Raining_again

Thanks for the support you lovely people <3 I'm quite enjoying being the head melter instead of the head melteeeee. Bout time.

Cacking up green stuff seems to be the plans for my weekend. My lungs feel like they've had needles stabbed into them a couple o hundred times... I really wanted to do a fucking spin class tomorrow god damn it!!!!! I'm hardly in any fit state to go on a bike for 5 minutes let alone an hour I never thought I'd be huffing about not getting to the gym, guess that's a positive? Normally I'd be like fucking happy days a chance to be lazy but I'm displacing my addictive behaviour onto the gym.... It's probably gonna bite me in the ass sooner or later..

Exactamundo moogle. My master plan will work out perfectly :P

I picked myself for secret Santa. I was off for a few days so mine was the last option, thus non changeable. Fuck them all least I don't get a shit present!

It's pretty new to the exercise masses I think. My fitness first gym only got them in this year I'd only tried them for the first time last Saturday! I do like them though. I feel like I have a lot more control with a log shaped weight rather than a very dense kettlebell or dumbbell. It's a lot easier to keep the correct form because the weight is distributed better I think. Whereas you have to have a lot of strength in your hands/fingers with a kettlebell or dumbbell (I've got terrible lack of strength in my hands, just another one to work on!!) My back does feel lots better, just a bit tight generally. Normally I train today but can't with this cold, so I just did 30 Kb swings to keep the muscles working a little. Nothing huge and did it with relative ease... I've noticed lately that my body is completely changing. I'm getting a lot more dense and a lot less flabby, (although still flabby enough haha) and lumps and bums are decreasing all over the place. I'm getting to a place where I've not been before. 3 sizes down, from a 26 to a 20 I have before and after pics that I'll post the next time I'm on le computer

Count me in!

So I had a very long and flirtatious text conversation with slimgate.... It seems like being a total bitch grabs his attention.... I have literally no feelings for him now except wanting to tell him what an ass he is, so I'm quite enjoying it lol. Being a bitch wasn't ever in my nature but now I'm a lot more confident I'm fine with it. Lol. Not bitching in a nasty way, just not apologising for being honest or for being myself! When he called me weird I used to back down and say well sorry etc, but now I just threaten to karate chop him or beat his shortarse Bunch o fake tan and some more hair and that's totes me btw

I have a back problem anyway, my discs slipped out and were undiagnosed for a long time. Because of that the muscles in my back are weaker. Think it's just something I have to do to get through it and build up the muscle strength again. It's not a pain as in damage, it's like a pulled muscle only not quite as acute, like a really bad post workout ache. I think you could be right about the vipr but I know the kettlebells also cause this kind of ache too. Guess I'll just keep going carefully. I'm not at the gym today as I'm dosed with a bad cold, so I won't be in til Saturday now (as Friday is a fasting day for me, no gym) so I've had a good big rest break. Might try something different and do a spin class on Saturday, batter the legs a bit instead of the back lol :P

My back is in a world of ache.... my form goes to pot a bit when my muscles are getting tired, so I think that might have aggravated my back. Not pain in a nasty bad way (like joint problems hurt) but fuck I'm aching a lot.

Ooh thanks that's an interesting read. I totally believe in the whole theme of that post. I do aim as hard and fast as I can. I don't understand the point of sub 6kg weights :P I'm trying to push myself as hard as I can but I also have to go with caution to protect my joints (arthritis). I pushed myself beyond anything I've ever done in the gym today. I had to stop a few times because my hr was hitting mid 180s... :0 Today I did: Warm up - x trainer - intensity 4 - av speed 10 - 4 minutes Weights: The cycle I mentioned before, going through 10, 12, and 15 reps of each ( doing all 10 reps first, then 12 then 15 so you aren't doing two sets of reps of the same exercise if that makes sense) Kb 2 handed swing 8kg Rotational row (trx body weight) Clean and press (10kg vipr - log style weight) Kb alternating hand swings 8kg Reverse lunge & row (trx body weight) Squat up and chop (6kg vipr) Then after that I got on the vibrating plate for 3 x 60 intervals of Left lunge, right lunge, squat. And the squat up and chop is only supposed to be 10/10 (l/r) in each of the 3 phases as its a hard one, but I ramped it up and did the 10/10,12/12, and 15/15 I am going to HURT tomorrow but I feel fucking bloody brilliant right now Also I lost another 1.8lbs, bout time. I've been surfing in the 250/240 region for too long and now I'm finally well into the 240s Edit:I'm dosed with a really bad cold too. Hardcore gym ethics ftw. I'll probably die but whatevs :p

Landlord should be getting structural checks and roof checks to make sure there's no leaks or problems. It's their house. We had to get someone in for our house (parents own it) We had problems with the guttering on the roof and ended up having to have the whole guttering replaced. It's not cured the problem but it has had a significant impact. I just found bleach was as effective as the mould killer shit and not half as toxic. Do not use mould killer without airflow, a lot of room and a mask. And don't spray it anywhere near your breathing space. Vomiting blood is not fun

If you're renting you need to get in contact with yer landlord to get it looked at

