It was nice - I loaded up on mushroom soup, a ham, beef and cheese sambo with a side of pesto pasta & sundried tomatoes and some potato salad

It seems healthy but I ate alot so there goes last nights gym session pretty much

I had a healthy breakfast too so I'm hoping to keep it up!

No unfortunately not, think I lasted 2 weeks.

I'll give it another go soon though:)

Otis Driftwood

Bummer.Im going to invest in one of those e-cigarette thingys and make a concerted effort after Christmas.No point trying now as I have a huge amount of boozy weekends coming up I wont last.

Sky King

All the more reason to do it now Otis. Smokers always find a reason to postpone.

If you get through the boozy weekends you're home and dry.

You're right Otis, I've been off them for six mths now, and I know that between now and christmas is gonna be the toughest. I know everybodys' different as regards what helps you quit, but I used the mini lozenges and found them fantastic. They took seconds to kill the craving.

Ive heard from a number of ex smokers that once they set a date and got it into their head that was their quit date that it made it alot easier so thats what Im going to do.

Sauve

Agreed. 90% of the work is being mentally ready for it.

Otis Driftwood

Im so hard core I can do it.

:pac:

Sauve

That's the spirit!

Nope, only bother to do it if I've got something formal coming up or wear a shirt for what ever reason.

Very true, I know a few people who did that.

I know once I get into a gym routine and lay off the booze I'll cut down on the smokes

I'm on rollies and I enjoy having my few per day but I wouldn't consider myself a heavy smoker. If I cut down in the next few weeks then I'd consider giving up alltogether in the new year - maybe around the start of February - I'd go for January but I'm not one to follow the crowd and do the whole "new years resolution" shíte


way too cool for that :cool:

I'm getting to be this way myself - only Iron my good clothes really - my body heat will sort out the wrinkles on the stuff I wear at home :pac:

Sauve

Ironing is devil work.
Sorry Otis but you're going straight to hell.

Otis Driftwood

Believe me love,Im hellbound for a helluva lot more than ironing!

Pembily

I love ironing but I never bother unless its work clothes

Afternoon all

Must dig that out when I get home later.

Otis Driftwood

Its mostly shirts with myself and most of them are work shirts.I dont mind doing it and rather do 15 at a time and not have to worry about them for over a month than do them in dribs and drabs.

Well I have lived on my own for years (well other than the dole period after graduation last year) and I'm self sufficient. My Home Economics teacher loved me :pac:

Never too self sufficient to turn down a joke though!

The cycle was nice I'm feeling ok, not 100% but hopefully the Dr will sort me out later! I love when you've the area you're running in to yourself Sav! Cycling is relaxing so better than the stress odd the bus...

Now that you're cycling, I think you need to get one of these sexy kits:

Sauve

Oh oh oh!
Can I have some boards running gear?!
:pac:

Sky King

Running gear, as in wheel bearings and power transmissions etc?

I didn't know boards did that!

Sauve

Um no, I was thinking more along the lines of a boards t-shirt really :pac:

I like your thinking!

I may have a road bike but I won't be doing speeds / distances like that for a while! I'll do about 50k a week to and from work and hoping for at least 1 30k cycle over the weekends

Evening all!

Sauve

That's still quite decent Pem, it's a hell of a lot more than I run in a week anyway :pac:

Strongly considering investing in a good road bike in the new year/spring myself. My wee bro is a good cyclist so I'd have company. Running just gets a bit tedious at times, and I like fast things

Morning all.

As I've only cycle to work on it I haven't done any speed but I hope to Saturday I used to get to 30kph on my cousins bike so hoping I can sustain that speed! I don't run but cycling is soo fast and amazing I would defo recommend investing!

D'Agger

Anybody else here have trouble doing bike work in the gym?

I need to work on the stamina in my leg muscles due to past injuries, also it's good cardio but I constantly get fed up after about 15mins and I'm not cycling around Cork....the drivers down here are manic!

parker kent

The bike is my favourite thing in the gym along with a rowing machine. I'd have the reverse problem with a treadmill, I can't stick any more than 10 minutes on it without getting bored.

With the treadmill I find I'll use it for warming up and then maybe set a target of distance to run.

Try to do the same with the bike but find it a bit hard - maybe I just need to pace myself, I constantly go at a fairly good tempo, if I do intervals I might have more success.

Sauve

@Paulie-
If you're getting bored on the bike it means you're not working hard enough. Pain is a great distraction.

Nah I think it's I get sick of the hard work!! I think I have the answer - the TV in the gym has a usb input - I'll put on a TV show I like and not get off the bike until I've watched an episode or two

Nah he needs to sit behind a girl with a great ass or near a hottie on a treadmill. Fitness through creeping :pac:
