I had to buy my mum a boost since i sent her photo in. She's so embarrassed but secretly wants to show her friends!
Thanks Angie!
We should start a challenge fan club, but then i would end up with too many supporters and it wouldnt be fair

Morning Chick!
Was about to go out for a run but it has started chucking it down!! - I don't have waterproofs so that idea is out the window!! Ah well.. Maybe tomorrow!
Weeble
Sep 2 2009, 11:29 AM
Let the battle commence.
Good luck ladies!
What's the prize for winning?
pinkprincess
Sep 2 2009, 01:02 PM
Hey!!
I'm at work so just on for a quickie!!
Your skin is the most waterproof of all, you should go for a run in your swimming gear then just dry yourself off when you get in. lol.
I'm going to spin tonight. still hurt a bit from Monday but it's only a 45 min class so should be ok! Day 3 is going well so far although did wake up with a rumbly tumbly-never fun when I'm leaving the house at 7 for work and know I wont get brekkie tilo 10ish!!!
How you getting on?
P.S, weeble, the prize is the self satisfaction and getting to target-that's good enough for me and think gill may agree!

Thought the winner maybe got to suggest a forfeit!
Gill2005
Sep 2 2009, 03:54 PM
Ohhh a forfeit.................!! That could be interesting!!

Doing ok today.. So bored at home though - painter in and I cant go out! dont even have rachy for company!
I can feel 'holiday' mode creeping in... must resist must resist.
I know i cant lose huge amounts for going on holiday but knowing i have did my best in the run up to it will certainly help im sure!
Gym tomorrow i think...

Sep 2 2009, 07:57 PM
Dont go into holiday mode early Gill, holiday mode is allowed when you are on holiday but not before! You know this. When do you go away?
remember-when youre not in the country-its no check food!!! hehe. (if only!)
Did you manage to get out today? I worked 730 til 5 then did double spin class! the 6-645 class, cooldown then the 7-730 class!
I'm going to be hobbling tomorrow-oops.
Had fish pie for dinner and it had peas in it-I hate peas, serves me right for eating reayd made rubbish I suppose.

Morning Gill. How you doing?
Today is day 4 and going ok so far! Had my porridge sachet and EDB berries for my tea break. Don't think I'll go to gym tonight but going to cinema to see Funny People so taking my snack a jacks popcorn with me-yum!

Morning!!
Just back from the gym

.. There was a spin class on at the time but I just don't think I could do it! - It looks soooooo hard, the sweat is actually dripping from the folk on the bikes!!
Feeling quite good today, went out for tapas last night and everything seemed to be swimming in oil!... But OMG it was sooooo tasty!... The few glasses of wine were nice too.. Defo back on the straight and narrow today though!
Off out to soft play with rachy and my niece in an hour so gonna make some pasta to take with me.. otherwise the smell of the food at the place will get me!!

- Then driving lesson later tonight until 7.30pm!
Catch up later - Enjoy the cinema.. That film looks great!

xx
Gill2005
Sep 3 2009, 02:38 PM
Im so hungry. Going to have my pasta now.. was going to take kids for a walk as the rain was off.. by the time the wellies went on etc then rain was back on!!!
I cant wait to be lying by a pool drinking cocktails!!!!!!!!!
hows your day going???
pinkprincess
Sep 3 2009, 03:26 PM
Day is not too bad! Leaving work at 5, home for some bejewelled/farmville/dinner then cinema.
You up to much tonight? are you scared of the rain?! lol.
Xxxx
Gill2005
Sep 3 2009, 03:37 PM
I hate the rain with a passion. Trying to get a 3 yr old to remain even remotely dry isn't fun.
No real plans for tonight.. Driving lesson til 7.30, home for dinner then maybe a spot of bejeweled! - Got my niece over tonight but hopefully hubby will bath them and get them to bed while im on my lesson!

