The Bubble Bath Mat is awesome!!

For pedometer only stuff, there will be an app for that. You just need to keep your phone in your pocket while you walk. I have one on my Android phone. |

Strava works very nicely for tracking walks and cycling, and will talk to various GPS devices including some with heart rate sensors. |

I go swimming on a Sunday when I have the Trouserette. To make it more interesting on Sunday she sat on my back and pretended to be in Mario Kart while I swam to the deep end. I managed it though so if Gaywood ever falls in a large puddle I could definitely save him. |

I had some sort of a lifeguard course while at school. Somehow I always ended up towing the fat guy. So I could surely save a Gaywood. |

JBR wrote: Mail has it covered. To be honest I didn't know when I got it, only that they suggested either go entry level (c.£500) or elite (800), rather than the one in between - beyond that you're outside the cost allowed in the standard cycle to work (up to £1k). Seeing as they're all an upgrade of parts etc. from the one below, thinking the one in the middle isn't worth it suggests it's all a bit arbitrary. Better gears have probably been good for me - cycling legally, there's a lot of stop-start and therefore a lot of gear change and hot brake action. One of MsKovs friends is selling a Scott Speedster S50 for around £250. Looks like i am getting a road bike! |

Weighed myself in a post BBQuattro experiment just now. Turns out eating a fuckton of steak and drinking loads results in 1lb weight loss. Must do that more often then. |

So I figure here is as good a place as any to start recording my progress with my weight/fitness  I started the year with the rough intention of starting running again and improving fitness. I have done that - running twice a week on my kid-free nights with a local running group - which has given me better muscle definition in the old leggies, but not shifted any real weight from elsewhere. Started doing the 30 day shred DVD on Monday evenings, done a few of those at level 1. Been disappointed with my lack of weight loss, especially as I eat good food and haven't been binging on cake like I used to, but realised recently that it's probably caused by the fact that I've been drinking quite a lot since Christmas - some nights I will drink a bottle of wine easily. I have a slight 'problem' in that once I start, I don't tend to stop til I pass out... some of you may have noticed that at the BBQ  I'm giving up booze for July (for unrelated reasons) but am hoping this will be the kick up the arse I need to start with some actual weight loss. I have no idea what a realistic goal is in terms of lbs shifted (and I don't have any scales to keep track anyway) but I'd like to go from a size 14 to a size 12 as a start.

My neck has been fucked since BeeXBBQQuattro and the Travelodge's shitty pillows so I've not lifted anything since before then. It's not quite better yet but I've got much more movement in it. Will weights help loosen it or make it better do we think? |

do you know what you are doing with weights? If not, really leave them, at least while injured. i gave myself tendonitis i the shoulder lifting, and am only just recovering a year later. |
