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...

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
