General Chit Chat!

fine thanks, off to gym shortly; day off for me, so gym and swim it is!
this forums' looking great!

i went for a run last night after work, on the gym treadmill; i was feeling really tired to begin with but by the end i felt great; running does give me more energy:)

I just motivate myself ater work - I'm always shattered. I do do quite a lot of walking at work though.

ooh well done kate! You are going to inspire me to get out exercising. My mum wants to do some home cooking in a min (we're attempting to make vegetarian burgers from dried soya mince and other stuff) then im going to go out for a long walk!

How do you deal with stitches when exercising? cos whenever i attempt jogging after 2 mins i get a stitch and it cains

hope everyone else is doing ok!

I did my hour on the treadmill while watching a CSI. Now I'm drinking some green tea and contemplating getting outside and doing some work in the garden. I hate gardening... but I am trying to look at it as another form of exercise. I need to get moving more!

I'm going for a walk around the warehouse as opposed to through it - it's only a little change but every little helps !!

At the moment I am using home improvements as my exercise.

Thats why Im sitting here on the internet drinking a brew rather than putting things in boxes.

*slaps self into action*

When I was in Sainsburys today, I noticed they had a sale on some of the clothing. So I bought myself a pair of motivational weightloss jeans, they were only £4.00 so don't mind if they hang around in the cupboard for a while. There a size 16 and im currently in 22, so i've got some work to do!!!

But you will do it.

I had a pair of leather tousers from years ago that I was using as my motivational trousers - I tried them on the other week and they were too big!

Thanks Stella. You've done so well, only hope I can match your success!!!

Good for you! Small changes like that do make a difference.

I've just bought a house with my fiance, and am finding I just don't sit down anymore! There is always something to do... washing/cooking/cleaning etc etc etc the list just goes on. I was home for well over an hour last night before I even got to sit on the couch.

Hopefully it'll be doing some good and I guess it kinda counts towards "exercise"...

I didn't realise this warehouse was so huge

hope you are not lost in that warehouse Stella.

Starbuck i have a top for about 6 months time and my next target is a pair of stripey jeans - which can now be buttoned up but look bloody awful at the moment and that is what I have in mind when I am pushing myself at the gym.

Miss Minx - yes the decorating is such a great calorie burner - it's not only the decorating it's the upheaval and knock on effect. My next job is the upstairs hall - but there are 5 doors needing painted - so will have to wait until after I get my college work out the way. The next room after that is one of my lads room - but that needs loads of work - the coving has to come down and the ceiling needs painted and loads of wallpaper to strip off before I even make a start on the new wallpaper and paint.

Stripeymouse - I know with housework I often feel like i have done a workout so sounds good to me lol.

i've done my bit for today at the gym but i've still got to take the dog out, back soon

Was watching Tv with my kids this morning and we saw a really funny episode of pink panther when he was on a diet. found it here on you tube if anyone fancies a giggle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXHtURE-oC0

I didn't get lost in the warehouse

As I've posted in another thread I'm feeling very delicate today due to exercise last night which I'm not used too.

I bought a whole new wardrobe while I was in the US last fall. The exchange rate was still pretty good back then and I got a lot of stuff on sale (they do proper sales over there, like 75% off). Everything I got ended up being dirt cheap but good quality. I bought things in all different sizes. I've worked my way into some of them... but I still have a lot more weight to lose to fit into some of the others. It'd kind of fun knowing I have some new clothes to wear as soon as I lose the weight. I have some cute summer tops that I am hoping to be able to wear this summer. We'll see!

thanks for that starbuck! excellent video!

Glad you liked it Kate, I thought it was very apt for this forum.

very, i think we can all identify with bits of that in one way or another at some point in our lives!
he used to be on tv on a saturday tea time when i was a kid about 5 30 ish, i remember it because we used to watch it before we had tea!

Well thats me handed in my essay at college today, so happy to get one more out the way. I feel like I am on the home strait now and then i have 3 months before starting uni so am going to really amp up the healthy eating plan. I made a bit of a breakthrough today in that I realised that it's not the be all and end all if I don't lose a ton of weight before uni - so I actually feel as if the pressure is off a bit and think of it just as another job, just something that is part of my day if that makes sense?
