Gym clothes should be okay - doesn't matter if they're a little loose (as long as the bottoms don't fall down, obviously!!)

My OH just bought me a curry, so need to amend my food diary for today accordingly - no guilt though after all that exercise this morning, and not TOO much over the days max syns (I start on Saturdays after weigh in at gym, so will just have to make sure I make up for it in the week).

What do you do at the gym? Classes or self-motivated stuff? The new release Body Combat and Body Pump were good fun. I'm lucky to have a DW Sports Fitness Gym 5 mins walk from my front door. Cheap and lots of classes, as well as a nice little pool.

I do weights and cardio. I sometimes go to class. I have been going for years but slacked majorly over the past 3 months and lost my tone ohh that's good mines a 15 min walk away and no pool I'd love to start swimming again though xx

I love going, but find that once out of the habit (after a holiday or illness) it's just SO hard to get your routine back. I know I'm really lucky to have a good gym so convenient to me. Plus I go with a friend who lives over the road from me, so we motivate each other to go (most of the time).

Your doing great, keep up the good work. My plan was start walking today and maybe a work out DVD but silly me went over on my ankle on Friday night :-( never wearing heels again lol x

Ooo - that hurts. I did that really badly once when I was drunk at someone challenged me to a dance-off at a punk gig. I'm sure it never healed quite the same again, as I always really struggle getting my pull-on biker boot on that foot (the other is no bother at all, and that one wasn't when I got them either). Hope it gets better soon. In the meantime, what about a gentle swim? That's non-weight bearing at least.

I know I am exactly the same, i didnt go for a week in october and it turned into 9weeks ahhh. If I see any of my friends up there I grab them to train with.... They call me a drill sergeant lol. Def back into a routine now though xxx

As you can see, I'm making the most of my HExs today and having double whammy breakfast (the usual boiled eggs AND some cereal.) Not sure if I need to count syns for Chocolate Weetabix Spoonsize or not. Will try to find out during the course of today. No probs if I do - it was very nice (as a change - not every day though).
Challenge for today...

Well, according to this thread the mini's a a HExB without adding extra syns (if it was the big ones, then I'd have had to add 2 syns). Glad they only had the mini ones in Asda now!! lol

Oooooh I might try those. Neeed chocolaty things on my life.
I am aching to death after the intense weights session last night, lunges and squats are the devil ha x

 

[Lucky7]

I just discovered a new chocolate hit - quick and easy, and the only washing up is a mug and a fork!



2 syn chocolate pudding!! (ta daaaaaaa) :bliss:

Whisk up one egg in a mug
Mix in a choc options sachet (I used dark choc and also added a teaspoon of sweetner)
Cook on full power in the microwave for 1 minute.

I shall be making this again tomorrow and topping it with my fave white choc topping...

Third of a tub quark
Tablespoon sweetener
White choc options
Half a vanilla vff activia (or Mullerlight I suppose)

Mix it all up - thick, creamy and DELISH.

OMG! If I slice my choc pud in half I can use the white choc creamy stuff and defrosted cherries in the middle and on top.
Black forest gateaux!! I can't wait!!

Oooo - lunges and squats. They're killer!

Did you see the 2 syn choc pud???? Sounds like you've earned one! (Or several). xx

Just seen it now. I will be making that for 2 syns, is that including the topping too? Does it go like cakey? Xxx

No - topping is my own thing (I usually put it with fruit) and is another 2 syns. so with the topping 4 syns. There are probably lower syn ways of making a topping, but the white chocolate one is my fave (I buy quark and big jars of white choc options (which I really DON'T like as a drink) especially for it). You can get away with a bit of a different flavour VFF yogurt though. That just stops the quark being quite so thick.

And, yes. It does go cakey / Spongy (and tastes nice and chocolatey - I was relieved that it doesn't taste eggy at all).

That's what I did. Body Combat then dinner and dessert. It was lovely, but I couldn't give it my full attention as my OH just wouldn't shut up. He's worse than the kids at school.