Oh good god someone take away the power trip. Nostrings seems to have had a hard time over "us". And I quote: "Im torn between desire and code" (lol) "been consuming silly amounts (food) of stuff these past few weeks, I eat when I'm unsettled" (to which I asked what's unsettled you) "I dunno. You I think" think he's realised that this isnt going to work as friends... pity cause I do actually like him. Slimgate texted me saying we could hang out on wednesday, to which I said "where you taking me". Like fuck I'm putting up with being treated like shit. If you want to be my friend you'll spend time with me, not invite me over to spend time ignoring me. Checkmate bitches. Raining_again is taking no damn shit today

I know it's a bit of an obsession I can't let go of. :p I did gain 3lb but lost 4.8 last night. Exercise does tend to have that kind of effect on me. I've eaten perfectly, counted everything to minute detail and exercised 6 times in that week, and gained half a pound (this was a few years ago) I was so pissed off that I derailed my diet and caved completely. Not doing it again because that's what got me back up to 20 stone. I know I've lost inches so I'm not worried as such. It just worries me as a lot of gain tends to me I'm gonna have bowel problems or women problems very shortly. I'm well aware that I can't gain masses of muscle, that doesn't bother me, but I believe there's an element of truth to it. From what I gather muscle cells store glycogen, so the bigger they are the more they store. And they also retain water for repairing purposes. And when you lose weight you can hold water in the empty fat cells until the body sees it no longer needs the fat cells. There's so many different possibilities. All the little things adding up. I'm dosed with a bad fevercold thing but I ain't letting it stop me. I'm for the gym tomorrow even if it kills me. Was gonna go for a spin but my new cycle shorts haven't arrived, so I'll have to get on and beat my training plan. I'm for doing all three sets of the ones I listed earlier. Only did 2 the first time. Pain is heading my way but no pain no gain!!!!!

K I'm just going to sit here til my arse stops hurting I couldn't even get into my car earlier, fuck this really makes me feel unfit. I was so pissed at the scales that I took it out n my body and wrecked myself... Have to get a splint for my wrist as I've buggered it up as well. Yaaaay. Ace job on the running ramar. (palindrome high five)

I know our council wouldn't give us extra recycle bins even though we use them (stupid much) but I think it's different in each council area. Worth asking. I've got a damn coughing flu thing coming on that my mother and sister had... Lung death ahoy...better make sure I have my inhaler on me...

Ok so there isn't a muscle on my body that isn't aching right now. That's a bloody effective workout!! Oh and I'm really pissed off, have put on 3lbs overnight on top of the weeks 0.8. Arghhhhhhhhhhhh

Whether its a temporary thing or not it's definitely a good idea to see your gp now. It's easier to deal with a problem before it takes over your entire life. I always feel the worst first thing in the morning, it is when I have those doubting thoughts, the ones that make me want to hide away from the world.

I've only recently started back into my training routine. (like we're talking 2-3 weeks) Would probably use a 10 but they haven't got a 10 in my gym, and 12 is too much of a jump. 8 is the starting weight for women, I know lots of women that can barely press a 6, and theyre fitter than I am! Not enough weight training in their life methinks lol

Thank you ^_^ I took it out on my training session this morning. Did a lot more than I expected and had no vomiting woo. My trainer has given me a pyramid routine as follows: Kettlebell 2 hand swing x 10 (just a regular kettlebell swing) -8kg- Trx rotational rows x10 (holding onto trx straps and doing a pull forward row, while twisting my hands from overhand to underhand) -bodyweight- Clean and press (vipr) x 10 -10kg- Kettlebell alternate hand swings x 10 -8kg- Trx lunge and row ( in a pulled forward row, I push back into a back lunge and up again) -bodyweight- Squat up & chop (vipr) holding middle of vipr in right hand. Squat and grab hold of front of vipr with left hand. Push up and push left hand up to touch left shoulder while stretching right shoulder as far as possible. X10 of each side. -6kg- And repeat all of that with 12 reps, then again with 15. (except the squat up &chop, it's 10 each throughout as it's a very tough exercise) Did the 10 and 12 set today and it took a good half hour, what a flipping work out. It's very simple once it's shown to me and doesn't take a lot of equipment or moving around the gym. I also did 1.4km on the cross trainer before that Lots of what I call non scale victories, so the scale can go fuck itself lol. Plus I have muscles on my legs! And my size is definitely smaller! Also I used a 10 kg vipr! Never used a 10kg weight before (asides swinging my dads monster 24kg kettlebell 3 times and nearly dying ha)

So I was right about having a bad week, +0.8. But I have got my time of the month. I do feel slimmer and I've noticed lately that I've developed a bit of muscle in my legs. Could all be contributing factors I guess. And 0.8 is not a lot in the grand scheme of things! (29 lbs off in 16 weeks)

If it was my pet I have no doubt that I would turn into a monster and do ten times over to him... It sickens me that people are capable of doing that, and that they treat an animal as if it's not got any value. I read that story this morning, a tear came to my eye and my cat rubbed against my leg and meowed as if he knew.... ;(

I only have 4 breakfasts in a normal week, on the two weekdays that I eat I low carb, usually some eggs or some full fat natural yoghurt and nuts. I have a fry up most saturdays, and a big ass bowl of bran flakes with drizzle of golden syrup on Sunday :3 I'm an elevenses breakfaster, normally I can't even stomach the thought of food at 7am! Today I'm fasting so breakfast is likely to be a glass of water or a cup of tea.
