I don't want a push up bra...

It is true , yesterday I went on the exercise bike again in this rather wonderful hotel. I did 35 mins non stop with a rough bpm of 129 and rpm ave. of 76, I also managed to increase the bike difficulty at certain points. I could go on I kinda like this data stuff and to mark this wonderful discovery I have splashed out on a HRM watch thing. I just hope the chest band is flexible enough for my rounded chest and does not make me look like I am wearing a bloody push up bra. grrrr. Anyways have fun and blog soon Craig

oh bugger... tomorrow am is weigh day so lookj out for either a great happy blog or one of sadness and abuse. c

The weighty issue....

Ok fat fans... since I started my health kick - eating right/exercising I have lost 17 pounds... or 1 stone 3 pounds! Still a way to go yet... but the fat man is that lil bit thinner... I can defiantly feel my little finger moving more free... hee hee

I could have done the gym today ...sigh

Well...

I decided to give myself a break from cycle/exercise bike today after five days on the bounce...

I kinda missed it.

Today was a v cool day, spent it by the coast working - what a way to work - love it!

And tonight the glory that is ARSENAL moved on to the semi finals in the champions league..!

Also I feeling brave. Very brave.

From now I will publish my weight loss and other exciting info...

keep looking and get your friends to come and join us here.

when do you know you have been staying in hotels too long?

you know when you been in a hotel too much when you can recite the following:

• room service menu
• receptionists names
• cab drivers names who pick me up
• have a favourite room /floor

and when you are known on first name terms... I dunno if this pleases me or makes me feel like screaming! :-)
Ok enuff with the rubbish.... today has been a long day with a mega early start and long journey. Have spent the last 4 days at home with the Mrs and have been on the bike each day... I really missed it today... Odd hey? so.... i ventured into the gym and manged 32 mins non stop on the exercise bike ave 76 rpm... Loved seeing the miles stack up and the heart rate monitor - was really cool... this is going in the to purchase list. another great day and another night in a hotel -

Cycling...

Today...

I am quite pleased with myself...

Managed the usual 5 mile circuit without stopping.

Ok.. I appreciate 5 miles is like "so, what!" to some people but to me this signified a first milestone reached!

Big smiles
Sore legs
