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  :rofl)

At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)

Mmmmm, very niiiice. :clap  :clap  :clap

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

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
