Well I'm off to the gym in 10 mins for a spin class and then I'm going to try Pilates for the first time. I injured my right calf muscle and ligaments last year and still get a bit of discomfort when doing high impact work so fingers crossed a bit of stretching at Pilates regularly might help.
Happy Sunday everyone!

and there's me thinking we should resurrect the recipe thread
Yes we should resurrect it I think - for Ali's sake at least!

I didn't know there was a recipe thread. How exciting.
Btw I had Diet Coke chicken last week and it was surprisingly edible

For anyone following SW I have found this blog a tremendous help. They have over 300 SW recipes. Better than the cookbooks as they give an honest appraisal of what it tastes like too.
Warning: they can be near the mark!

I hate the spinning bike! The virtual instructor on the bike gives out orders, my little fat hairy legs are going like the clappers and I'm sweating like a glass blowers backside! Meanwhile the blonde toned git doesn't even break a sweat!

Virtual instructor ! What is the world coming to !

I'm exactly the same even down to the little fat hairy legs! I look as if I've been in the shower when I come out of the class - sweaty Betty! Prefer an instructor to the virtual version though
My gym is open 24/7 so they run virtual spin a lot of the time for the folk that go later at night/early morning (certainly not me so far!)Pilates was a good calming way to stretch out your muscles and I think I'll dip in and out of it depending on whether I feel the need to get up and go to the gym on a Sunday - so certainly not every week.

I'm aiming towards 2 stones loss by Xmas.

Got my 2 stone loss award certificate at Slimming World last Thursday
Really pleased, it's taken me since beginning of June and I've set another target of 1 more stone and will review then see how I feel and look then.
Eventually I need to rejoin a gym I guess but not driving the nearest is 3 miles away or 2 trains and I have to get back after work to help out at home. I'll see how things go. If I say I need to lose another 2-3 stone it sounds to much so going for a stone at a time!

gain!

Trainers too small!

They should be too big, usually a size bigger, because when you run any kind of distance your feet increase in size

They were well worn in over 12 months, running decent distances.
Need to get mine well worn in, quickly! Hoping to join a running club if I can fit work around it.
Very bruised and a bit sore today as this (finally!) happened yesterday

This will be me on Wednesday ...
Just had to share this with you guys.
Despite a really difficult couple of diet weeks which have involved numerous 3 course dinners, lunch at the fabulous Annie's Burger Shack and at the amazing TNQ in Manchester I have finally managed to lose 12lbs. Not sure at this pace that I will make my target of losing 2 stones by Christmas but I'm plodding on anyway.

I had a 7lb gain this week, my heart isn't in it at the moment, I need another goal to gee me up, my Chri - December seasonal goal is to be under 17 stone, I'll be lucky if it happens!
