Sorry Andy - not with you on that one - enlighten me a little more if you will.

Shh! Don't mention this to anyone else, but .....

Steffie mentioned about losing so much from her waistline that her combats fell down whilst walking around the house once.

I then posted something along the lines of - just so long as she doesn't 'go commando' in her combats, she'd probably be alright.

I was sooo embarrassed by posting such a risque comment, I promised her (via PM) that I'd be a good chap for a bit.

So, that's why me commenting about dropping my trousers is something I'm a little sensitive about at the moment! :D

I can confrim he did NOT say he was going to be a good chap for abit 😛
 
I am quite proud of these 2 (closely linked NSV's).
Yesterday I played in a 4 hour tennis tournament and came second. It was a good standard so I was really pleased with this.
Then today I played a 4.5 hour tennis match and won 5 out of 6 sets giving my team a great victory resulting in us being promoted!
I could never have achieved this in June - and truly believe this is down to all the diet and exercise and related weight loss.
I am absolutely shattered now and going to treat myself to a soak and an early night!

Superb Lucy hun be well proud of yourself , congrats on your teams promotion, enjoy that long soak hun
nights X
 
Thanks Steffie - a little sore now.
 
Wow Lucy! Puts me to shame - I could just manage a bit of exercise bike and some gardening today - certainly not 4.5 hours of it! Well done! 🙂

One of the reasons I like running is because of the progress you can see. I've always recorded my runs, so I can look back and see how far I've come (or otherwise, in my lazy periods!)
 
I do know what you mean - the team were talking about a jump I did for a winning smash and said they had never seen me so fit. I don't ever remember jumping for the ball before or for anything really!. I also have noticed in group training recently when we have to 'round the balls up', most do what i used to do and take their time - whereas I am running around like a busy bee picking as many balls up as I can at full speed. I will catch up with myself one day at this rate!

My additional exercise target is to run the 5k race for life next May. I am just setting out on my 1 mile 'outside' run this week, so will let you know how it goes!
 
Fantastic Lucy puts my 40 mins crosstraining yesterday to shame! And have managed nothing today as I have had a bit of a hangover 🙄

With all that effort you're putting in, I'm feeling sorry for the other guys! They never stood a chance!! Well done Lucy. :D

Thanks Cazscot - your cross training is an achievement in itself! Any exercise in my opinion is good and I know you work extemely hard in the gym.
Hope the hangover soothes for your first day back tomorrow!
 
Well done Lucy, what a fantastic achievement, I bet the team were proud of you. I can't compete with that sort of performance. All I've managed to do today is mow 2 lawns, and spend an hour walking along the beach and soaking up the sun. All power to your elbow.🙂

I got lots of comments from my uni mates today that I havent seen for 4 months and infact one of the girls nearly walked right past me :D...

I get off the bus at the terminus and walk up the hill to uni. Today I did it in 22 mins (bearning in mind I havent walked it since May) and it used to take me a good 25/30 mins when I first started getting fit (before I was fit I would get another bus to avoid walking up the hill). And I didnt need to stand at the top and catch my breath!

well done caz. you must feel so proud hearing all those nice comments from your uni mates.
 
I think this is a NSV, although the person who said it thinks she is criticising, she keeps telling me I have lost too much weight. DOn't worry thoe there is still a lot of me...
