that I can refocus... Hoping for a loss next week even though this weekend will be a busy one :)

On the plus side, I haven't lost my Club 10 shiny and I have also reached Silver body magic today after 8 weeks of exercise 4-5 times a week :)
Will continue as I am but am not sure about going for the gold award as I don't think 5 sessions a week of exercise is sustainable for me in the long run. I know that any activity counts, not just sport but the nature of my job / commute means that I don't get any activity in as part of my day to day routine.

Right, refocus, aiming for 1.5lbs off this week...
 
:) Monday - green

Breakfast - banana

Lunch - leftover roast veg and couscous
apple, pear

Snack - fibre plus bar (HexB)

Dinner - baked beans on cheesy (HexA) toast (HexB + 4 syns)
Mini crunchie bar (4 syns)

Total syns: 8

Been at college tonight so no exercise, just did a slendertone session though. Going for a 100% week, need to pull my socks up :)
 
Glad you're pleased with your STS.
Good luck in your 1.5lb this week, I'm sure you can do it!!
And I definitely think Silver is enough for you considering the amount and pace of exercise you're doing!!
 
Well done on a STS this week. I think sometimes a STS is a bonus in itself
 
Truthfully, I probably did deserve a gain so was pleased with an STS!! Am back on track now though. Joined the October Flabfighter challenge and Ali has some very inspiring words :)

:) Tuesday - green

Breakfast - banana mid-morning

Lunch - pasta with chopped toms and crushed chillis
2 pears

Snack - fibre plus bar (HexB), apple

Have been busy hoovering and bed making this evening (got guests this weekend so am trying to be organised!), and have done a slendertone session. Going to do my Steps DVD now before shower and bed (oooh, gotta love fresh clean sheets :) ).
 
Update: did Steps DVD then my gymball DVD as well :eek:

Just got disgusted with my fat slapping about while i did the aerobics, so tried to tone it all up in 30mins. Wishful thinking ;)
 
At this rate you will be getting your gold body magic!!

Agree about fresh sheets - I love fresh sheets!!

Are you doing anything nice this weekend with guests staying over?
 
now this Steps DVD that you enjoy so much, please tell me it doesn't feature H and Claire? lol
 
Why_D - It sooooo DOES!!!! Well, it has Claire but unfortunately H must have had other celebrity commitments for the afternoon it took to film ;)
She got quite large after Steps - there's photos on the DVD box and everything. And no doubt she got thin again by doing aerobics to her own hit tunes every day! Maybe...
Although apparently she's gained weight again. Rock and roll :)

Thanks Sarah, am very excited about this weekend, got 5 friends from uni coming to stay and we are off to York races on Saturday. It's not often we all get together nowadays with people living all over the place so there will be lots of gossiping. Am going to stick to plan though as best I can - i think we'll have a meal out but I'm not going to drink and will try to make sensible choices. I really do want a loss this week :)
Have taken Friday off work as well to clean and bake and stuff, so a 4-day week at work is quite exciting in itself!
 
Wowee sounds like you'll have a fab weekend at the races!
And 5 friends staying over?? That's very brave, no wonder you started sorting it all out last night!

I remember seeing Claire on celebrity masterchef a couple of years ago - she was really good and I thought she would have gone a lot further. I remember then thinking she'd put on weight but I don't think that was at her biggest.
 
ah yes, i remember seeing Claire promote that DVD/and her wedding. sad to hear it's all back on again! love that she used Steps tunes in the DVD shame H and Lisa couldnt have made cameos... lol
 
Hello lovely!
I am back and thought I'd say hiiii!
I have been itching to do some exercise since reading about all that you are doing so have signed back up for Bootcamp! uh-oh! So - thank you for that!! :D

Sounds like you're going to have a busy, busy weekend - I love catching up with all my girlfriends! Also sounds like you've got a plan to stay on the SW wagon so fingers crossed for you! Have a good one x
 
Hi Kat - nice to have you back!! Bootcamp??! You're a brave lady, I think that would finish me off ;) !

Done Slendertone and more housework but no proper exercise... It's getting a bit late now but I'll do something tomorrow instead. Popped to the shopping outlet near work on the way home so didn't have time! I'm sure that's a valid excuse!! Bought a long chunky cardigan (Size M, wowsers!) and a tea dress (Size 14!!) from Monsoon at 70% off... Must have been generous sizes, but still, means I'll be trying on the 14 and the 16 of everything in the future JUST IN CASE!!! :)
 
Oooh your dress sounds like a bargain!! And congrats on fitting into a 14 - you must be sooo pleased!!

And yes I do think that shopping is a perfectly valid excuse not to do any exercise, and surely all that walking round the shops carrying clothes on hangers must class as some sort of exercise... ??
 
Reminds me that I need to hit the Cheshire Outlet Mall soon for those Monsoon discounts :)
Gosh you doing all that body magic puts me to shame. Really need to sign up for the gym or something.
 
Hi Prawn, good work on the shopping, size smaller and in the sale, double yay! Hope you have a lovely weekend at the races x
 
Thanks Sarah, yes I'm sure an hour wandering round the shops counts as a body magic session!
Thanks Meli, yes do get yourself down there, ours had in all the things from the Sale section on the Monsoon website as well as other things. Some real bargains to be had. I remember going in the Summer and all men's clothing was £5!! OH got over £200 worth of clothes for £15!
Glad you enjoyed France Lou :)
