I really like the class! But to sure if I get enough cardio from it, so I did the treadmill for a little bit afterwards.
Hi ladies, I've been doing treadmill 5days , 60mins walking fast and running sometimes blasting the music to keep me going then I'll get off treadmill and dance around the house like a mad woman lol if the neighbours saw me they'd think I was nuts . Going to get on today try do 90mins treadmill, you ladies are doing well.
When I'm having a hard day and have no motivation I think to myself ..... This isn't forever (the exercise) .... But my daughter is so I have to keep going ... Fx we get our girls
Hi girls, everyone is doing great!
I did 70 mins on the TM last night, ran for about 65, walked for 5. Literally hated every second of it!!!! It did help though imagining you guys all sweating it out too!
Considering having today off. My calves still(!) kill from the exercise DVD the other night.
Good luck all!
I had a night off last night it was soooo nice !
Feel motivated again today, so will get back on the bike later. Have seen a difference in my thighs which is great ! After ds1 was born they never fully returned to normal, definitely feel a bit more toned in the legs. Wish my mummy tummy would catch up haha!! X

I took yesterday off, but did 75 minutes on the treadmill this morning! Ran for 40 minutes and walked for 35. It always feels good to know I have it out of the way!
Well done ladies
I took today off today aswell, but I have been extreamly active, collapsing wardrobes, drawers, shelves, taking up old carpet, decorating, laying new carpet and then started building the new furniture.
The stuff I did, I got a feeling would sway blue but it had to be done.
My back is hurting now!
Well done beautifulrainbow, sounds like tough work! Do you offer a service?!?! I could do with all of those jobs being done round here!
I bit the bullet and went on the TM for 65 minutes in the end. Decided to save my 'get out of jail pass' for an evening when DH isn't around and I really, really can't face exercise!! That and the promise of a nice bottle of rose chilling in the fridge got me through!
Oh how I long for a Chinese takeaway to go with it!! (sob!)
I was so naughty I had pizza, your allowed a cheat every so often
if I could start a home renovating business I would :wink::wink:
I wasn't planning on doing it right away, but I have a decorator coming in on Thursday and Friday to strip and re-wallpaper my stairs and hallway( don't fancy been up the ladder on the stairs)and the new carpet arrived earlier than expected, so had to get it out the way, as it was just lying in the hallway,and of cause the decorating has to be done 1st!
Hey BR ^^^its only a cheat if its not within the limits...
Lol gilter mouse �� yeah I think of you guys too when I'm working out, I think well there sweating it too��
I'm on treadmill just walking today, taking it easy having a cruisey arvo listening to Fleetwood Mac... Xx

Hi afrevert23, Great job !!! yes I just finished my cardio for the day, did 60mins TM really worked myself today . Nice to hear ppl are motivated I think it helps to keep us going ��.

I did 65 minutes on the TM today - 50 running, 15 walking. I really enjoy running, but I think I might switch to the stair master. I have really been working on my booty!! and I just read about treadmill butt - flat butt. Do not want a flat butt.
The weather is nice where I'm at, so, I guess, I can run outside, but it would have to be while the boys are at preschool & mother's morning out. (Our gym has free child care.)
Hi All, I managed to get in 70mins today was a good workout... Yeah I've been working on my booty too wish my stomach would cooperate.lol ,losing weight everywhere else but there!!
I'm thinking of havin tomorrow off, need a rest.
Keep going ladies xx check in soon
Hey girls! Well done everyone!
Off the wagon for me yesterday ...went out for tea...made bad choices!:prof: Naughty me!
Back on it today. Gonna watch calories really closely and get running tonight!
Good luck all xx
See I wish I could put some fat onto my bottom as I have none there! I have done my hour at the gym this am, didn't enjoy it and feeling sorry for myself today. I'm hungry and grumpy, stopped the pill a few days ago and started spotting yesterday which got heavier but then it stopped this am, this happened last month too and then I'll get my full period in a few days but I think the hormones are making me snappy, emotional and I feel a bit weak. But at least my exercise is done for the day :-) My Oh is up for me buying him an exercise bike so going to get that today and hope it decreases his sperm count in time, if that even works. Hope you all have a good day with exercise and eating, it's 11am here and I am so ready to eat something!

