jackie morton Fitness Guru Posts: 1065 jackie morton Have entered a mini triathlon on September 21st. Training was going well, till I pulled a calf muscle, it is improving by quite a bit. Only 2 weeks to go now. I will do it, I will be able to complete it. But this also where the self doubt creeps in.	# Posted: 1 Jun 2008 21:42 Day 13 and day 14 done, to the best I can, will have a go at part 2, some of it won't be a problem. But will do what I can of it, couldn't get last weeks paper so will have to check it out off the computer. Might have a go at printing it off, but at the moment we have two computers linked up and they both do different things, and a separate hard drive as well for photos and downloads. It can sometimes drive you mad.
Sabrina Vande Cotte TimesHealth Newbie Posts: 1 Sabrina Vande Cotte This member has no personal statement yet!	# Posted: 2 Jun 2008 13:41 Hey, I'm new here. I've just started the dietplan today together with a friend. I'm motivated for the moment and I really hope I can do the whole 28days. I just have one question. Does anybody know around how many calories breakfast,lunch and dinner is in this diet? Or a website where I can look the calories up that I've eaten. thanks!
Pippa Cotton Fitness Guru Posts: 359 Pippa Cotton I am 47 and trying to shift weight. I have always eaten for comfort and in times of stress. I really want to make 2008 . Since Jan 7 I have lost some weight and since taking up running in April I have lost 26 lbs so feel pleased and can run for 6 miles now. Can now wear size 16. Great motivator being a Times member of the month for June my family were impressed. Henlow Grange was a fantastic spa and has encouraged me to carry on. aiming at first 8K run on 21 September the Amersham 5 a cross country race.Help!	# Posted: 2 Jun 2008 15:00 How did people get on? I did the squats and sit ups but not as Matt suggested being female. Found it ok the first week but didn't complete the second one at all! All the best to all who want to get fit for their hols! I have still to do the tree running, the weather was wet here so ground slippery but may try this week if I can find somewhere with evenly spaced trees!

You have to fit things in or adapt them to what you have on offer. Tis week is going to be fun,-play a sport, I would love to have a game of badminton, but have no one to play with. Then their would be a question of finding somewhere to play. If you don't live in a town/city it isn't always easy.
Kate Wighton TimesHealth Newbie Posts: 23 Kate Wighton I'm the science editor at The Times Body and Soul section. I'm also very very unfit. And I loathe gyms. But I think it's time to get in shape, so I've decided to dig out my trainers from underneath my bed (where they've been for the best part of a year) and begin a regular exercise regime of lunchtime jogs, a bit of swimming, and maybe some footie.	# Posted: 2 Jun 2008 18:05 Hi Jackie, at the bottom of this article is a link to a badminton forum - this might have info on clubs in your area? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/me n/article3725033.ece

I can't say how far it is a over half of it is over rough terrain, rabbit paths by the river. A good work out though. I finished off the run with 15 mins on the rowing machine. Here's to day 2
Jaki T Fitness Guru Posts: 1292 Jaki T Married with 2 children, Welsh, and I've made my target, today 24th July! The bigger struggle will be maintaining the healthy lifestyle of swimming, walking, cycling in conjunction with healthy eating, so I need the forums for encouragement.	# Posted: 2 Jun 2008 22:39 Well done Jackie, my exercise plan seems to have gone by the wayside. I'm not so keen on jogging and all those leg exercises. I do still have some exercise cassettes from the early 80s (showing my age) which I used to love doing - I'll have to get them going again. I particularly enjoy Classical Kicks (London Ballet) and Lulu. I may even have a video somewhere and I was given a pilates dvd which I'll have to dig out.

The leg exercises wern't too bad, the oblique bridge, I didn't have a guide piccy so that wern't easy. I have been able to squeeze a few squats/lunges into my day at work-when no ones looking. Having to take something up in the lift for example.

That really does make me smile! I visualise you in the lift with one of the patients (is that the right word?) with you doing lunges!!

I visualise you in the lift with one We call them residents, but mostly its laundry and other stuff i take up and down. I'm only a househeeper, but often I do have to help out doing other things. Try to visulise lunges or squats with a washing machine. Or even a hoover if it comes to that.

Can't do the oblique bridge, if its up on one arm like a full press up I've got no chance. I am doing everything to my ability when I can.

Doctor has just signed me off work, have somehow pulled my back and it keeps going in to spasm. It shouldn't take me too long to pick it back up though, I'm much fitter than I was 6 months ago.
Alison S TimesHealth Fanatic Posts: 170 Alison S Just the wrong side of 50. Fed up with the ever upward trend of clothes size. Summer holidays looming - must drop a size by then !	# Posted: 4 Jun 2008 17:56 Quoting: jackieathetimeshealthcouk Having to put the exercise on hold for a few days.
