"Getting Fit Over The Summer" Thread

lol what a nice, possitive thread!

I have just suffered an 'intervention' from my parents...apparently I'm a fair bit bigger than I was this time last year and my prom suit is looking a bit tight now...SO I will redouble my efforts to try and be a happy size...I'm blaming eating lunch at home during free periods!! Oh and getting bored of the gym...

I have restarted karate after a 6 year haitus a few months ago...and I decided to restart swimming (what is a good number of lengths to do???) a couple of weeks ago...bit bored of the gym though, so haven't been in a while...along with eating healthy and stuff...

I weighed myself earlier for the first time in over a year probably...I was really quite shocked lol! Its strange...I hadn't really noticed myself get very much bigger (I'm still not like obease or anything...just a little er out of shape :P)

like me but i eat peanut butter and i dont like it! x

pasta and a tomato sauce?soup? omlette? scrambled eggs? google it! x
what are you planning on eating exercising today? x

Well, if my knees are up to it, I'll do 30mins on my stationary bike. I doubt I can go swimming today (I can't drive and so have to ask my parents or neighbours that go swimming to take me).

Breakfast today: White toast x2, butter (I know...)
Um, haven't actually planned anything, dinner is whatever my parents cook, but I might cook tonight (so I can have chicken lol - slightly addicted to the stuff).

I need to get some fruit and veg, but the fruit bowl is now down to just 2 bananas and possibly the odd orange (my brother eats fruit like there's no tomorrow). Maybe I'll have a salad for lunch. but I had the last tin of tuna yesterday and I think the eggs have run out (time for a food shop I think lol).

lol, yeh we always seems to sun out of healthy food. Its a shame i cant stand tuna too! I understand the thing with the knees to. Last week i ran a lot and i can feel my knees being really sore =(, ive had it before and its stoppped me running. I went to the doctors a few years back and they were no help. They said i could see a physio but the waiting list was too long. When i stopped for 5 weeks doing any running it went, but it returns when i do more than usual!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr x

My brother had a problem with his knees and managed to see a physio after about a year, I just stole his stretches sheet, they seem to be helping lol.

I have no idea why we run out of the healhty food so quickly, it's odd lol. But then my parents never buy biscuits and crisps etc, so I suppose everyone just snacks on fruit.

I do well all day up until about 9pm which is when I start to pig out. For example, I won't snack, eat a healthy lunch, a small and healthy dinner, but then when it gets to 9 o'clock, I'll basically eat everything in the fridge. Any tips for avoiding this?

what are the stretches? x

Lol, I do this too! Then my mother comes down in the morning and asks where all the food's gone and sometimes my brother's lunch

Try distracting yourself really. For the past week, I've been spending night time doing sudoku and samurais that I literally forget about food. And I go to my room, because that way I know I won't go in the kitchen.
