TTC Girl daily exercise movivation group!

failed dismally on the exercise front yesterday as was going to head to the gym last night, but having been away for the last few days hubby was feeling neglected so I stayed in to watch the walking dead final with him. By then I was too knackered and headed straight to bed. As a result today though, I'm feeling really quite down and like I'm lacking purpose?! The boys are still off school so we've had a busy morning sorting bits out but I'm feeling really on edge and down. I frequently suffer like this if I've not exercised so I think it's just that but it sucks as I'm struggling to do anything else now as a result ��

I can't exercise unless I do it 1st thing. I end up making myself busy and then use it as an Excuse not to exercise

Wish ironing counted as I as a few hours of that ahead of me!

So do I beautifulrainbow.
1 hr on TM done thankfully. I seem to have hit a brick wall this week with both diet and exercise.

I too have to exercise first thing or close to it. I just completed a 70min walk wearing DS3 in a front carrier while pushing DS2 in a stroller. It was windy and of course I was against the wind the whole time. I'm feeling it now!

I too feel restless and agitated if I haven't exercised in a bit, 3'sacharm. I can totally relate. I hope you can find some time today.

Well, I've just completed my second nap of the day :( slummy mummy I'm afraid as all done on the recliner while the boys play on the Xbox :((( off out for a run tonight once hubby is home so will hopefully feel better then.

Well done to the rest of you though x

Hi ladies

I have been following you all on here for a couple of weeks, I have enjoyed reading some of your funny posts, they have made me chuckle!

I must say I am finding it hard! Pink sway is a big lifestyle change for me, diet wise, I love exercising but with two young boys, 5 and 18 months, it's hard finding the time and energy to fit it in; I'm sure lots of you can relate! I'm hoping clocking in on here might make me feel accountable and make sure I do it no matter what! Although I build up muscle so easily I'm not sure whether I should just be going couch potato?! Who knows!

I only managed a 40 minute run outside today, ran out of time. Any outside runners find the running is actually getting harder?! I thought it would be getting easier by now but with every run my body is seeming to find it harder, how does that work?!

Hi davesig4 and welcome!!! I regularly run and some days are harder than others; that being said, there are variables to that such as going faster without realising/pushing harder, or just generally being more fatigued at times. I find it best to have a couple of loops to choose from so you can't just "nip" back home, you have to complete the loop to get home. I aim for 10-15km each time to make sure I get my hour in, which by the time you've stopped for traffic/crossed the roads etc and cooled down after it adds up to an hour easily.

The diet is the hardest part for me too, I can do coffee, fibre, skipping breakfast/long fast overnight and not snacking (surprisingly!!!) but not having the sweet treats is a killer - i love food generally especially cakes and biscuits but obviously chocolate too!! I just hope that all this isn't in vain and that my dh agrees to ttc eventually �� X

Wtg go ladies. I have not done my cardio yet today. Just got back home after taking my hubby to work and taking the children to mac ds for breakfast while I sat and watched with my cup of coffee(crying lol)
I'm probably going to go and jump on the trampoline with my youngest son for an hour soon. Not yet though it's still too early to be outside.

Welcome Davesig4 it does help coming on here and knowing you're not doing this slog alone.
Nice pic beautifulrainbow is that your ds?

Not sure
How to change pic on tab but found how to do it on tapatalk ha ha. Thankyou that's my youngest boy and most of the time he is such a sweetie

Did my hours cardio with Gillian Michaels finished off with a little bit of davina. I don't particularly enjoy it tbh, I'd far rather be out running or at the gym but being school holidays and dh at work, it's as good as it's going to get today (hubbys out tonight after work)! Not actually done too badly (so far!!!) on the diet front today...x

Your doing really well 3'sacharm

Hello davesig4... welcome to the madhouse! No offence ladies!!

How long have you been going with the diet/exercise? I'm not exercising outdoors, but I'm definitely finding it harder the longer I go on. I wonder if it is the general fatigue of the LE diet? I've been swaying since first week of January and exercising 5-6 times per week. I'm struggling a bit at the moment. Had a tough week, kids off school, so lots of days out and go-to foods. Plus, my whole body just aches with all the exercise and I feel so fatigued. So far I have lost more than 20lbs but am struggling with general well-being, conjunctivitis, weak nails and hair and lethargy etc. I'm trying to be pleased that this means its all having an impact but its haaaaaarrrrrrrrd going!

Do keep on visiting here hun. The ladies are so down to earth and lovely-we're all going through it together. My absolute best thing for motivation when I've had enough on the TM is to imagine all the lovely ladies here doing exactly the same thing!! That keeps me going!

Ah thanks hun x

I got a ready for weak nails so people find it a bit gross but it has worked for me since I was a teenager!
You know the jelly blocks you add hot water too, to make a bowl of jelly l. Well eat one of those ****s a day and the gelatine strengthens your nails!

Hi davesig4! It does help to have somewhere to chat about the exercise and hear others going through the same struggles.

Glittermouse loosing 20 pounds is amazing! Does sound like your body is finding things hard, great for pink but not for you,Big hugs!!

3sacharm it's hard when you are confined to house exercise isn't it!

I only managed 20 mins on the bike today, had to be that or nothing so I did it at a higher speed and intensity,trying to make up a little for my iced buns at lunch time as I don't want to sacrifice my evening wine ;-)

How much fat and percentage is everyone averaging a day? I realised from tracking that although I eat low calories a day, it tends to be higher in fat percentage which might explain why I tend to not gain nor loose on my normal eating diet and have a little extra padding round the middle rather than evenly spread.
I think today my fat % was about 34 % which is only slightly over, but I suspect usually it's more like 45 to 50%.

