well done on losing this week tortoise

was that down to the bike do you think?

Tortoise · 28/06/2011 10:14

Maybe furball. Not been scoffing as much food either. Still not the right foods but hopefully will get there.
Will go for a ride in a bit. As long as I go by 12 I will be back in time for lunch. Takes me just under an hour.

Ooh, just found out i won a pair of these. Wonder if they are going to work? Grin

Bike ride complete!
9.26 miles (how is it slightly less miles but same route!) Quickest time so far of 53.12! 358kcal apparently!
I did most of the ride in 18th gear to push myself a bit harder. Luckily all fairly level so not too hard to do. Had to speed UP hill as quick as i could to pass very smelly, rotting, maggoty badger corpse in the road! Envy (Thats vomit emoticon!!)

you put me to shame tortoise

My friend couldn't make this morning as she didn't let me know until we were at the school gates, so I was already showered and dressed.

I then couldn't be bothered to change to go...........but......I have only had a jacket potato with tuna for lunch.

and I am walking tonight

Tortoise · 28/06/2011 17:26

I don't actually change. Just do it in jeans and t-shirt!. I had to change my top when I got home due to big wet patch on my back from rucksack causing sweating lol! Really enjoying it though which I hope means I will keep it up!

Furball · 28/06/2011 21:23

I went for me walk - twas a really lovely evening for it

have been extra good food wise today Smile lets hope it lasts

I've got all the gear tortoise but not much idea i got it cheap in lidl and aldi etc like £5 for the top and £6 for the trousers. it does make a difference to your sweat tolerance and is alot more comfy

Tortoise · 28/06/2011 21:30

I may get something to wear if I keep it up. No idea what I should wear really. Jeans don't seem to be restricting me so I'm happy for now.Smile
What do you think to the trainers I won? (linked to them earlier!) Glad you enjoyed your walk.

OP posts:
Furball · 29/06/2011 07:28

I somehow missed you WON them - how great!

I must admit - I have a pair, they may work if I actually wore them. alot of folk (especially with back problems) swear by them.

am going out on the bike for a 10 miler before trapseing to sainsburys

Furball · 29/06/2011 07:42

something like this top wise Nice and bright too to help make you visable to drivers

trousers - I've got just below the knee length drawstring fairly clingy sweatpant thingies like this but i got them from aldi.

Furball · 29/06/2011 14:23

10 miler [tick]

sainsburys [tick]

lunch = 1 x crusty roll and pate [tick]

tea = omelette, jacket and salad

Tortoise · 30/06/2011 13:37

Thanks for links furball. The trouble is, where do i put house keys and phone? I use my phone to track distance and time.

I did 9.77miles with DS1 (school closure due to strikes)this morning.
Meant to be cutting grass but looks like it might rain.

OP posts:
Furball · 30/06/2011 15:48

I put keys in me bra and phone in me shorts! Blush

Tortoise · 30/06/2011 16:05

Lol! Doesn't the phone get erm... sweaty? Grin
Back on the bike in a mo to take DD1, DD2 and DS2 to trampolining. That will add about 2 miles to today total!

OP posts:
Furball · 30/06/2011 17:38

I put it on my side in me trousers where it least likely to see any action sweat.

Furball · 01/07/2011 10:01

just done another 10 miler - found it tough going today for some reason

Tortoise · 01/07/2011 10:04

I'm not going to ride today. I have mass lawn mowing to do! Grass has got very long suddenly so that will take a good 1hr+ to do.

OP posts:
Tortoise · 01/07/2011 13:45

Well, i did the front lawn! Was so long it was still quite wet. Will do back grass later!

It's my mums 80th Birthday today. Smile

Just been out for the most huge 55 course meal. Courses just kept turning up and they then brought a birthday cake. It would of been rude to refuse. Wink

How are you tortoise?

Where are you smalline?

Tortoise · 03/07/2011 17:59

Lol furball. 55 courses! Wow Grin
I took DDs on a 6 mile cycle yesterday. we stopped at a school fare (not their school) on the way. Then spent 2 hrs lawn mowing!
Today I have done some weeding and cut the hedge with rusty old cutters!

OP posts:
Smalline · 03/07/2011 20:03

I'm still here Furball, Happy Birthday to your mum by the way.

Have just got in from my favourite restaurant, an eat all you want oneGrin, will be going back there 2 weeks today for my 50th birthdayGrin.

Have had a very busy week, but now that the school's summer fayre has finished (twas yesterday), will have a bit more time to myself.

Have stayed the same again this week, was hoping to lose half a stone before my 50th, but doesn't look like that's going to happen, haven't lost anything in the last 5-6 weeks, oh well never mind.

Hope things are better with you tortoise, I'm glad that you are enjoying your bikeSmile.

Furball · 03/07/2011 21:32

Thank you smalline Smile

Glad you are still about. Your restaurant sounds good.

We also had our school fair yesterday -I was quite lucky that I only had one teeny burger all day as I literally didn't stop from 10-4pm - I have learnt over the years though to take my own flask so I can keep myself atop with whiskey tea.

Smalline · 06/07/2011 16:45

How is everyone doing this week?

It has been so hot here over the last couple of days, I have not felt like eating, have been having fruit for breakfast and lunch then an evening meal.

Furball · 07/07/2011 07:48

I'm doing shite basically.....

must be back up to where I started........been there done that how many times now.......

Hope I to my mojo back soon

Tortoise · 07/07/2011 09:58

Same here furball.
I haven't been out on bike all week so far. Eating badly too as usual!
