Sorry to hear you're having a bad time of it

Good luck, Yogi! Sometimes it's good to step back and re-evaluate.

Good Morning all healthy eaters and exercisers

Hope you are all getting there

I did my work out yesterday and am now going to step it up by, on the days I don't work out I will be going for a walk. Easy you say with a 1:4 hill outside to climb to start off with Hopefully this walk will turn out to be a daily run

Good Luck to all of you with keeping with it or adjusting it to suit your lifestyle

Extremely Fluffy Fluffy Thing

I was being optimistic


Suzie
Dont go mad with the walking at first build it up slowly ...then power walking then light jog a lil bit and then brisk walk ...

*sets up Massage table for you an gets my essential oils out *

Mike: *I* apparently need a massage. I was OK after my 45-mile bike ride on Sunday, but yesterday morning I woke up with what I'll call a "hitch in my git-along": maybe top of the hip, lower back, left side. (I have NO clue what hurts--I just know where it hurts )
So, this morning, I went for my usual run, anyway, thinking it would work itself out, and I think it's worse.

I guess I'll take a couple of days off and hope it gets better by the end of the week. And, I suppose I should eat accordingly.

Sounds like it could be your Sciatic nerve Lori.
Could be wrong though...I've never hurt that before.
If it is though a physio will sort it out with a massage. (Or mike)
Don't forget to ask for extra's too.

Lori...

You Poor thing ...
I think you *need* to see your Doc ...

I had same thing the other week,
I was drunk, (naturally..lol)
I fell on my knees from a good height *OUCH*!!!!!
My GP/Doc told me I had a trapped nerve in my left knee ,
that was sending shooting pains up my left side an up my back ...
he recommended this movelat cream
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100001758.html
It helped greatly ...

its getting ok now ...just get a twinge when I been sat for awhile ...

Btw
WOW !!!!!!!!!!
45-mile ...
I couldnt do that in car without a stretch of my legs ..
That is Absolutely Amazing very Well Done !!!
You must be very Fit ..?

*Gets a new Massage table set up for Lori *
Will Lavender oil and relaxing music be ok ..?

Kev
asking for extras ..lol
You rotten scoundrel ...
I was too much of a *Perfect Gentleman* to mention that to a lady like Lori ...

OK, you two are cracking me up.

Lavender oil sounds very soothing, as does the music. Sign me up.

I'm apparently not as fit as I should be, Mike, since I've managed to hurt myself.

I used to do lots of long bike rides, but now my principle form of exercise is running, and it doesn't seem to keep the weight off the way it used to--aging is a terrible thing, isn't it? So, I didn't train for this as well as I should have....

Lol @ Lori

I have known young Kevin along time ...

Lets just say ...
He is the type of Wigan Guy .....
Erm ....
How can I paraphase this nicely ...
Oh I can't ...LOL
If you want a stolen car or house burglared call a Wigan Guy ...lol...lol

On the other hand if you have seen "Pride and Prejudice" (1995)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112130/
Im more your Mr. Darcy man ..lol
tis like chalk and cheese ...

anyway back to the matter in my hands ..lol

Im really Pleased you like the set up in my massage treatment room ..

Joking aside ...!


with all that running ...
Im very surprised you are not a very fit toned Atheltic woman ...!! ?

many million years ago,
I used to run on the beach an I used to go from Bispham to Rossall twice a week which is 6 miles ..
the wet sand would do me,
but it helped the lower leg muscles ...
It kept me toned and hunky then ....

But alas as you say I think we get the weight now older ,
and its sooooooo hard to shift ...

You're lucky I like you mike.

Kev
Its a bit of fun you know that ..pie muncher ..


I would fall on my sword...
Or run in front of that angry police alsation /sniper red dot,bullet ....

cos You mean a lot to me matey ...

an all those above...lol

you would prob get with a night out with Me ..lol

Now Lori ran off without paying for her massage ..lol and there were No complaints


Hey ho back to diets and keep fit ...

Back ontopic and Seriously !!!!!!

Awwwwww..... how sweet!


Thanks for the massage, Mike! I owe you one!

You served me soup and didn't give me a spoon in case I nicked it when I came round for tea. He gave me a straw.

Just joking. We have to stop going off topic mike lol.

*turns round and bends over* I'm here for my kick up the bum time to get my plan into action again.. i've had a week of being a pig and i feel sluggish and bloated and spotty and tired! I wish i could bottle this feeling a take it out for a look everytime i want a pig out

I would buy a bottle from you, Yogi.