Yum! Think I'd struggle to stop at one block though! x

Not sure chocolate; I know when I set up MFP it came up with percentages but now I check with the grams to keep under 60 for both fat and protein as doing (kind of) pcos style le.x

I think on mfp if you look nutrition,you then get 3 options, calories,nutrition and micronutrients or something which show your percentages. Only noticed it the other week,quite handy to see :-)

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Just checked and for today mine is 24% fat 8% protein x

24 is great :-) Think I'm going to replace my hot cross buns with crumpets as they are quite low for fat and salt. Have been playing on mfp ;-)

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Yes!!! Crumpets are great!! I've got a real thing for them lately toasted then a small amount of mature cheddar grilled on top x

Yum!! Have been thinking of some grilled cheese on top!! Talked myself out of it as I keep thinking I should do the opposite of my cravings lol

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Mmm crumpets. I'm like a can of pringles with those . Once I pop I can't stop

Hi Glittermouse

Well done for your 20lbs, that's amazing! I wish I could be so successful!

I started by cutting out meat at the beginning of Jan. Went full on LE at the beginning of Feb, no meat, no breakfast/snacking, drinking diet coke which I have never done before, cutting out more nutritious foods. And I lost about 7lbs in those 2 months, my calorie intake was quite low and I lost quite a lot of muscle in these 2 months, probably also because I'm hardly eating any protein. In March I think my diet was slightly more relaxed and my weight has gone up and down by a couple of pounds which is really annoying, but because I know I'm not allowed to eat at certain times I keep thinking about food! I think this is why I have been slacking a bit! But I have been doing more exercise, which I know has increased my muscle in my legs. Which is going to increase my testosterone I suppose! Argh, so frustrating! We were going to have our first attempt this month but I can't help thinking that I haven't done enough lately, maybe even cancelled out any good I did in the first 2 months, so now I don't know what to do.

I did manage to get out of the house at 6.20 this morning for a run though which was quite nice, I was quite pleased with myself! Did 50 minutes, 8.5k. 3'sacharm, I don't know how you manage 15k in an hour! You must be superwoman!

Oh sorry davesig4 I was meant to say hi and welcome earlier.
It's great to have new members joining our mad house ha ha

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Oh no davesig4 - if it's nearer the 15k mark then it's well over an hour, about 1hr 20! If it's only 10km though then it's about 50mins so I usually try to extend it, but doing the loops it's tricky to extend without going for quite a bit longer!! Well done for getting out so early to run though, I hate running early morning When it's dark. Today should be interesting as a busy one for my eldest's birthday, will see how I go with *an hours* bouncing at the trampoline place and if it doesn't reach it, then I'll head out tonight once all in bed for a run I think...x

Your so good 3'sacharm.x

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Lol I really don't think I am beautiful rainbow!!! I've always been a compensater/justifier in that I try to balance out my eating with exercise, even though I know it doesn't strictly work :s

It's a lovely morning out there, what are your plans for the weekend ladies?x

It's raining here. But I have to take all my boys into town for hair cuts (including hubby) guess I will try and do my exercise later

I heard a deverstating news report yesterday.... A couple were found guilty of murder after the mother stamped on her 21 month old baby girl.... There is people out there who have baby girls and do this to them. and there is people like us, desperate and will love and cheris if we get just one and we don't get! So sad makes my heart ache.

I know, it's so sad and devastating :-(


I'm not sure of plans today, but thinking about food already and about if I and when I'll make myself exercise!
I really fancy a salad with sweetcorn, baby tomatoes and new potatoes in mayo. May have to indulge and get over my potato and tomato worries just for today!

Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Chocolate, I'm always thinking about food these days... Ha!

All this talk about crumpets, I had to get involved. yum yum x

No exercise for me yet, really not sure when I'll fit it in and I'm so fatigued and tired, I'm like a slug, ugh.

Think I might need to find an exercise buddy, someone who will come out running with me, might break it up a bit?! Such a pity we can't all exercise together IRL... 3'sacharm could be our coach!!

:prof::running::superhero::cheer:

Haha id love that!!! I might be a bit of a task master though :p you'd end up hating me! Lol!

Been out for pizza express and thought I'd be good with a vegi salad over veggie pizza, gees they screwed me over!!! Just checked the nutritional info on MFP and that's over half my fat gone for the day, not to mention the shared honeycomb slice that dh and I had :o oops!!! Plain pasta for me for dinner then as my fat for today is already way over at 68g!!!! Gah x

I'd absolutely love it too!!

Do you think you might be more this????!! :nono:

With the rest of us like this :sleeping: :diaper: :hide: :rolleyes: :omg: :tissue: :crawl: :shemademe: :nails: :nyd: :giggle: :rofl: :twins: :wave:

Haha! Selecting those gave me so much enjoyment!! I'll let you all work out which one you are!

PS I'm meant to be working...

Like it GlitterMouse I think I would be :sleeping: or :rofl:

1 hr done on TM, got tomorrow off yay.

My son has been eating crumpets this holiday with melting chocolate spread on, oh it's been so hard not to eat one!

You ladies always make me laugh and smile! I wish we could all exercise together- it would be so much fun!

I did my 60min walking while wearing DS3 and pushing my two oldest boys. It's so hard pushing 100lbs while wearing a 16.5lbs baby! I push myself and walk briskly. Needless to say I'm really feeling it right now!

I'm might have to partake in a nap when DS2 and DS3 nap...
