Promised myself I wouldn't post here til I had something specific to say, but no one is posting tonight and I am so lonely (ref to the book The Haunting)
I feel so cool on the pull up machine. I know I'm only setting it on 75kg, but it's the tallest machine in the gym and the really buff people do proper pull ups on it. I just look at them in awe. Lost some more lbs, yay. 15 stone now - stones being a benchmark weight in the UK. It's 210 in lbs, so it will be another celebration in 10lbs time, how nice to be bilingual! Aim (achievable) is to be 14.5 by Christmas. 203. (I have deleted some of what I originally typed). I am proud of myself, I am succeeding, I am enjoying the gym, I am achieving lots.

That's awesome, SG! How much have you lost in total? I have been so crazy busy for the last few weeks, i haven't "exercised" for nearly 3 weeks. But i raked 5 yards today and marshalled a couple of swim meets and I bike the kids to the bus stop every morning.... tomorrow the regular stuff starts again. And them some.

SG is your trainer looking in on you to make sure on your knee position? Just be extra careful about that, its really easy to get out of alignment and pop something. My coach is absolutely crazy on body position, but I appreciate his concern. He's getting my kid to keep better form now as well which is cool cause she's growing again...

In Bums, Tums & Thighs today there was a sequence which involved stepping across the room in lunges! There and back 4 times (not all at once, 4 different occasions). I didn't even attempt a full lunge, just dropped the appropriate leg slightly. But then some of the women in that class had the bodies of athletes. I was so depressed by how unfit I was I nearly cried off Step, but the teacher talked me into it. I stayed behind to talk to her - she's lovely. She said only to do what I was comfortable with, and gave me some alternatives. Same teacher for each class but BTT is a hugely popular, about 30 people. Step is tiny, about 8. Both were value for money, although now I feel like I need to rise to the challenge of 2 back to back every Monday

 ***mutter mumble must get ass in gear :::jealous:::*** I did manage to swim 18 laps today -10 mins was all I had.  And I shifted some leaves and snow. Maybe I'll do some crunchies later (yeah, right)
