Back and exercise update

Back is feeling mostly better, I havent had any pain killers for a day and a half and havent been in pain. I tried the exercise bike on sunday and then a zumba dvd last night, and my back seemed ok, so carrying on with those exercises for rest of week.
Cant believe it but I was really happy to be doing exercise.

Best go do tonights exercise...

Week 11 Weigh In

I stayed the same with 14st 7.5lbs.

Glad it wasnt a gain after falling off track several times, I guess I still need to work on the unplanned temptation factor when other people are tempting, ie going to a festival, dad making cakes, friends wanting to go to the pub for lunch, etc. At least I seem to have learned to control it enough that I didnt fall completely off the wagon and kept it to those times. I guess thats an improvement for me, in the past I would have been bad once and then just lost control for the rest of the week, and would have had a huge gain, and maybe given up with the diet, but I am back on track now.

Its all a learning curve. At least I am still living life.

Oh! and I am really missing exercise, that probably didnt help. My back is feeling a lot better now though. Not completely healed yet, but a lot better. I am going to try seeing if it will be ok with some zumba (dvd) because I dont think that would put much pressure on my back? Wont push it too hard though.

So worn out!

I feel so tired! We are really busy at work at the moment, I have done an extra hour for the last 2 days and prob will do so rest of week also. (will definately be claiming the overtime, so at least extra good).
I have been running around all day, my feet are aching. Please take pity on me, hehe.
I dont feel like doing exercise, but I think I have done enough all day.
Need to rest...

Plan A failed, so started Plan B

After day 1 of the 30 day shred, I was very achy up to today, I still have a tiny bit of an acche. I decided to have the monday off because I was so achy, plus I was shattered after my 1st day back at work after 2 weeks off.
Then, yesterday my mum complained that I would be disrupting her tv shows, apparently she is no longer interested in exercising with me like she claimed to be before I started.
So today, I found the same problem, and decided in the end to go on my exercise bike which is in a different room, so I would at least get some exercise.
Plan A: follow 30 day shred everyday- failed
Plan B: get at least 3 nights of exercise a week, in whatever form. With 30 day shred at least 1 of those days.- Started.

Day 1 of 30 Day Shred

I brought the "30 Day Shred" exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels
(Biggest loser personal trainer- for australia and usa).

It is an intense 20 minute workout, with 3 levels to chose between.

I just performed my first day of 20 minutes and I am knackered. Think I will be in pain tomorrow, and probably the rest of the rest aswell, hope it is worth it, I have heard some good reviews about using it.

If you are curious, here's a link to it on amazon;

Exams over and feeling dodgy

I had my last exam today which means I can now breathe. Feeling a little odd that I dont have to revise tonight, after 2 weeks of revising. Need to remember what I did before lol. More time for exercise i suppose.

I had diarrheoa this morning and have felt dodgy all day since, I still ate because it stopped, but had a lot of wind rumbling about. Not sure if it was a period symptom (cos that happens sometimes) or a bug I might has caught off my neice as she has a gastroenteritis bug.

Wonder what weigh in will be like tomorrow...