gym again tomorrow.... hopefully this ache in my calves will be away by then.!
pinkprincess
Sep 3 2009, 04:31 PM
Oooh, good luck for your lesson, how long you been learning for?
my farm is going mega slow so i suppose i should go make lunches and dinners soon-boring!!
Xxxx
Gill2005
Sep 3 2009, 07:38 PM
Been taking lessons for a long while... had to change instructors recently which was a complete pain in the rear end as it set me back a good bit because they do things differently, not to mention that I changed from a tiny diesel car to a much bigger petrol one! Ah well... I will get a test booked soon hopefully!!
Just waiting on my tattie cooking...
Gill2005
Sep 4 2009, 10:28 AM
Morning!!
Hows it going today? How was the cinema?!
Heading out to the gym soon.. Feel like I'm getting the cold so I'm gonna do an extra bit today in case I feel worse tomorrow!
pinkprincess
Sep 4 2009, 06:41 PM
Hey! how did you get on at gym? I really couldnt be bothered going but went since Craig was going and went to the 45spin class and feel much better for it!
Just making dinner and having nice quiet night in-been looking forward to it all week!
Xxx
Gill2005
Sep 4 2009, 06:43 PM
Run 5km and beat my time by 3mins!!!! Was so impressed (and f***ed after it!!

).
Nice quiet night in here too.. hubby on nights all weekend!
pinkprincess
Sep 4 2009, 07:41 PM
Well done you on the 5km!!!! How long does that take you? Do you run the whole time? I was really into running over the summer but gone off it a bit since there's not so many 5k's etc in winter.
You watching big brother final? I said ill watch anything but that so we're watching xtra factor-yay!
xxx
Gill2005
Sep 4 2009, 08:13 PM
I did it in 40mins

.... Not so great but the first time I did it about 6 weeks ago, it took me over 50mins!!! - I don't run the whole way, stop occasionally to stop myself passing out...!!!
I can see why it can become addictive!
pinkprincess
Sep 4 2009, 08:23 PM
oi,thats still really good, dont you be taking less credit than you deserve!
I see a running challenge on the cards between the 2 of us once we have both reached target. hehe.
hope you stretched after or youll feel it tomorrow xx
Gill2005
Sep 4 2009, 08:25 PM
I feel a bit achy just now.. Did a stretch afterward, did a bit of Power Plate too which usually helps!
How long does your 5lm take? x
pinkprincess
Sep 4 2009, 08:31 PM
I always like the look of power plates but havent really used them, do they work like stretching?
When I was really into my running in May/June my personal best (which I'm very proud of) was just under 30mins.
But it took a lot of training to get to there and I'd be lucky to do it in under an hour if I tried tomorrow!
My dad's really into running and always wants to take me out so he gives me hints and tips and always succeeds in getting me to push myself just that wee tiny bit more.

Thats an amazing running time - One day....!!
pinkprincess
Sep 4 2009, 08:47 PM
Well our combined loss of 23 pounds is our first goal, then we can focus on the running.
Much easier when theres less weight on the feet anyway! Keep at it, thats the best thing you can do, it gets easier with time, When I was running, if I didnt run for a week or 2 I ended up going back to the beginning every time i got back into it!!

Gill2005
Sep 4 2009, 09:02 PM
I'm defo gonna try and keep it up.. I feel great afterwards.. A sense of achievement almost!!
pinkprincess
Sep 4 2009, 09:05 PM
Yeah it does get a bit addictive, I'm a member of a kind of runnign website, i log my distances and times and means I can see how Im doing. It also has message boards which I dont write on but do have a wee look. There's often beginners chatting about getting started.

Good morning!
I had such a terrible sleep last night, kept wakening up and being away for ages before falling back asleep, hopefully I will catch up tonight!
Im sitting waiting on a Tesco shopping coming, very lazy I know but since I don't drive and hubby is on nightshift there ain't much I can do about it!
Enjoy your spin class.. One day I will try it! Dunno wht to have for brekkie, lf sausages and a wee egg maybe
pinkprincess
Sep 5 2009, 08:38 AM
Maybe i should come and take you to the david lloyd in glasgow-that is where you go isnt it? Bit further away than my edinburgh gym though. lol. We could so spin and then race 5km. Although it's be a race to see who could be the last lady standing!
Oh no, hope you manage a sneaky wee nap today, bet you can't wait til you can drive yourself to Tesco, hurry up and pass your test!
