What a lunch!!!

Yum yum!

 

[MrsLmc]

My god your lunch looks yummy!

I'm grand, had a loss this week even though I'm trying to maintain, so back to the drawing board lol. I'd love to try the power plate, might give it a go in the future. I've a bad back though and I thought it might not be great for it, but we'll see. Good luck with starting the c25k, you could probably skip the first few weeks because you already jog a little don't you ?

Well Done on the loss!!!

I have a really really bad back after an accident 2 years ago, the Flabelos Power Plate is good for lower back pain and eases things for me quite a lot

I can run/jog for between 10 and 15 minutes at 8.0 on a treadmill so should I start from the beginning or not?

My Lunch is scrummy

I'd probably skip week one or two, have a go at week 2 day 1, if its too easy for you skip till the next week x

 

[Trefoil]

Yes I will give that a go thank you so much

Just doing a shop at Sainsburys online- means I dont have to pick if I do it this way!!!!

Its so hard trying to drink 2 Litres of water when I dont like water too oh dear lol!

[MrsLmc]

I don't like plain water, so I drink sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon juice x

 

[Trefoil]

OOOO thanks for that will try it!! Just trying to get off the Diet Coke!!!

Going to nip to Sainsburys tomorrow instead I think as their site isnt working properly! Will get some fizzy water- I used to drink that by the bucketload I cant believe I didnt think of it!!!

If you can run that long you can probably skip ahead to week 4 or 5 I'd say as you'll find the start very simple otherwise? Lunch looks amazing... I had a bagel too. I can't find those WW brownie ice creams anywhere anymore, ireland sucks!! X

[Trefoil]

Right ive just had a look and im gonna go straight in at week 4 because its similar to what I was doing feel a bit guilty for skipping the weeks tho!!!

[starkissedx]

Dont feel guilty, i think couch to 5k the first few weeks are designed for running novices, but if you already can do abit of running no point in wasting time doing the weeks that you already easily can do x

Yeah I suppose so!!! How are you doing??

Im a bit frightened that as im going to be gaining muscle im going to put weight on and I really cant afford to do it- will lose inches tho?!

[starkissedx]

Im okay, really cant wait for my dinner though ha super hungry! Trying to wait till 6 so it fills me up as much as possible till as late as possible...then have 3PP for a snack around 9

I really want to start exercising, i had intentions of joining a gym this jan but then lost my job there at the start of jan So i cant commit to a monthly payment till i find a new part time job! I have loads of dvds like some pump it up ones, and the 30 day shred but i cant get motivated to do them And like you said i have saw loads of girls on here and in meeting who have started exercising and have ended up having little losses or even gains due to exercise

But i guess the way we have to see it is that this is a lifestyle change and at the end of the day if we get into the way of exercising now and include it as part of our daily lifestyle the weight although might come off slower at the start will stay off longer.

Although i still have 12.5lbs to lose i am worried about maintaining, as i know if i have even a few days off plan i end up gaining! Gained 5lbs over xmas period off plan, so i want to start exercising so i can give myself another way of maintaining my weight rather than fully relying on my diet alone.

I mean id rather have a nice meal out, or a takeaway treat once a week and work out for an hour or so and burn it off rather than feel like i cant have treats, which is what i live like these days

Stars right, first few weeks are for people like me who've never ran before at all. I'd say you can skip on guilt free hon xx
I'm alright thanks, had a meltdown today but feeling bit better now. Phew! Curry for dinner today mmm. My weigh in is tomorrow, I need ALL your good luck thoughts lol!! X

Well I drank my 2 litres of water but my dinner was disgusting and my OH went to McDonald's after I finished so I got something too! Didn't do too bad! I know why I'm craving bad food though- TOTM has appeared I really need to stop it taking over my cravings!!!!

Also I didn't finish work until after 1030 so nearly 2 hours late so I didn't do C25K what is wrong with me grrr!!! I may have a go at it outside tomorrow!!!

Still got 25 weeklies left which is fine but I need to reel myself in- this is what happens when I don't have a back up plan! 2 disasters at work have ended up with me eating rubbish!!!



On another note- I have applied for another job! I'm so frightened of applying for jobs as I feel like I'm letting my boss down and almost like I can't leave! Im treated really badly though I don't think I'll get it but it's all experience!!!
