Bellys to Bumps

I think we've all been there with the emotional eating and you are right, don't beat yourself up over it, you've moved on.

Ps, I agree with you, the maternity clothing on the bottom of the page is seriously not helpful when you are on the edge!

I am off to the pool at 6, when DH gets in from work. I may have to cancel the HSG tomorrow as I am still bleeding lightly. The nurse told me the period has to be gone for them to do the test. I just hope it stops overnight, i'd rather just get it out the way otherwise I suspect we will need to wait for next month.

that's the best thing to do zowiey

I'm feeling a bit ugh this afternoon, I've had my assessment and have got my gym induction next week. But I've been told that I can't take my ipod with me as the instructor wants it to be more group based, which I completely understand.

But she's trying to get me to do one gym session on a monday morning and then circuit training on a thursday, and I really don't want to do the circuit training as I don't feel comfortable enough to do that yet.

She did say I could join in the aqua sessions in the next town along on a tuesday morning once I'd got my fitness up a bit, but what I've done is e-mailed her and asked if I can do the aqua sessions instead of circuit training. Does this e-mail sound ok?

Hi Laureen

It was great to meet you today and I'm very much looking forward to my gym induction next week.

I have however been thinking about the circuit class and was getting myself rather upset and stressed out as I don't feel comfortable enough to do that yet and am worried that it's going to have an impact on my motivation.

I don't want to mess you around and I want you to know that I'm very excited about starting, but I was wondering what the chances are of me coming to the aqua session in Aberaeron on a tuesday instead of circuit class on a thursday? I don't mind about the distance, it's just that I would much prefer to do something where I'm going to feel more comfortable and my motivation will be boosted until I feel ready to introduce the circuit classes.

Sorry to be such a pain

Emily

Just understanding that you are an emotional eater Zowiey is a huge step chick. It should help you to control it better - drawing that line shows that you are in control.

Traskey, I got myself in a bit of a pickle with my weight and what I need to do - 10lbs would get me down to 14st which I had hoped to do before my appt. I'm 17lb away from BMI 30. I just know they are going to say they aren't able to do anything because it's still too high, humph! I reckon they will say it needs to be 29 and they probably won't even do the funding in our area or something horrible like that.

Sounds good to me

I see a golf advert! Not complaining though!

Emmy, that e-mails sounds brilliant. I completely understand wanting to get into things first before doing the whole circuit training, and I'm sure Laureen will understand too. Once you're in the swing of things then you can get going big time!

[EmmyReece]

I just feel really deflated I got into the car after coming out of the gym and I just burst into tears I'm really worried that she's going to say no

 

[zowiey]

Emmy, the email sounds good, seems very fair to me, hope she let's you swap the classes,

Tarkwa, hope you manage to have your HSG, I shall cross my fingers for you! As for your weight, did the Fs say anything last time you went? I don't see why it should be a huge issue, let's face it, it's unlikely you'll starting treatment within the next 2 months, most nhs waits are around 6-18 months. Hope you enjoy your swim xxx

 

[Traskey]

13 lengths tonight in the pool before the legs gave up! That's 3 more than last time. I was limping quite hard when I got out but it was worth it and i'll recover quick enough

Emmy ~ try not to worry, I am sure that it will be ok for you to swap your class.

Hi Ladies,

Wow this thread has grown so much!!

Good to see you're all keeping well.

I ate rings around me over the weekend, went for a short walk with DH this evening, I had another chat with myself I would like to loose 2 stone before our nxt appointment on 2nd June, that's 2lbs a week which can be done.

I missed you all xx

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Good morning ladies!

Tarkwa you're doing so well with your weight though, they should really take notice that you've lost quite a bit already and that you're not really that far from bmi 30.

Emmy I thought your email was good too, and I hope they'll let you switch classes. In the case they don't, though, just wanted to tell you my experience - circuit training isn't really all that bad and you might just surprise yourself! I know I've surprised myself with the fact that I actually enjoy harder exercise more than easier stuff, as it keeps me focused, I'm not looking at my watch all the time to see how long I've been doing it, and it really makes me feel like I've worked hard for my goal of losing weight. In addition you see results real fast! All in all harder exercise (esp circuit training) really helps keep my motivation going. So maybe try and think differently about it? =)

Traskey yay for more laps! Feels great, doesn't it?

april you mind me asking (you might have said already, sorry if I just forgot) what you're doing to lose weight? I just had a look at your ticker and you've lost so much already, congrats on that! I'm so hoping for 2lbs a week myself, but am not averaging that at all.

Today might just be a rest day for me on the exercise front, as my knee still feels sore from the workout I did yesterday. Last time I had a good rhythm going with exercise my knee got terribly sore, and now I know why - it's one of the Jillian Michaels' workouts, and I bet it's the jumping jacks that are responsible. It's the sidewise movement with the jumping up and down that's hard on my knee, so I'll not be doing those until I've lost a lot more weight!

Have a great day ladies. =)

 

[EmmyReece]

Sorry your knee hurts Strawberry a rest day sounds like a good idea ...

At the time during the assessment when she started telling me about the 2 classes that she wanted me to do, I tried explaining my concerns about doing the circuit class, that I didn't feel like I was at a point where I'd feel comfortable doing it, and she just swept it away and started waffling on about the group size I've just got a feeling it's going to feel a lot like going to school.

I've posted in my journal that my brother's gf has been lovely and offered to join up at the university gym with me, it works out as something like £26 for the month for use of the gym and pool I know I whinge about her sometimes and she doesn't say very nice things sometimes, but she is supportive in what I'm doing at the moment and is doing her best to help keep my motivation up

 

[Traskey]

Morning everyone,

Strawberry ~ sounds indeed like you might need to give Jillian a bit of a rest. Let your knee recover.

Emmy ~ Let us know how you get on. Fingers X for you. They did do a circuit training lesson at my hospital that I progressed to after my back surgery when the physio had finished. I must admit I wasn't looking forward to it but really it was just lots of different exercises all laid out in a room. Bicep curls with a weight, press ups at the wall, that kind of thing. I hope that if you do have to go it's similar to that as there was no pressure. You recorded how many you did each session in the time and tried to improve on it. It wasn't the same as school circuits which were gruelling!

AFM ~ af has stopped just in time so I can go for this HSG test later. Get it over and done with.

 

[EmmyReece]

glad af has stopped hun so you can get the hsg, good luck today xx

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Emmy that doesn't sound great, but perhaps she was just having a bad day and it'll all be good!

Good luck with your hsg Traskey! Let us know how it goes - I'll have one myself before this year is out, hopefully, so curious to know all about it.

That sounds good. I think it sometimes helps when you have someone going with you especially if you have a day when you do't want to go and you know they'll drag you along. x

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I've just had MORE spotting (day 8 for goodness sake, it's never been this long). I am going to go down at 2pm but I bet they tell me to reschedule I really wanted to get this over with.

Update, I called them and they want to reschedule. She was very nice about it, said it's not the first time!
