Sporty Forty.e t

I'm back!! We had no internet access at all - 9 days is a very long time and a lot to catch up on so if you don't mind I will start from here.

We have had a great time if very wet and windy. Not much exercise has been done as we haven't left the caravan very much. Back to walking tomorrow.

I have been good food wise though and on the whole ate well with a small portion of fish and chips, some potatoes when we had run out of salsaf and some icecream (on a few evenings oops). I checked my bg a few times and it was always under 6 so that was good. I had a small piece of dark chocolate (old style not 70-80%) and it was sooo swet and horrible.

Jamrox happy birthday - hope you have had a great day! lovely watch!
 
.....no longer t shirt weather here, freezing and blowing a gale all day...

...@Jamrox birthday wishes for you and love your watch! it was a lovely post of yours too, pleased you are feeling much better than you did and enjoying life..:)

...good to see you back aqualung!
 
Yep @Jamrox Happy Birthday.

I've been out for my second 40 minute walk today. It was nice and refreshing, quite windy but it helped to improve my mood which was why I went out again.

Welcome back .
The weather has been stinking.
I blame the Americans and their bad weather lol.
You ve done great food wise ..and on holiday lol
 
Good to see you back and that you had a nice break despite the weather.
Just managed a 15 walk today if that as so windy. Going to try and get a bit on bike later if there's time between dinner and bed- lovely to see friends but means late evening meal. I think I am beyond feeling hungry.
 
I have had a day off today (unless you count walking around Decathlon looking at the sporty stuff and braehead shopping centre looking at cream to get rid of the bags under my eyes (I can see them now ive got contacts lol
I wonder how long it will take to be able to put them in or out..
 
For Zand .

It is blooming freezing here..

Well today is my birthday (49) and I got this lovely watch.
I also got a waterproof walking jacket and a pair of padded shorts for my bike. .my family know me so well.

We went to Glasgow to exchange the jacket as it was the wrong size.
Went to Decathlon ...I can't believe how excited I was in there, I could have spent a fortune , thankfully my husband had sense and said we ll wait till after pay day lol.
When I think about a year ago when I was not doing any activity/ exercise etc , feeling rubbish and just really getting to grips with the big 'D ' ,
I honestly think I am a different person now , a happier , healthier person. A person who now cares about how she looks, and loves feeling well. I go to parties and you can't get me off the dance floor , I walk up hills and run back down.
I have an exercise bike , a cross trainer and little weights, and I actually use them.

If this is a midlife crisis then hooray for midlife crisis.

Now what can I try now...line dancing , ballroom...ooh going on Google lol

Thankyou are , you lovely lovely supportive non judgemental people. I honestly couldn't have achieved anything without you all. Xxx

I am liking this soooo much! Happy, happy birthday.

Slim wrist too, I notice.
You have worked hard, and dragged us along the exercise route too. Thank you. What an achievement. Just think how well you will feel next birthday.
Bless you!
 
Err, for some strange reason I had not received the posts on this thread all day. I thought I had no mates, so I sat here sulking, not exercising, and eating a cornetto and drinking red wine. It was too windy to go out. I am still wheezy, so would not be able to breathe. The most exercise I have managed was to slice some chicken for dinner.

Feel quite ashamed now I know you are all still here. Will make amends tomorrow.
 
Haha Pipp you are nuts ..any excuse is a good excuse to drink red wine haha.
My arms and legs have always been skinny , its the rest of me that isn't. I am, or can now say wss :) the original apple woman , a circle with skinny arms and legs. By the way I will spare you the image of me in my padded lycra cycle shorts. ....look like im wearing an incontinence pad lol.
Well better go get ready for work, onwards and upwards 364 days to the big 50 :). I wonder how much fitter we will be then?
 
...out with family yesterday, initially for a meal but it involved quite a bit of walking in the end so managed to hit target..

The wine was awful, but one has to finish an open bottle. Didn't rate the cornetto either.
I started today as I mean to continue. 20 mins Pilates before I even got out of bed. About to do a workout with the vacuum cleaner before I go to the swimming pool. If I don't get moving I will lose the habit of exercising. It is amazing how quickly one can become a couch potato.

Do you? Even if it's awful?

I think I'd open a new (better) bottle! ;)
 
And I did open a second bottle. Just to take away the taste of the first.

No way will you be a coach potato ...we won't let you lol.
Anyway I need you not to be because I need the guilt factor to keep me going. If you aren't doing it then I won't feel guilty. ..no pressure lol
 
Now I am back home after my operation I have to exercise every day so do you mind if I join you ?i am only able to do short walks on my Zimmer frame at moment but will do it 5 times a day as I really want to get back to normal.

CONNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIEEEEE! :DHello, good to have you here, I'm more motivated already! So glad your op went well and that you can join us at last. II did my 40+ minute walk this morning.
 
Hi Zand you are being a good girl such a long walk as well ! Don't think I will be able to match that yet but feeling really good and positive about getting back to normal, I know I can't rush things got to go back to hospital next week to get dressing removed which has started itching so that's a sign it's getting better I hope.