The treadmill made my bum very flat ladies, I also lost what little I had in my bra too! :rolleyes: Had Sunday off so found yesterday's exercise ok, just about to go do today's run after painting all morning.
Hope you feel better soon chocolate.
GlitterMouse I find knowing I can have a cheat sometimes makes it easier for me and I just cut back a little for a day or two.
Enjoy your day off faith.
Hi chocolate , hope u feel better soon . I felt really crap this arvo, I was snappy and hungry. AF due soon ggrrrr, I think I ate too much for dinner too cause I was starving I had gluten free pasta about 125grms with mushrooms and Parma cheese , then I had a skinny cow icecream sandwich. Felt really guilty after it ��. I don't know if I should be eating too much pasta all I know is I love it. Its pretty low on protein and fat , sodium ok but very high carb.
Hi frilly lady I wish I could lose some of what I've got in my bra lol
Hey glitter mouse ��, it was probably a cheat well earnt. Love your naughty me pic lol
When is everyone here starting to ttc? Or is anybody already doing so?
I am just waiting on AF finally starting , spotting since yesterday so hopefully soon. My periods have changed dramatically since starting to sway, longer irregular cycles and short AF, v weird!!
Cannot believe I will be doing first attempt next week or so , agh!!!
The dance cardio vids are hilarious! (Especially the African and salsa style!!)
am certain I used to have good coordination?? Most of the time I just freestyled haha!!
Will try the hiit workout today! Looks exhausting though!! X

Moving my exercise to the garage tonight!!! My jumping around upstairs was making the ceiling lights shake and when I'm downstairs the kids just laugh at me![emoji24]

Hi Faithinpink, I too am so hungry by meal times that my portions are bigger than usual, but then they are different to the fast food I usually grab.
Jennypenny, not long to go for your attempt, eek! Hope it's first time so you can get off the diet and exercise! I'll be ttc end of April which feels like ages away when I think about the exercise and food. Have been exercising and eating less since January but was taking lots of vitamins and eating high protein so going to give it another 8 weeks or so on the diet.
Although I had vegetable lasagne with carrot and swede mash for lunch and a banana at 11 as I was starving and out, and the veg and banana wasnt on my girl friendly list for Pcos but I'm still in my limits so not all is lost today. Looking forward to a glass of wine later :-) Just bought the exercise bike for Oh and need to order some heat pads to try and heat up his man parts lol.

Haha!! Good idea! Might strategically place a hot water bottle on them while my dh is sleeping!!!
I'm doin pcos diet too, it was hard to adjust to when I first started and I felt guilty eating more protein etc but still try to keep it mostly vegetarian. X
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah I keep feeling anti protein bur getting it from Greek yoghurt and other vegetables really. What do you eat in a day mainly? I'm quite lucky that Dh will try anything but then we tried High Tech so he knows we need to give this our best shot

I've been using a lot of low fat products and also weight watchers.
I did weight watchers before, so use myfitnesspal to record what I eat to get up to my limits in a way which is similar to the way I used weight watchers points system.
I use wholemeal pasta and rice, weight watchers brown bread, low fat cheese, wholemeal wraps etc and wine! Yeah!!
It always worries me that I'm eating too well, when I compare how I was eating on le.
But at least this way, I am actually losing weight as opposed bloating up like a big marshmallow like I was doing le diet!!

Do you stick to the Pcos groups? I'm having baked potatoes with vegetable oil and margarine for omega 3s, I worry brown carbs a bit too healthy for me so trying to eat potato or fruit/veg carbs but that's hard to meet calories so I may have a baked potato and veg for lunch and dinner, then strawberries and cream, and a Greek yoghurt. Cucumber or broccoli etc. As a side, I'm not into salads even with dressings so that makes it hard.

I use my fitness pal too but it's sneaky as it sticks to percentages and you have to pay extra to stick goals to grams, which I find easier, but it's fab for looking up amounts as so much of it is on there already

Thanks for making me feel better about the small (read 'absolutely massive') cheat I had last night!
We are aiming for our first attempt in May/June. Have you started already? I feel excited, terrified and exhausted with it all at the same time! Looking forward to that BFP but can you imagine the waiting to see if all this has worked?Quote:

Evening ladies!
Just sat down for my pre run bowl of brown rice with light soy sauce. I'll be running for about an hour tonight. I did go a bit mad with my breakfast lunch - high protein and fat but within limits and extremely tasty!! I also had a cheat day yesterday, still skipped breakfast and did my exercise but I'm pretty sure a McDonald's doesn't fall within LE PCOS diet �� x
My fitness pal gives me totals in grams, and I do not pay extra. I have it tracking my calories, carbs, fat, protein, sodium, and sugars. Wonder why your's give you percentages only. Maybe it is a setting that needs to be changed?Quote:
