I miss the fitness threads and the fitness Doms!

Ever feel restless but in no mood to get out?

I got a weird headache, and feel tiered, but want to get some blood moving.

Blaa!!

Hi YC, this is the fitness thread! Take water if you're thirsty but get the fuck off lit and go

Easy mode: 10x5 crunches 10x5 pushups 20x5 squats.

Medium Mode: repeat x2

Go outside-mode: Go for a run after your first set and repeat when you're back


This is your motivation

The motivation for being fitter is breasts!

Hey thanks, at this point it's midnight here, and I'm snug in bed.

Tomorrow, I hope my head will feel better, it's probably the weather.

Here's one that builds up over and over, keeps you going http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UTbLzK_8Dc

OMG, if someone tried to get me up that early I'd be in self defense mode. You are mad.

Today the months of dieting and hard work paid off. I CRUSHED my mates on a long climb today. Attacked with a kilometer to go and at the top I had a 40 second gap. Thing of beauty.

Intuitive eating ROCKS.

I've been away from the gym for a while cos of a holiday and a stinking head-and-chest-cold, but nevertheless my jeans have got looser, just via me eating whatever the hell I want, whenever I'm hungry.

Side-benefit: my skin is clearer than it has been in decades.

Side-benefit no. 2: I'm sleeping better than I have in years.

Side-benefit no.3: intuitive eating forces you to examine your emotions rather than eating to squash them down. And it's not nearly as scary as I thought it'd be and it's sorting out some old festery stuff for me.

I feel strong and healthy! Menatally! And I'm sure I'll be able to say the same for myself physically as soon as I stop coughing my guts up!

I you, Geneen Roth.

I am so proud of you kicking ass! Especially because it sounds like mechanical issues were abundant. If I haven't told you lately, you ROCK.

Thanks! I was pretty pleased with myself.

And btw, you rock too

Went for a 40 min run today. Head still hurts, but feel more energy.

 

[Homburg]

Back problem has flared up again. And, as before, it is just something that I woke up with. No warning, no indicator. Just woke up with my back all jacked up.

Yeah, lovin this.

Have you tried running on your feet? It might reduce some of that head pain.

Thank you for this laugh. I needed one tonight!

I didn't get it for like 5 seconds.

Ran again on a track on a local farm this evening. It was pretty dark in the forest so I ran better like I was chasing something. Had to stop a few times but I did run fast for 30minutes. Go me.

My chest-cold is on its way out at last. Looking forward to getting back to the gym. It's been so long since I was at the gym REGULARLY (before Xmas) that I know I've lost a lot of cardio fitness. Also over the winter I gained some weight as I went through the traumatic psycho therapy and getting to grips with intuitive eating.

So anyhoo, I thought I'd get my money's worth out of the NHS and go for a health check before going back to the gym, just to make sure my old heart can stand it.

Bloods will be back on Friday (the nice nurse ticked almost every box on the bloods form - I'm being tested for EVERYTHING except transmissible diseases lol) but in the meantime -

- my blood pressure is 113/79, which she tells me is wonderfully low (it's all Greek to me - I have a mental block about BP - have never understood the readings)

- she weighed me.

I half wanted to ask her not to weigh me, as I've stopped weighing myself as part of the intuitive eating mindset... but of course I had a rough idea of what I weigh based on experience of different weights in the past and what size clothes I'm wearing etc......................

..................or I thought I had a rough idea - the scales this morning told me that I am in fact a full 20 pounds lighter than I thought I was. That's some BAD guesstimating on my part lol.

Anyway, I'll get the blood results on Friday. I have never before in my life had my cholesterol checked, so that one in particular will be interesting.

Edited to add - oh ok - I've just found a blood pressure chart that I actually find comprehensible, and I see I'm simply within the normal range, not low at all (Maybe she thought it was wonderfully low for a fatty like me )

In a lot of ways I think this is the best kind of running. You're varying your pace to suit the terrain, you aren't running in circles or around a familiar neighborhood, your feet aren't constantly pounding down on asphalt or concrete, and the mental stimuli are different than when you run in a familiar place.

Does she take it regularly? It might be wonderfully low for you.

I've had to learn a bit about blood pressure, and how to take it too, because of Sir We are supposed to do it just before He goes on dialysis and when He comes off (but I am a bit slack sometimes ) 113/79 is pretty damn good!

Last week I had mine checked when I went for a new prescription for my HRT. 123/72 boy was I surprised considering the amount of stress I've been under lately!

Haven't made it to the gym for a few days because we've been busy packing up and moving stuff so we can get new carpet. However I've been up and down stairs that many times and carried so many heavy boxes that I don't think it's going to matter somehow....

 

[ImOnIt]

Not at all hungry. Damn you stomach, accept this delicious steak and associated vegetables.

In the dark in the forest? Sure you weren't running like you were being chased by something?

 

[Cattypuss]

Bloods back. All totally fine except -

Cholesterol 5.92 - over the ideal top level of 5, but no cause for concern apparently (and I don't know what the HDL/LDL breakdown is - might be fine).

White blood cell count too low and I'm going in next Monday for a consultation about that. Hope it's nothing awful.

Meantime on the positive side, I got a full bloodwork thingy and all sorts of other things came back normal lol.

So, none of the things that you worry about when you're fat, like high blood pressure and sky-high cholesterol and diabetes.

 

[ultramarineblue]

I walked today.

 

[FloggingMolly]

First week back on slimming world, -1lb. I hoped for more, but am trying to be zen-like and positive.

Good on ya. It's a journey, not a destination. Just keep at it.
