Oh dear, its easily done! I cant have one biscuit, it has to be the whole packet! I have recently taken up running to try and keep the couple of stone i lost last summer off! Its so hard but at least if i do some good exercise i can have the odd treat(or ten!).

Ummm, I saw that cake Karen... it was CHOCOLATE how could you have any left with two growing boys in the house?

 

Just got back from circuits (didn't see Karen there ) took it a bit easy after my funny turn on Saturday night, also managed to trip down the stairs at work today and have a sore foot The good news is that I feel slimmer around the middle.

Welll i started to watch the documentary on the health of our dogs through breeding (i can't remember the

actual title) i was getting so engrossed and cross that it started to get too late to go to the gym.

4mile walk and gym tonight planned.

[Margaret]

Have lost a stone in one weeh no gym....

Rushed into hospital with a twisted and blocked bowel

 

Drastic I know, but now back at home resting for 2 weeks, and just stuffed a box of chocolates, so need more will power not to eat. Problem is I am bored and not very mobile.

 

OH just bought I Pad so playing on that. Great for catching up on Forum.

[The Dogmother]

Goodness sorry to hear that; I hope you're on the road to recovery.

[Margaret]

Oh thanks,

Feeling ok, still lots of tummy pain, but so much better.

Want to do so much outside, but can't even get any clothes around tummy, stitches out tomorrow, so that should help. Hardest thing is not being able to pick up my 8 month old grandson, but it's only for a few weeks.

Think I need patience to visit.

[Purplemaniacs]

Gosh sorry to hear that. Glad you are on the mend now. Take care.

Two hours in the gym tonight , It was busy and i had a smelly man on the cross trainer next to me

[The Dogmother]

Well done - 4 hours is brilliant - is that the one who farts for England?

 

I'll be there tonight while Rosie is on training; should get about 40 minutes in before she's finished.

[Chucky Mama]

Get well soon Margaret. Great weight loss but I don't think the 'Twisted Bowel Diet' is for me.

 

I fell off the wagon for a couple of weeks but am back on track now. My healthy diet is being helped by my joining DD's lent diet which excludes cakes, biscuits, chips, crisps, sweet and basically all the naughty things that I snack on I actually salivated at the thought of some Maynards Sports Mix that I had stashed in the car. I didn't succumb though

[Seagazer]

Get well soon Margaret - don't think I want to try that diet either.

 

Going to get back on track with the diet and exercising, put on a couple of pounds but not going to worry about it.

[lillybettybabs]

is that the one who farts for England?

 

He was short with ginger hair, He smelt as if he hadn't had a bath for a while , I was heaving

and had to wrap my towel around my nose.

 

OH is away this week so i am on spaniel duties- two lots of 4mile walks today i'll wear my little

legs away.

[The Dogmother]

your legs will soon be as short as mine and you won't be able to get over your side fence either!

[patsylabrador]

I exercise in the back room with the patio door open. This morning a little cat I didn't recognise sidled up to the door and sat and watched me for a while. I think he'd been on his way home and got distracted because he nodded off just sitting there. Then he woke suddenly, stretched and walked off.

I found it quite a distraction

myself, it was quite nice.

One more session to do tomorrow then that's 4 hrs again this week.

[Seagazer]

I went to kayaking last night and did a bit of practising going upside down , have walked Cookie and just joined the local swimming pool. I only managed 8 lengths as I managed to get cramp in my thigh. Quite pleased with myself though.

[lillybettybabs]

o i hate the upside down thing , do you still have to knock three times on the canoe before

you come back round. I had to do it in a canal

[Chucky Mama]

Dog walk plus 3 hour bike ride in the sunshine (pub lunch in the middle - it was a healthy(ish) one though).

[Lavenders_Blue]

3 x dog walks today (we do an extra lunchtime walk if I have to go out for the afternoon else I come home to a dog bouncing off the walls ) and I'm off out to Zumba shortly. With any luck I will sleep well tonight!

[lillybettybabs]

Dogs make good fitness instructors don't they

I've be pruning and gardening today in the sunshine, Shoulder is hurting now so i shall get the yoga

dvd out tonight instead of gym.

Pilates tomorrow lunch time.

That's the one! I've been really scared and thought I'd stop for a while after passing my 1* as you have to do a eskimo rescue i think for the 2* ie turn upside down, knock 3 times, then pull yourself up on your rescuers boat. My hubby and son did it on the river in Yalding and did their 1 and 2 at the same time. Yuk! I don't fancy that but will do it when the time comes. I've had members of the club help me with my fear of being trapped and upside down and its going fairly well. Just have to find a boat that fits properly so I can 'hip flick' it properly. I keep picking boats that are big in the cockpit area as I know I can exit quickly and easily. I get very disorientated when I'm upside down and often forget what I'm supposed to be doing

[lillybettybabs]

Well done

I remember it all to well!

[The Dogmother]

My ex, who was a white water instructor, used to try to get me to do it - that was a step too far on my book.

[Seagazer]

The main aim is not to have to roll/exit by using support strokes instead (so they say) but you really do need to know how to do it I suppose, but its definitely not my favourite thing in the world. I've even had nightmares about being trapped upside down. I try to think of it as exercise in a way and learning something new so keeping the old brain working.

 

I'm not planning on doing too much white water kayaking nice gentle rivers would be more my thing.

[lillybettybabs]

Do you still have to do the raft exercise?

where you all raft up then you take it in turns to get out you boat and walk or crawl along the back

of the others then back to your boat. Not bad if you are doing it in nice water, pretty horrid if it's canal

water.
