Well...... Ow! The chap worked me hard! Low squats x 3 sets. Lunges x 3 sets. Kettle bell swings. Vipper drives. Lunge jumps. Fast on the spot running. Tricep dips. Press ups. I was too knackered after my 30 min session to do anything else. My iron level is def low low low! I was out of breath for it all.

it was a PT session with curtis, a young lad. was good. hard but good. if it's hard i know it'll do me good as it'll be working muscles that i don't normally work that hard.

zumba in 30 mins and i'm shattered. def iron is low. i know it, really really know it.

Sorry you were so pooped, ladies. I hope the iron tabs help you soon, Nikki.

Please have a lovely day in York. I love York. I chose to "walk" from Peterborough to York (between now and Christmas). It is about 128 miles north. I am not very good with directions, so I am heading up the A1.

I hope you have a better day at work, Sal.

Unhappy . Got a letter today to say that Emily is overweight. According to them she has a bmi centile of 94 and is 21.7kgs where she should be between the 2nd and 90th centile. Now I weighed ems a few weeks ago and she was 40lb and just above normal on the health chart. It's ridiculous that they've sent me a leaflet and told us we have to make changes in her lifestyle. She's very active both at school and at home. She has swimming lessons and does tumble tots. She bikes in the summer and goes on walks. We did a 5k together in the summer for race for life! So it looks like she's going on a diet too!

Arent "they" just horrible, and just so mean to a child that is just growing! I remember clearly being weighed and measured as a child and then being put on a diet by my mother. As far as I am concerned this was the start of my trouble! I think if I'd have just been left for my height and weight to level out I'd have been ok.

I dont want to sound all doom and gloom. I know too well how hard it is to parent (and step parent). It just worries me when a happy, healthy active child has an overweight marker put over them.

Now breathe!

depressed. i've decided that i need time out right now. probably not the best judgement as tomorrow i'm going to be hungry and starting again but i've had it. i'm thoroughly fed up! if i put on it's going to be all my fat fault.

normally i'd eat nuts but hubby refuses to go out and get me some and i'm in my pjs. i'm tired, overly tired. i feel my iron is far too low and i'm struggling with my life/diet balance. in york, in betty's i wish i could have had a dessert.... something amazing! i didn't. this diet is just bl**dy anti-social. sick sick sick.

 

[bluegirl]

It is anti social, it is really really crap, but it bloody works!

If you stick at it just for tonight and see how you feel in the morning. If you still need time out then take it. But tonight, stick to it, drink lots (of water) and if you have an extra pack have it.

Promise, it wont feel so grim in the morning

xxxxx

Emily pics.

 

[Tano]

It's bloody disgusting that they should say she is fat! She looks perfectly healthy and extremely happy! Well done you xxx

 

[bluegirl]

Ahh beautiful babies! You sound be a very proud mummy x

 

[Surfhunny]

Ignore it Nikki, Ems is NOT fat. FT came home with a similar letter a few years ago and he was bordering on skinny, it's no wonder kids end up getting eating disorders!!

 

[MinnieMel]

Seriously Nikki -- They went by her height and weight -- they did not weigh her water. Just as you are muscular and have low body fat, I am sure Ems is the same. You should have Ems go and kick their ^ss. I am sure she could!
