Hififi........take Tans advice. Do them!!!! They are the devils toenails but they WORK!!!!
 
And getting people to stare at you is par for the course babe. Get used to it! 
 
Never complain.....NEVER explain!
 
Just smile enigmatically and lunge away!

Bullsh1t on not being able to have amazonian goddess type legs at 5'2" stop making excuses! Look at Kittys legs at 4ft something as testament to the fact that height has nothing to do with it!!!

As for teh walking lunges, simple solution, do 'em on a treadmill - that's what I do! And yes they are the worlds worst exercise, my own personal most hated but they work more than you will ever know, or begin to fathom!

My Blog!

LOL!
ok, ok, I get the message, walking lunges are:

• the way forward
• the dogs bollox
• the bees knees
• The devils toenails (?!)
• 5'2" & under amazonian godesses pins

I fear I may not be able to walk most of next week after my forays into the exercises of the she devil mentors I seem to have aquired here, hehe!
But it's bin too long since I felt that way.  

& Altho I've never met him I feel I can almost hear PT Petey yelling 'YOU WANT LEGS, I'LL GIVE YOU LEGS' !!
Bring it on!

Just make sure you have stretchy pants on for the walking lunges so they don't split like mine did!!!! I have to say though at our place this was applauded and I was told I was on my way to being a real BB coz my pants had split....I think the only things left are to puke and wee....oh the joys I can hardly wait LMFAO

Our Kitty is not the tallest amongst us so Flicks 4ft reference was quite amusing....and brave :0)

Hififi - I havenow got to the point where NO clothes fit, jeans don't go over thighs, tops too tight across the back and shoulders and sleeves....just don't mention sleeves. So stretchy IS the future ;0P

Day 11 - 04/12

Ok day.
Switched alarm off & didn’t go to gym but legs were tired at spinning last night. Just a little annoyed as off to Newcastle for a wedding tomorrow so won’t make gym at all & will be eating & drinking a few extra calories, although I plan to try & stay in control & enjoy it but not eat & drink for the sake of eating & drinking. That doesn’t appeal anymore. But wana enjoy the weekend & not feel pissed off with myself, progress not perfection.
Diet good today tho.

kitty will let flick off as she was stressed with her exams but for future ref please add on an extra 10.5" to the 4'

hififi, it's certainly possible to get good legs if you're a short arse. They're my proudest asset when they show through!

Prada don't do stretch darlink. 
 
Nor do D&G or Armani.......Ralph Lauren do a nice line in lycra though.

I'm back from Newcastle!
Journey up wasn't so bad, but back there was quite a bit more traffic.

The weekend went well as far as the wedding was concernerned but my diet was more damage limitation than being 'good'. But as my signature says "no-body plans to fail, they only fail to plan" & I didn't plan enough. But I WILL log this experience in my notes so I know what is & isn't possible for me on such visits for the future. I was able to make some better decisions but shouldv'e taken supplies with me.
Will post update tommorrow.

Alas (not that it'll come as much surprise!) I am not hardcore, having never puked!

05/12 - 07/12

Wasn't as bad as I could've been, but not as good either. But I just have to learn from each experience & make sure that I remember & use the information next time.
Late setting off Fri which was good as meant we wouldn't make N/C for lunch, so I had usual salad while Mark had Wimpy, that was quite e****ing.
Dinner at hotel didn't seem too naughty actually but was accompanied with 2 pre-dinner G&T's & 2/3 of a bottle of red wine! I managed to resist the urge to order full english & had smoked haddock & a poached egg each morning, but also couldn't resist 2 slices of toast with butter & marmalade & a croissant!
Dinner at the recetion wasn't too bad & only had 2 pints.
Probably being too hard on myself for having what I had from buffet, but it repeated on me anyway, so I shud've just stuck to the sarnies rather than the samosa's, spring rolls & various pastry products!
Journey back, had a cnp flapjack bar, but was feezing when westopped, needed some warm comfort food, so I succumbed to a burger!
But progress being that I declined to super size & chose water not pop.

Really enjoyed this WO. The walking lunges on the treadmill were interesting.
Will have to concentrate as was doing a really long stride which hit more my quads than my glutes.
Need to shorten stride.
Spinning tonight also, as I am 'ayas' already, I look forward to the morning!
Diet good, straight back on track, smoked mackerel with rice & salad tonight.
 
YellowHaze: x1 - Gonna drop the dosage back, as that's what the bottle says & I felt fine on 1 (may try 2 again next week).

The walking lunges on the tread hit everything. You may feel it more on your quads while you are doing them because you have more muscle on them so it gets pumped. Static lunges don't hit my glutes but really batter my quads....walking lunges just batter EVERYTHING lol

Diet good, having pre am WO feed of shake: 20g-ish of whey & an oatibix with tsp sweetener & 100mls skim milk. Dinner tonight was sushi out with girls with sparkling wtaer.
Legs quite sore, but not unbearable. Figured I could cope doing CV with sore-ish legs but would compromise weights after couple of days of cardio. Having had w/e off means they're nice & fresh & I can hit em hard! which I think is what they need along with a tight diet to lose the fat.

Get Christmas out of the way and then I think you need to get your diet sorted properly. No use doing it now because it's probably the worst time to start lol. Enjoy the next few weeks with a view to knuckling down in the new year. Do a bit of research in the diet and nutrition section/other forums and ont'internet and see if you can put something together for yourself. Be reaslistic and include foods that you like....if you don't like fish then don't include it etc. Then post if up and I'm sure the laydeeeez can help you fine tune it!

Kule, thanks for keeping it real for me.
Although I do plan to not lose the plot completely, so if I manage to maintain, I guess that'll have to do me.
PT David's quite keen to get training me in new years also, so that's something to look foward to.

Ouchie!
Managed to get better technique on treadmill walking lunges yesterday & has done the trick my glutes are feeling it today.
Spinning last night was amazing! Endorphine overload.
Really enjoyed Chest & Tri's this morning.
Looking forward to PT session with David as all info is getting a bit confusing. Be good to have contact with someone every couple of weeks to pat me on the back or kick my butt.
Am going to just try no to gain over x-mas & not be as I would see it bad so'as to keep my head on an even keel also.
