Hey everyone on this very snowy Sunday :smile:

I want to start doing the upper body section on my fitness DVD and obviously I need weights :smile:

Soooo looking for advice, what weight should I start with? I was thinking 2kg each, is this too light or too heavy for a novice?

Thanks in advance :biggrin:

what DVD you got?

ive got 2.3kgs and when i first got them they were too much, try them though, you might find them ok

I have a friend who can do 5 minutes and I just sit in awe and watch her. But I'm going to start doing them daily and hopefully that'll help me improve :biggrin:

I think I might start daily planking too. Before I was trying to do it to a countdown but I think if I actually timed my planks rather than trying to reach a goal, it'd work better. I kinda wanna do one now :teehee:

I'm also considering writing up a little 10 minute exercise routine, that I can do every day (sometimes twice when I'm doing nothing else) because right now it is far too cold for me to be motivated to go outside and exercise and I've discovered I don't really like exercise DVDs :colondollar:

Does anyone have any ideas for cardio I can do that doesn't involve too much jumping around? The floorboards aren't great :frown:

It's Davina Fit, came out in 2010 so a bit outdated :smile:

But if I get the weights I'm thinking of getting the 30 Day Shred.

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to see if I can buy a set of maybe 1-2kg but if not I'll go for the 2kg :smile:

Hoping for good news on the scales in the morning! Not sure what its gonna do since I lost like 5.5 pounds or whatever last time (MUST have been water weight/ bloating from something)

Pound would be nice, two even better :p:

Quite mad at myself, had such a naughty weekend!!!! Feeling like a pig atm :frown:

But tomorrow is a new day, I am going to write out my meal plan for the week after I finish writing this report. I NEED to stop having a cheat weekend as opposed to a cheat day!!! Didn't even do any exercise other than walking round the shops today. I honestly feel like I have undone a months worth of hard work in one weekend!!!!

[QUOTE='Flo[ProActiv];36235736']You could go for the mains with just veg rather than potatoes as well (e.g. the pie, the roast lamb and the fish)

Generally, key things to avoid are things like creamy/cheesey sauces, desserts, etc.

I'd probably go for:
Jacket potato and tuna (Monday)
Pasta with chicken (Tuesday)
Pie and veg, no potatoes (Wednesday)
Lamb and veg (Thursday)
Fish and veg (Friday)

And then fresh fruit :smile:

This sounds like a good plan - thank you :smile:

Quite a good day today I think, after the disaster that was yesterday.

Breakfast - poached egg with 2 slices of ham
Lunch - brown bread ham sandwich and an apple
Snack - banana
Dinner - Plaice fillet with homemade oven chips and green beans, with a Ski mousse
Snack - orange, possibly a cracker.

Disaster has struck through - mother has bought in a load of raisins and sultanas. It's taking ALL my will power not to eat them...can't promise it'll last. She made rock buns earlier....mmm.....

Exercise - Walked 2 miles, 40 mins exercise bike.

Rock bottom is excellent. When you're at rock bottom, the ground is solid. You can only build on solid ground. Things can only get better. I could sing that to you if you liked, but I doubt that'd help... :getmecoat:

Wow, there are some really good pictures there. It's nice to see inspiration sites that are full of strong, healthy girls rather than 'thinspo', and healthy food!
