nutter nikki's - the push for Xmas

[Jelliebabe]

10k?!!! I can't run one k yet! LOL. How are you treating your feet? Anti inflammatorys and stretching? I had PF years ago and that's all I was advised... it did pass though. I still make sure to stretch my feet out though!

Trying to stretch them out. Rubbing volte roll gel into them and strapping up. Seeing a very good podiatrist in nov, mid nov! Otherwise I'm just getting with it and living in pain and I've started running again as I'm sick of not being able to - so stuff you feet! Lol

Back from the gym. 35 mins running! 10 mins on the bike. 10 mins on the cross trainer. 5 mins on some strange contraption where you put your feet into pedals then go side to side lifting you knees as you go. 10 min cool down on treadmill followed by some odds and ends on the power plate. Pressups, planks! Tricep dips, squats, crunches and leg stretches on hamstrings. Nice. I was there 90 mins. I bet the above doesn't add up to that I must just wander round the gym half the time like a headless chicken!

P.S I would estimate a cal burn of 550 cals. 2 litres of water consumed. Rush to the loo when home which was always used to happen to me on as when I went to the gym.... down to the water consumption!

Wow! Fab fitness! Go you. I hope your feet don't bother you too much with all that fitness.

They're not too bad once I'm up and about it's when I get up during the night or in the morning that is painful. Even after sitting in my butt for any length of time. I'll be ok, just push through it and run on gel!

Diet wise. I know there's things I now can no longer not do without. I need bars otherwise I just go and buy Atkins bars. I need milk on occasion but. An drink black coffee most times. I feel the need for chicken or quorn and am finding this part hard to drop. I really like having a drink at the weekend. I'm limiting my wine but I am still indulging. I'm hoping that by gyming it again I am able to do a little bit of the things I like with limited damage. I know it's not the right way but I think it's the only way forward at the minute. I'm not giving up I'm still fighting.

You're not alone in thinking like this. I'm doing something similar. I'm finding it nigh on impossible to drink plain water and I hate black tea and there's only so much black coffee a girl can drink. So I'm SS-ing with a few tweaks - I'm having skimmed milk in my tea, sugar free squash is on my menu, as are all diet drinks - the risk of having them is that I might get hungry, it's not really about whether I'm in or out of ketosis.

So if you need a bit of chicken or quorn, have it. If you need a few sips of wine, have them. You know this isn't advice I'd give to anyone new to Cambridge, but we've played around for so long with this diet we've got a pretty good idea of how far we can push things.

Of course, some might say that's why we keep screwing up... But I'm fairly sure it's because we over-punish ourselves for not being perfect. Here's to cutting ourselves a tiny bit of slack!

Back from the gym. Did 3 miles running, 10 mins on bike and some power plate stuff. Teaching z tonight so can't go bonkers like Sunday.

Came home felt sick so ate a bar (cd) then hoovered and mopped downstairs. We have a visitor this pm. Dudes speech therapist (jan). Can't let her see the mess. Lol.

Off to pick up little guy in 30 mins then off to hairdressers to tame this overgrown mop. Then jan will be here. Pick up ems. Do tea. Bog off to Zumba. Come home collapse. Go to bed.

Sounds like a busy day! I hope it went to plan.

Quite but I've had cancellations from Zumba on a Tuesday so I'm going to drop it and concentrate just on Thursday. I've lost my Zumba zing at the min. Think it's a combo of having a bad year and putting on too much weight. I feel like I'd rather attend than take a class but if I stop completely I'll loose my ladies and will not be able to start up again.

So tired. Been taking 2 tablets mel but still tired. Still waking. Was up at 5am this morning. Dude came into our room at 5.15, I got up at 5.30. It's 9.30pm and I could have dropped off about 8.30 but hubby had other ideas.

We r having problems getting Matthew to stay in bed. He will settle if I go up and he cuddles into me in our bed but he's not settling right in his own room. Hubby tried the supernanny rapid return but Matthew was getting more and more wound up. I hate this as it stresses me out no end. I know it's the soft route but I'd rather snuggle til he fell asleep the. Put him in his own room.

Well had a lazy day yesterday. Made a couple of Xmas cakes, only another 3-4 to go. Diet was a bit pants so starting again now. Didn't eat carbs but had some nuts.

Think it was scales are going up and not down so I got miffed off.

Ss from today. No food as I just can't be doing with 810 now. I'm not loosing and am not being fully focused either.

We are off to inlaws this weekend so that means out comes the wine but I'm going to have to say no. Hubby wants to go Friday night but I'd rather limit it to just sat night struggles.

I've got a letter asking me to go for a job interview. Whoop whoop!!!!

 

[Surfhunny]

Ooh good luck with your interview!!! I think cold turkey with SS is the only way for me, the slightest bit of food is temptation which makes it all so hard. I've had two days of SS+ and I'm going back to SS tomorrow. I can't even just have a little bit of food because it sets me off looking for other things to eat, then I can't stop thinking about it!! I'm a true addict

My intake has been rubbish. Was doing well today until the demon on my shoulder said lets have some wine and nuts got to focus tomorrow and all the days after.

Hi Nikki,

I'm back from Florida and am facing half-term, then a serious effort to shift shift this weight. I haven't weighed in awhile, but judging by my clothing -- I'll probably close to my 2012 top weight.

I've got a letter asking me to go for a job interview. Whoop whoop!!!!

Congrats!!! Good luck.
