yay! i have the memory of that and a cup of unsweetened herbal mint tea.

trade?

hehe

The only something I could relate too.

went on an exerxise bike today. Didn't like it very much, but I really really wanted to read while I worked out, soi thought I'd give it a try. Still, 7 miles in 30 minutes. Not so many calorie burned, though, because only the legs were working.

i pushed myself around in my chair for almost 12 hours today. went up and down the stairs at least 10 times, walked 100 yards to the car and back......stood around wondering why people would rather vote in primary elections than do their civil duty of economy stimulating by buying large imported automobiles.

i'm bushed.

I marshalled a swim meet too, this evening. My legs are tired.

I will have to swipe my new workout plan from the gym and relate it to y'all.
It seems to go on forever at the moment!

The good news is I am working on more parts of my body and my resting heartrate is down. I'm also below 14 stone, which is another important landmark. I've lost just under 4 stone in total - 53lbs. And the important thing is Lewis is going to do a fitness assessment for me every 3-4 weeks now, to put more focus on my cardio work, which is obviously where I burn fat.

The less good news - sorry, horrible grammar - is that I once again have apricot hair. I swear last night it looked mainly blonde under the electric lights. Somehow while I slept it has changed to a shade of peach. I can't keep it if I'm going to start looking for work I suppose, but I'm out in all my glory today, teaming it with a brown dress in size 18 (UK) - the first size 18 item of clothing I have worn in over a year! I can cheat slightly as it's made of stretchy material, but when I moved to London I couldn't even get it on over my bust.

I'll take a pic before I do anything else with my hair anyway - I'll have a whole album to upload by the time I get home access!

That is wonderful Sundae! It always feels good to put on clothes you're supposed to fit. 53 pounds is an amazing feat. It's nice to cross those threshholds but try to focus on how good your body feels. We always have stalls in weight loss but fitness will always feel good if we take the time to notice. My body is starting to react to my fencing nights. It feels good. I'm still sore today after fencing two tourneys over the weekend and following up with practice Monday night.

I'm sad because I have already hit the "must make an effort not to move as much" point. We're only talking about general carrying/chasing a toddler and going up and down the stairs 6-10 times a day, but my feet have started their nifty little swelling routine. Good thing the weather's warm again since I'm going to have to wear flip flops for the next two months. :(

Sorry Clod. Keep your eyes on the prize though. The sacrifice is worth it.

Personally, I figure if they're going to swell I want them to go all-out, you know? Freak-people-out-at-the-grocery-store kind of appearance. I'm at least hoping to have some good pictures for the Bruises thread soon...

That's the spirit!

"Way to go!!" to Sundae and Griff. And "haha' to Clod, goals are always good :)

I popped in here to post this swim cap I found for LJ...

and in seriousness, a silicone cap designed for those of us with long hair for jinx. Silicone is much better than latex, cuz it doesn't pull hair as much...

Cool, maybe Ill try one of them LR. I've ordered stuff from that place twice and have been happy (bought a waterproof mp3 player thats pretty cool...).

I didn't mean to kill the conversation. Here's a little something by way of apology:

A few years ago I was doing something almost like this, it is a great way to train both cardio-respiratory function and improve strength and joint health.
