A couple of weeks ago we bought a treadmill... Caroline loves it as our time is precious ... She gets to workout even though its 'a little cool ' outside....
I'm now in the 5km club and under 48 mins .... Early days.
Cheers Brian

After a little event recently, I've gone from 10-12 black coffee's a day to 2-3 and mostly black tea.

From full strength beer to light beer.

And more exercise, note:- using the recliner handle doesn't seem to count as exercise. (Just for you Neale and Chris

)

Mmmmm, very niiiice.

But seriously we both have started to work on our fitness some what, i power walk/run and do about 30 Kim's a week and do stretches and crunches with that and Chris rides between 75-100kms a week mostly on the trainer due to on call commitments, but as for the coffee we still have our two expressos a day and mostly eat the right way.

I'm one of those guys that has an appreciation to what I have and so I like to keep my vehicles in prestine condition.... This means hours out on the driveway to clean , polish and detail the wife's car , my company car and of course my schWING!!
So alot of bending, stretching, whringing out the chamois while not 'extreme' it does require using many areas of the body . Cheers Brian

I apologise to all our wordsmiths for my poor spelling and grammar ..... Is it 'pristine' or 'prestine' Anyhoo most would undercastumble what I'm saying. Cheers Brian

In 6 months I have dropped from 96kg to 82.5

BMI says I should be about 80 so just a few to go. I am just doing it nice and slowly as I still like me choccy, wine and beers

I just need PitSTop to agree to up the exercise routine

Are you implying I may have had something to do with it?!?!?!?!? Methinks I may be a little offended

It's happened to me before so I keep an eye on these things. I think Diesel was the culprit that time

Sicman · « **Reply #45 on:** August 25, 2013, 07:49:56 PM »

Yes I did imply that somewhere in there

Well this isn't about what I've done to get healthy, this is about what I have done to myself whilst I was getting healthy. I've got the next two weeks layed up on the lounge and off work because I have torn my hamstring.

So if you want a chat, counselling, or a drinking buddy, think of me, I will be here. Lol

WendyL · « **Reply #49 on:** August 26, 2013, 07:16:54 PM »

I'll be with you at least part time Pockey, I'm going to try to convince my doc to let me back to work when I see him tomorrow. I've been "grounded" for nearly 4 months....

Get better quick!!!
