Phew Catching up...... started riding my bike home and to work (14 miles each way and hillllllly ouch) driving up reigate hill seems a lot flatter but hey ho, i only nearly fell off twice last night and once this morning so getting better with the pedals I've also nearly mastered the timing the traffic lights so i can keep my feet locked into pedals, only one near fatality doing this so far, my legs are gone but it must be doing me good right?.... right? we have been going out every night geocaching as my 11 yr old LOVES it hehe, i do too luckily but even if i didn't id have to go anyway, england playing football wasn't good enough reason not to go lol (thank you sky+), so a busy weekend finding treasure and on the mountain bike, which is cool as my butt needs a rest from the road bike, the mountain bike seat feels like sitting on fluffy pillows after the spike they call a seat on the road bike, I've pretty much stopped running :( can't find the motivation but once the legs get used to the bike ill pick it back up, anyway well done everyone :) your doing great!

Andy,
Paul is WELL impressed and says come and ride with TeamBG for a stage of the ride - stage 2 and 3 still have a couple of places left. Get cracking and you should be able to raise enough sponsorship to cover the entry fee too! It would be such an awesome adventure!:joyful:

How lovely!
That will be so much fun!:happy:
Do you have an excuse to play dress-up yourself? I always get hot and flustered trying on - must burn loads of calories! Plus you will get to prance about in ball gowns together!

Sat here chuckling at some of the posts. My arms and legs are knackered from yesterday so I walked for 45 minutes to and from the nearest supermarket to put the lotto on. Not many people out walking. Hadn't noticed that before.
Weather absolutely gorgeous out. First time I've worn sunglasses this year.

Have found a running club very local that does beginners run next Wednesday. I'm going to give it a go. I hate the treadmill.
Bit scared though. Got a nice email saying walking or running not a problem

Confession.
I am not very virtuous today. Struggled to get out of bed 10.30am. Back to bed with severe headache at 12.45pm. Just emerged with slightly less painful head, but not up to much. Does finger exercise typing on keyboard count? No, thought not. I will try to get my 30 minutes by strolling round the garden. Probably have to break it up into 10 x 3 minute chunks though.

Sorry you felt bad Pipp.:(X
 
Absolutely useless yesterday - (bottom lip juts out like a helicopter landing pad)
Ended up working all day, and the only exercise I got was to work off my bingo wings for a few minutes trimming the hedges.
This morning I'm off on a bike ride though - and I'm already being shouted at to get off the pesky forum and get my shorts on!
Catch you all later! xx;) Have a fantastic day everyone!

Trimming hedges sounds like exercise to me. Claim those minutes.
 
Pipp I wouldn't have thought of using the garden furniture for a workout that is a cracking idea. I've gone through the last 20 years doing b@@@er all exercise because I've got no imagination.
So the personal trainer had me standing on one leg with the knee up on the other to then lean forward in a superman pose while moving the leg off the ground backwards. For balance (or he was just laughing at me!). I fell over so many times I must have registered on those earthquake detector thingies.
To practice, I was doing superman during the adverts of Miss Marple. Had to move the coffee table away and stood well back from the telly to minimise damage.
Still trying to work out how I hit the light above?


(GRILLED JELLY- rofl when I read that. Very healthy)

I am feeling better today, thank you.
Have already put in 30 mins walking round the shops. I was holding a supermarket trolley to stay upright, and it was slow moving. If this sounds like a cop out because it doesn't sound like exercise, please be gentle with me. I have a wheelchair that I cannot use because the good old NHS just saw fat girl with diabetes when they assessed me for it. Ignored the fact that the fat girl with diabetes was not fat and did not have diabetes when she injured her spine, making it impossible to self propel a wheelchair. I don't know anyone who has the stamina to push someone as big as me around in a wheelchair. Normally I just manage to get to places in the car, and walk very short distances with sit down breaks every few yards.

Pipp if you went round our Asda you would actually be doing an obstacle course as well. Dodging kids and trolleys left in the middle of the aisle. A bit like Lara Croft a Tomb Raider.

I'm liking the way you look at a situation and work out how to use it to increase your activity. It's making me look at things more thoughtfully.

After the stepping yesterday my BGs went up :banghead: - coincidence or cause and effect?

Just 4 hours walking around an exhibition today - might not have got the heart working much but my feet know about it!
 
A nice 60 minutes round trip to the supermarket in the warm sunshine to buy a couple of items we forgot from the weekly shop. Unusually I felt very tired when I got home and so slept on the sofa for an hour or so.
