The Dogmother Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Thanks, I need all the help i can get at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I call it spring pains, I seem to do far more dog walking as it is light at night, DIY and gardening this time of year and suffer for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Very interesting I might order some of that. I've got problems with my knees and finger joints especially at the moment. I have to admit that I stopped taking the cod liver oil/glucosamine a little while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 I find they help but am my own worst enemy... I take them when I have pain/aches then stop when it doesn't hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Me too. Its silly though as I take Menopace and EPO each night so could quite easily just take them then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 (edited) Collagen is another one but it seems a little expensive. Warm Epsom salt bath are very good for aching muscle and the magnesium will soak through your skin give your body a good boost of the stuff whilst detoxing; I find this is best done at night as you will go very drowsy. Heat is very bad if it is a new muscle injury so the good old RICE is the best. You wouldn't know it but i have Fibromyalgia from a bout of Lock-jaw when i was 23 and have become a bit of an expert in natural pain relief (i refused to be treated with loads of drugs that could cause more damage). I have managed it well and you wouldn't know unless you saw me on a bad day. Edited April 24, 2012 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yes, i do all that although I have to admit to speedy showers rather than a lovely long bath. They are just old, nagging injuries; the cartiledge in both knees is pretty knackered now after a lifetime of doing lots of sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Work trousers are still tight after the grand pig-out on holiday still, at the gym tonight for 40 mins before I collect Rosie, so will go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I did a hour in the gym last night, Heart wasn't in it (wanted my pj's and bed) but that's 500cals burnt. I have this horrod feeling i'm coming down with a cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikiranf Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Thank you all Seagazer, well done on losing another 1lb it's got to be something to do with all that kayaking you do! The Dogmother, life is for living and it sounds like you had a great holiday and your tight trousers are probably due to fluid which will be gone in no time Lilybettybabs, Well done for still going to the gym, I hope you fight off whatever is trying to get a hold of you and feel fab soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've kind of carried on eating quite healthy but not actively really good for the last few weeks. Tbh its much easier to do at Uni 'cos I buy all my food whereas at home theres always stuff calling me from the fridge or cupboards My own fault for not doing exercise too, can't think of anything worse than an out of breath sweaty Lewis, in public Still, not really lost weight in the last month but guess its better than putting it back on! Think am 2 stone 4 down from the start of Jan, haven't seen my theatre boss for a few weeks and she noticed this weekend... just want it to be more!

Reikiranf Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Thank you ANH We're in Bournemouth with friends this weekend and will have to do some serious walking as I feel like I put on half a stone at the Chinese buffet tonight Lewis that's a great achievement, well done I think that the slower it comes off the more likely it is to stay off. You don't have to exercise in public, I do dvd workouts in my conservatory, with the blinds down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Starting to see positive results. Clothes are getting looser & yesterday I had to ride pillion on a sports bike. When I looked at it I thought there was no way I could clamber on it but there were some bikers looking, I went for it and it was easy. The exercise has loosened up my joints more than I realised. Definitely keeping it up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 This week I started a 4 week challenge at the gym - I thought it would be a good kick start and the winner over the 4 weeks gets their money back! So on Monday I had all the scary measurements, weight, BMI and % fat analysis and the briefing. It includes 3 personal trainer sessions each week for the 4 weeks, but the written programme is 5 * 1 hour gym sessions a week, plus a diet programme. Hopefully it will give me a bit of motivation to do more and more regularly. Tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reikiranf Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Well done for comitting to that Taj That'll keep you on the straight and narrow, Good luck I've been alternating between Zumba & Leslie Sansone dvd workouts & but seem to keep gaining and losing the same pesky 1lb at the moment I suppose after my long weekend in Bournemouth I should consider myself lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
