Yeay!! Can't wait for you to try and give feedback on how hard it is! I must admit Jillian. Michael's doesn't do it for me and hence I have not done any of her DVDs for a while. Inanity appeals to me but I'm scared it would be too hard.

well all the best for the new year and have fun however to celebrate at home or out with friend/family!

 

[carrieclaus]

Cheers ladies. Xxx

 

[carrieclaus]

Fast day today will start insanity on Monday as the workout guide starts on a Monday to give every 7th day a rest day ( Sundays ) there's 10dvds in it and I can't wait to get started! Will continue with tae bo today, Friday, sat and Sunday. Xxx

 

[Kira]

Hope fast day is an easy one! You seem very organised with a good routine planned ahead so you do very well on insanity I'm sure. Have a great day.

 

[carrieclaus]

Feeling very delicate today so hoping it goes easy on me... My first weigh in on sat since 12/12/13 at 9st 0.5lbs... I'm soooo scared it'll keep me on the straight and narrow though xxx

 

[carrieclaus]

Today's 89kcal breakfast yummeeee xxx

 

[Kira]

Drink lots of water through the day and keep busy to distract you from feeling and thinking food! Also get an early night and fast day will be done! If you have a gain on Saturday remember it's been the festive season and any gain will be temporary and once into your routine you'll be fine.

 

[carrieclaus]

Been taking trees down today gutted... Only 357 days till Xmas again lol. Plan... Clean kitchen, and youngests bedroom, Hoover, iron and paint nails. All things that'll keep me busy and a clean day closer to weigh in. I was well under target before Xmas ( 9st 0.5lbs ) and as long as I'm between 9.3 and 9.7 ill be over the moon. xxx

 

[carrieclaus]

Lunch 122kcals xxx

 

[Kira]

You are doing great! Certainly inspired me to stay on the straight and narrow! Being busy really makes a difference!

You are only human lol - I've not started back on plan yet - as sisters birthday yesterday . So had blow out - !
Opps

Carrie the good thing about the 5:2 is you can fast on another day. You may find you only need to do 6:1 to maintain. Don't beat yourself up about it, it is a very hard time of year to re-start any kind of normal eating. Calorie for a non fast normal day you've probably had an ok amount of calories.

Have be a great positive day!

 

[carrieclaus]

I know, fast today and tomorrow. Quicker I know damage the better... Xxx
