There seems to be a good few of us on get fit buzzes at the moment.

Do any of you use Fitocracy?

Personally I find it great as a knowledge base and a source of support.

Used it for a bit but I stopped when I changed my routine. Giving you points per workout is a sneaky way to get you hooked

I just went to water the flowers and I was soaked in the process....

It's not sneaky, it's bloody brilliant.

How do you get lazy gamers like me delighted to be working out? Level them up with pretend experience points!

In other, non whiney news I've decided to quit smoking again as I think its making my panic attacks more frequent. During the day should be grand, it's always while drinking I crave them most.

Now, take this with a grain of salt, as I am currently smoking again.

I always found that packing in drinking for the first couple of weeks after quitting really helps you get over the first 'hump'.

I'm off drink for a month at the moment myself, smoking is the next thing I need to pack in. Worst thing is my girlfriend is a heavy smoker too.

I'm actually finding that while I'm ok with not drinking and eating healthy, I'm getting flack by friends and family "Sure you will have one pint, go on, go on" "Why won't you get a pizza with me? Are you hinting that *I* need to lose weight?"

I never said it wasn't a good idea. I was inventing things to put in. (walked to the toilet 15-points)

Ms. Koi

Thesis has me panicking today. So much to d for this party over the next two days! I bought the balloons to surprise her with tomorrow! Her actual birthday is tomorrow, so she'll be coming down to a mini-party breakfast in the morning before she has to go to work!
Trying to put helium balloons in a boot was harder than I thought it would be!

Haa haa, one of the first promises I made to myself with it was "No cheating" and then as I explore more I see they have achievements for things like "Taking the stairs".

Is there really people who use it like this?

Here is me breaking my backside to log good workouts when I could be probably taking it easy and logging 1000 odd points per day doing it this way :-P

*spins in chair* I finally got a much anticipated book today! Three chapters in and I've got all the feels. Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeels.
Can't believe it's taken them this long for Entwined With You to be published here. I was close to tearing my hair out waiting for it to be released!

Plenty of it :P Been mad busy (still am) working round the farm and sorting out college shiz for next year. Pure balls if ya ask me! :pac:


BUTTTTT I did go to west cork to my cousins holiday home for a few days over the weekend which was EPIC with the fine weather we had, swimming and kayaking and walking alot, was brill! We had no internet access or phone reception there though hence the lack of contact :pac:

How has things been with ye guys? Anything big happen in my absence??

Sit in hospital for three hours trying to get a urine sample from the little one. THREE HOURS. Finally got sent home with some extra urine bags and strict instructions to bring sample straight back into hospital, ON ICE! Got home, peeked in nappy... no sample... two minutes later she poo'd in it

I have a feeling I'm going to have some trouble with this.

Ankhyu

Fed up with briiiick!

Feel like going to bed for the evening, wrecked tired and stressed

Evening all...

Somebody save me...up to my eye balls in application forms and photocoping. Have to copy each of my sons reports 7 times, then match them all up, then fillout 7 different application forms and pack them with the reports into envelopes to be sent off. Had to buy a copier today cause the library wanted to charge me 25¢ a sheet. Would have cost nearly €90. It was cheaper to buy the printer. Ran out of ink now though, so it looks like this is going to drag on into next week. I just want to get it done and over with, its head wrecking!!!!

Anyone here watch the coverage of this year's Download Festibal on Sky Arts yesterday? I swear, if they ever make a movie of John Niven's novel "The Second Coming", Jared Leto HAS to play Jesus. I will piss and moan like a petulant child if it doesn't happen.

It is too ****ing hot to excercise. Wasn't as bad as I expected since I missed the last two weeks but fell on my arse twice, banging my tail bone once so that was fun. The bruising on it from five weeks ago had just cleared up and all.

I feel your pain. That has to be one of the most difficult things to get from a child.

What hospital??If its Tallaght they`ll take a wet nappy as a sample whereas some other hospitals/doctors insist on an actual sample.

Orim

Lesson to be learned. Don't have kids

Was at my friend's house this evening.

Her two year old decided to whip off his nappy, wiggle his bits at me and shout 'Lyn, look at my willy!'

Jaysus, they start young these days! :pac:

I want to get a new tattoo. But I pretty much have every inch of my body planned out at this stage and I don't have the money to get started with any of the artists I want. I don't know what to do

Get your whole body tattooed.

Get your whole body lasered.

Start all over again.

Orim

Yeah but money.

But I've often thought it would be cool if I had multiple arms so I could get loads of sleeves and change them.

It's Temple St and the nurse practically begged me to bring the sample back. Said that lots of parents say they will come back but never do, think that's mental. They also took blood samples from her, very efficient at that, took less than two minutes!
