Well I've got an app on my iPhone (can probably get it on android too) called skimble that has all different workouts and it's all free. There's loads of different levels of fitness and lengths too. I do an easy sun salutation yoga when I need a stretch after a workout and seems to help with the aches.

Or I have Netflix set up on my Xbox and if you change it to the American version there's loads of those 10 minute solution DVDs to watch on demand. Think they are pretty cheap to buy from amazon too but Netflix is only £6 a month for thousands of films and tv shows. Trying to get in the habit of at least doing a walk and 10mins Pilates on rest days. X

Thanks love!! I'll download that app and try to do them in the mornings to stop the ache! X

 

[icklerockchick]

Oh and warning the robotic voice is really strange but once you get over that fact it does seem like a great app so many workouts so no chance of getting bored x

 

[charl_young]

Haha!! Brilliant, thank you! X

 

[charl_young]

Did 3rd day running of the shred! Wow I'm getting better already! The lunges are super hard and had a leave a few out as my legs were too achy and still crap at push ups but definitely better than day 1! And no shakes after! happy days! X

Ok went a little over I wanted to with syns yesterday so made my plan last night for today and went and did a shop after the school run so I won't last minute buy something bad just because I fancy it. I hate how high coconut milk is! Grr! Going to have a green day as bf made some really nice pesto at the weekend and I've been dying to eat it without using too many syns!

GREEN DAY - Wednesday

[icklerockchick]

Why don't you try weekly syns if you find you got over a couple days? Personal preference of course but it defo suited me better as could be but naughtier at weekend then make up for it during the week x

 

[charl_young]

I think I'm going to from Friday yes, I definitely think it'll be easier for me, some days I really want to snack and others I not bothered, saying that it's pretty much what I've been doing this week although I only have like 1 syn left for tomorrow, I think I'll make a big pot of Superfree soup though incase I get the munchies! Xx

 

[charl_young]

Oh my god.. I just did day 4 of the shred. I definitely need a rest day tomorrow, I couldn't do some of the cardio, i'm definitely stronger and can do the abs stuff better and go deeper into the moves but my body is tired and really sore, I might go for a swim tomorrow to loosen up and stretch my muscles out, going to get my injections for Thailand!! Eek eek! I booked my trains to heathrow too! 7 weeeeeks!

 

[icklerockchick]

All her other DVDs recommend some rest days and apparantly shred was meant to be the same but ended up getting marketed as having to do it for 30 days. So dont feel bad about some rest days especially if you are doing walking/swimming etc on those days! X

 

[charl_young]

I totally forgot to do yoga today to help the pain as I actually wasnt that sore today until I tried to use the muscles again. Maybe I should do some yoga when I wake up, shred before lunch, then walk/swim. God I can't believe I'm even contemplating this much exercise it's so not like me!! That skimble app is brilliant, love it, thanks xx

 

[icklerockchick]

Ooh check u out! Yeh it's pretty good such a massive variety on there and like that you can pick something to suit how much time and intensity level x

 

[charl_young]

haha! so much for getting up and doing those things!! BF woke me up at 6 when he came to bed and I watched friday the 13th and went back to sleep until 12!! I think I needed it though as been sleeping really badly lately and my body probably needed a good rest too so nice 10 hour sleeps for me I do plan on making this my plan tomorrow if that makes sense. I think we're going out for lunch saturday so if I do this at least I won't feel guilty for eating more. I'm itching for WI tomorrow as even though I have definitely gone over weekly syns this week I have exercised everyday since sunday, which I've never done before. I just subscribed to your SF thread laura, I like looking at your meals for inspiration when I do green days as loads of the stuff on SW and WW are the same really. How are you finding SF? Do you think you are doing better on it? You must be really close to your goal now, well done!! xx

Ok foods been a little off this week, but still I haven't had a drink for nearly 2 weeks and have been shredding and walking everyday so I think it might be ok to just go a tiny bit over syns, as lets face it, most weeks I have no idea my actual syn intake from boozing! And its only going to be about 5 over. Liked my green day yesterday, I need to do more of them, as I find my calorie count stays lower too not mixing protein and carbs. Actually I haven't made a food plan yet today so I might have a red day.

I deleted this as it was all wrong! weekend updates below!

 

[charl_young]

Well I've been doing something a little different this weekend, I've been calorie counting for a while now, and last weekend went v over syns but still kept my cal intake down the rest of the week, and had about 10 syns a day still. So this weekend I haven't drank or eaten like a pig but I haven't been eating SW food at all, I've been cal counting still though and have been under my cals all weekend despite having what SW would call loads of syns. I'll put it all on here but not count the syns, and just keep my syns to around 10 a day again until WI and see if the same thing happens this week as last week as that would be awesome!! Still keeping to SW principles of Hex's though. So not going over my daily dairy/bread allowance.
