Next time i see cake or sweets ill remember how im feeling now and that will keep me away :)I started kick boxing aswell and I was surprised I was able to do it!! Class was 1hr 15mins.

Ok so I want to see changes every week in either weight or inches! Im going to a kick boxing class tonight which lasts bout 80 mins. Tomorrow night ill be going home so wont be able to get any exercise done. Saturday or Sunday ill go to the gym and do weights because I cant motivate myself to do cardio! And ill stick to my diet plan which will be 18 points a day. So far this week I have used 16 points not including exercise into these points as I hope they will benefit in losing abit more!

Last night i did my total tone class which concentrates 20 mins on legs 20 mins on arms and 20 mins on tummy!

Foodwise: Brek still having porridge & actimel.

Lunch: Soup with rivita & mixed melon for snack.

Dinner last night i had butternut squash, broccoli, asparagus, carrots, egg white, prawns and tuna! Ill have the same tonight. After dinner i had 2 handfuls of blueberries and slendor pro after workout.

Ill repeat the same food today and go kick boxing as exercise.

Im going insane i cant lose weight. Exercise isnt working and neither is trying to eat right. Its the summer and my challenge hasnt worked. I do feel fitter and stronger though so its not all bad I was really hoping to see some changes though:( Ive 9 weeks till my holiday. I gotta try harder. Im going to cut out all sweets etc. I have to! And il'l go back to the gym again on saturdays and do weights. Last night i went for a walk for an hour and a half and tonight ill go kick boxing. Tomorrow night i have acupuncture to treat my poly cycstic ovaries which is a propably the main reason im finding it so hard to lose weight so hopefully i might get some relief with that.

Hayden*

On saturday i went to the gym and did weights and did them properly and today im feeling it but thats good!! went out sat nite and tried not to drink too much which ended up being 5 pints oops today ill go to my total tone class which will be 20mins arms 20mins legs and 20 mins stomach.

Dinner tonight will be chicken and lots n lots of veg and slender pro after workout.

Didn’t do any exercise last night as I was tired and needed a break but did a bitta house work instead! Kick boxing is on again tonight and ill go to the gym on Saturday. I have been eating a lot of salads for dinner and feeling better after them! Im drinking my two litres of water a day and cutting out sweets, choc etc as much as I can!

Hayden*

Back to start another wk again so on saturday i went to the gym and tried to increase what i was doing by 5kg and i finished the programme and I am not that sore after it so looks like its working I finished off the programme with 500 fast skips and sit ups. Felt really good sat eve after it all and then went and ate lots of choc biscuits yesterday oops i know but the rest of my day wasn't so bad i had porridge for brek chicken and veg for dinner and crackers for tea so hopefully i didnt do too much damage. I didnt drink either at the wknd

So back to this wks exercise ill go to the total tone class tonight kickboxing tomorrow night and i have a concert on wed.

Will go to the gym tommorw and do my weights programme.

Hayden*

I haven’t made an entry in here in ages but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t exercising!! I went to the gym on Sunday and did my weights I did 3 reps of each machine on the highest weight I could lift and did 4kg on the free weights ill slowly build this up and then I did 500 skips and sit ups and lower back raises to finish.

Im giving up kickboxing as its causing damage to my joints and giving me pain so instead on Monday I did pilates, Tues a body conditioning class and last night I took a break and tonight a head to toe class!! All the classes are about toning and last night I did 1000 skips also.

I weighed myself yesterday and still im the same!

Knee 15.10
Arm 10.15
Wrist 5.9

I also did a bit with my thigh toner and step machine at the weekend and ill keep that up this weekend too J

Thanks Linda

I joined a new gym this week and they have loads of new classes so its something to look forward to. She told me at the class last night that i wasnt spending enough time on stretching so thats something i have to sort out maybe thats why i have a sore hip and knee!! Il'l do min 10 mins a day from now on.

The weather is horrible out so its gonna be a perfect day for the gym tomorrow!!

Hayden*

I went to the gym on Sat and weighed myself 9.7 and ill take my mesaurements again dis eve after boot camp :eek: I dont know what the class is going to be like but hopefully a good one I did pilates on Monday night getting a bit stronger so i can hold myself a bit better!!
