Thank you Gill! I know they do make me laugh too! Planning another good week with the exception of Sunday when I go to York for the day... Going to an exercise bootcamp tonight as well hope that gives me a boost, even though it will be torture!

 

[g_2012]

That sounds really good! I have never done a bootcamp but they do look really hard! Let me know if its any good

I can't wait to be able to get fit again. Am a lot more mobile now and have a few exercises that I can start to do to strengthen my legs again so been doing overkill on them

I love York, had my hen weekend there a few years ago. I hope the weather is nice for you!

Pleased you are getting a lot more mobile, won't be long until your back up and running and at the gym! My friend loves the bootcamp and she's been trying to get me to go but they are doing a taster session tonight for free so I said I'd give it a try, it's just that when you do it you have to follow their meal plans and it is VERY expensive and I'm very happy with SW so don't want to change my diet if they could just charge for the exercise that would be ideal!

Well York is just down the road from us so we go regularly I love it! and yes I am praying for good weather there are 24 of us going down for a day of drinking and eating so a beer garden is a must

 

[g_2012]

Sounds brilliant!!

Ah understand about the meal plans, especially when you have done so well with SW and are so close to target would probably be interesting to see what their meal plans are like and how they compare to SW.

I have had personal training sessions in the past and they were soooo hard! I thought I was going to be sick quite a few times then couldn't walk for a few days after haha, but it does feel good when your muscles ache because at least you know they have worked hard

[Iwanttobeslimplease]

Hi Gemma,

Hope WI in was ok.

I have had a nightmare weekend i feel like someone has pumped me up, like you i will take the gain as i deserve it but i would be so upset with myself.

I just have a quick question you might be able to help with. I have been doing red and green days but its proved difficult over the weekend so have done red and green but also a few extra easy days, have you ever done this? Do you think it could be ok?

 

[g_2012]

How was WI hun?