2lbs off this week. I'm happy with that but need to cut back a bit this week I think.

I got my 9th silver seven too, making it 63lbs in total

Time to update my sig!

Congrats! That's awesome!

Good Morning healthy Peeps

I hope you all have a good day and shedding the oz/g or as a bonus lb. Take care with your exercising.

Lori I hope you get betters soon and that you take Mike and Kev's advice and take a trip to the doctors

Thanks, suzie. I'm going to see if it gets better on its own. If it's not better by the end of the week, I'll go in....

I hope it gets better soon
There's nothing worse that being in pain especially when you forget and try to move quickly ouch

I hope all is going well in here

Good luck with the diet/healthy eating and the exercise.

I've now started walking up the hill outside my house and hope that it will get easier I needed oxygen by the time I got to the top of the hill I'm hoping I can run it this time next year

Morning all

hope everyone is feeling positive and energetic this morning. I'm feeling positive but not very energetic thanks to having 2 hours of my valuable sleep knocked off by my sister coming into my room to inform me of the news that michael jackson has died (really wish she wouldn't wake me up that way)

Should have used the time to get some extra exercise in but as i am walking arround the house like this ----> i'll leave it till after work

Morning all,

Another pound off, I really thought I had done alot of damage with those stupid marks and sparks 'yum yum's.. I'm never stopping off at a BP garage that is a marks and sparks... I had eaten the whole pack of four before I had got home.. and looked at the calories and there were 2,500 in them....omg I felt bad...

Anyway I didn't deserve that pound off so I am gonna be very good this week.. !! only need half a pound for the stone.. whooo hoooo..

So far had a really good week, not strayed off it at all.
Feel thinner as well, hopefully the scales think the same!

Well done to all those who have lose weight or inches this week

I hope you are all feeling great and are one step closer to your goal

Just been to my mum and dads and they can notice I have lost weight, thats a lovely incentive to go on.... I would like to lose a pound a week, cos by Xmas I will be another two stone lighter...
Slowly but surely is the way forward this time.. and I'm not gonna beat myself up if one week I don't lose..

Well done too to all those that are changing their lives too...

that's awesome, pgtips! You are doing it the right way, and I'll bet you have the success you are looking for. Keep up the good work!

Aww ty Lori, I love that we have this thread too so we can share tips and support each other when needed...

Here's a free catalogue in PDF form for MaxiMuscle's 2009 summer catalogue. It gives you tips on meal planning and excersises.
I've never bought from them, I've bought the same products on Ebay cos it's cheaper, but they do special deals sometimes and you just subscribe to the newsletter to get them.

http://www.maximuscle.com/tool...musclecatalogue.html

I wouldn't ever buy the weight loss supplements, they're designed for bodybuilders I think. The meal replacement protein drinks are ok though they are just like slimfast. Never ad em though...yet lol.
I've had the muscle building stuff and it definately works, I just got a little unmotivated, that's why I don't look like Hulk Hogan.

That's the right attitude PG, slow and sure and not to worry if it doesn't fall away at the same rate (or even at all) each and every week.
In the first four weeks of me seriously thinking about my eating and making changes, I lost 9 pounds, nothing in week 5 and put 2 on again by week 8, then nothing again for the next 3 weeks! But now it has started shifting again and last week someone at work asked me if I'd lost weight. My next weigh-in is tomorrow, but I'm pretty sure I have Lost another pound or so. And most of it's down to just sensible eating, though I have tried to be a bit more active than I have been in the last three years since my mum died. I've kind of slumped since then and haven't managed to pull myself out of it yet.

A recipe for you all

Moroccan Lemon Chicken

(serves 2) calories per sevring 180 Fat per serving 5g

Spray Oil
2 x 150g Boneless chicken breasts skinned
10 black olives pitted
200ml/7 fl oz chicken stock
1 lemon cut into slices
few sprigs of fresh oregano or thyme
2 tables spoons freshly chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

*Spray a saute pan lightly with oil and, when it's hot add the chicken breasts. Cook them for 4-5 minutes over a high heat, turning halfway through, until browned on both sides.

*Add the olives, chicken stock, lemon slices and oregano or thyme. Cover the pan and simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes.

*Uncover the pan and turn up the heat. Cook rapidly for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and reduces.

*Stir in the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

You can also replace the lemon with orange for an equally citrusy but less sharp and more subtle flavour.

This really is a beautiful dish. I serve it with roast butternut squash for a very healthy meal but you can also have it with cous cous for an authentic meal.
