TTLW for TTC

Pity Laliek, coz I'll probably do the one in Emmarentia (which, from their description, sounds like the venue is actually in Melville and is on Beyers Naude). But like I said, I'm trying to round up friends and family to do it with me - I think I'll probably do the early morning one coz I cannot motivate myself to work out after work. I'd prefer to sleep early and wake up early to work out before work.

A colleague of mine does adventure boot camp as as substitute for gym, she basically does the 3-day a week camp for a month, then there's a week break, then does the next one. She loves it (and she's got a great figure as well!).

Cool, I'm looking forward to comaparing notes

Oh firefly regarding your question on the bootcamp - no Trinity House is a school on Beyers Naude, the Emmarentia one is a bit far for me to travel!! But I'm sooo glad that someone is doing it as well - I'd looovvvee to compare notes once we started!

Excellent girls - I can't wait and I'll need motivation!!

Ika and Firefly my goal for the next 8 (possibly 12 weeks) is to:

Try lose majority of body fat and gain lean muscle

Concentrate on gettin a strong core

Healthy natural eating with equal amounts of carbs and proteins (no proteins in evenings)

Concentrate on me and my DH and just be in a healthy happy place

Leave the rest finally up to God

I think this is great Ika!

I probably won't be ttc for about a year but I do want to get into the best shape possible before then.

I have been gyming for the past two weeks and am back on the Holford Low GL eating plan (I was on it earlier this yr and then fell off during the World Cup!). We start fasting next week and I plan to continue eating healthily even though exercise will be difficult (though I will try to walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes in the evenings after we break fast). I'm also planning to do the adventure bootcamp in September (like Laliek) and hopefully that will whip me into shape!

I'm not technically overweight (my bmi is still within the "healthy range") but I have gradually picked up about 10kg in the last three years since I've been married and gained a little bit of tummy flab and I would DEARLY like to be able to fit into some of my jeans! I don't mind if I don't lose weight though as long as I pick up muscle, lose body fat (which is currently sitting at around 30% despite my "healthy" bmi) and lose cm's!

I've lost about 2kgs in the last couple of weeks, so still about 8kgs to go!

Hi All,

I am starting a new journey. I am tacking a break from TTC and will try and Lose weight, sort out my head, do all pre-TTC prep. And be in a healthier happier place for when I start and TTC again in two months.

I know we have a few girls who are also doing the same. Please join and lets keep each other motivated.

My plan is only a two months break! I will start with my new healthy journey on the 13th! Doem doem doem. Gonna have some wine and relax and celebrate my new jouney for a week first.

Then I will be on a strict jouney till the 8th October. I will then re evaluate my situation and see if I am at a place where I can TTC again!

In my two months I would like to:

Sort out my weight

Get my Insulin under control

Start sorting out my head and be a great mom and wife not obsessed with TTC.

Enjoy what I currently have

Get my work up to date

Be fitter and healthier

Be in a better spiritual state of mind
