LFC - i can feel the ankle if you know what i mean, but i am not limping or anything. I iced my calf muscles and right ankle when i got in and massaged all three before i went to bed. I raised/iced the right ankle agin this morning b4 work. I feel that, its just going to take a lot of commitment to keep it going! And lots of core stability work and NO binging on naughty food

Well, went to doc's this morning - her first day back after holiday and I'm in first! I managed to put her on the defensive in minutes due to me not getting any correspondence from her about my tests and stuff - turns out the results were sent to where they needed to be when they came in - but had not been indicated. Also - left hand don't know what the right's doing, as she said she was waiting for the psych reports to say I was ready - and they were already on the computer! So she had all the stuff there to give me the prescription, but hadn't read the letter I had as obviously it's her first day back.

She did my BP (113/75) and weighed me (94kg).

Tomorrow I will be doing my body stat and taking pictures. The body stat results will go on here - the pictures will not.

Saturday I will start.....

How is everyone today? Eating well?

Ooh Vixx = are you excited, scared or a bit of both? Hope it does whatit says on the tin

I'm more nervous to be honest

I don't have any positive role models to look at who are ahead of me. I see the ones who are fat, have aggression issues, acne, heart problems, and generally can act like an idiot. They don't all have all of these - most have one or more.

I like my personality and I am grateful for my health. I am scared I might lose both

Oii yep are measurements are similar, when I read your's I thought, thats funny!

Morning all - Hi Angel I hope you are ok.

Vixx - massive amounts of good luck.

Back from 2 days of eating and drinking at works annual conference. Feeling a bit tired and lathargic need healthy food, exercise and early nights. No more distractions now so I can knuckle down and get going on that final target.

Have a good weekend everyone

Why don't we put our targets here?

Thanks for the good luck messages. Have trained, now for a shower and the first application....

Hi Vixx, my current target is not to drop out of the half marathon I entered even though i've not been able to do anything for 2 months.

Went for a 30 min walk run this morning and zumba wed, going to start upping the intensity now i'm pretty much better. My only aim is to get round, I think my best bet might be run walk, maybe 30 min run 10 walk.

Good luck with everything Vixx.

Anyone doing anything this weekend. I had a big IT disaster at work just before xmas and one of the managers sorted out a reward and recognition thing because of how I handled it, so I can go out for a meal and claim it back, so think we're going to go for that tonight.

Hi DD, Wabo, lfc, oii, birkmyre, rltw

Was that your target Birkmyre ?

Targets for me -

Get a PB at Parkrun.

Would like to lose 3+ pounds to get me back under 9 stone

Would love to do a sub hour 10K, though I would settle in the first instance for doing a 10K without needing to walk.

To train

Really good, achievable targets on here.

I'm having a think....

How was your bike ride yesterday oii?

Bit of a lung smasher Vixx! Didn't go out with the tri club as needed to get to Nottingham so couldn't spend 4 hours on the session. Did a 22 mile lap, including the mile and a half long hill near me that I've been worrying about since I got my bike! Really glad I got it done, such hard work, I had to stop to get my heart rate down a couple of times. I'll do that hill without stopping next time!

Did you train this weekend?

Vixx76

15/01/2012 at 18:58

Did and am!

I figure being as I am being given a gift of sorts with the hormones, I am doing CV training in the mornings before applying the gel (can't have injections yet due to a national shortage), and am then doing weights in the evenings before the gel is washed off.

You can find my weights programme on Fetch. I am doing body weight, resistance band and dumbell work.

Good work on the hill! There's a country park type area I used to go to in Cheltenham that had to be reached up a big-ass hill. Is it anywhere near that?

oii

15/01/2012 at 19:37

that all sounds really good Vixx, you sound very focused! What is in the gel?

The top of the hill is the golf course, its where a lot of people go walking, mountain biking, dog walking etc. Not sure i'd say country park , but its not far off it. And it is at the top of a big-ass hill xxx
