Lol!
Having a good think about what exercise to do today too!..... Sun's just come out - a walk with the dogs first.

Hey guys, guess what - we picked up two cats yesterday that needed re-homing.:cat: The house seemed empty after we lost our moggy! A formal doggy introduction has yet to be done.
 
4 x 5 minute walks this morning to and from the train - been to travel health centre to collect malaria pills for work trip to Cote d'Ivoire in a week's time. Not sure what exercise opportunities I'll get there, but I'll think of something!
 
Count me in! :) I missed out on the 42 proper, though I made a feeble attempt ...now and again....just been so busy.... the moon was in Kali Yuga and not well aspected....

Right! Motivated, and just bought myself a sparkly pink hula hoop !:D

Signy
 
20 minutes on exercise bike. Then some brisk walking in town when out shopping should cover the other 20 mins, particularly the bit where I bumoed into someone in supermarket and had to go right back to start as I'd lost track of what I wanted.

Well done @Jamrox!

Wow!,
Where are you going sanguine? I don't know that part of the world - I've just been trying to google it, but our internet connection is dreadful at the moment.
Hope you have a wonderful time!:cool:
 
Thanks Bebo! It's supposedly (this is Africa) about 2 hours drive north of Abidjan. Should have internet so I might try and post a diary of sorts, maybe even with pictures (food, people, surroundings etc). I always find going to Africa puts a lot of things in perspective. Should be fun (but hard work)!

Meanwhile today I've done a total of 30-40 minutes walking in 10 minute bits, and 20 minutes on the rower in three stints an hour after eating - this seems to be good at using up the glucose from the food without the liver having to assist.
 
You keep raising the bar!

But yes, amazing what the combination of encouragement, inspiration and a bit of competition can do!
 
....still pounding the beat in the lunch hour, 50 minutes today, does that mean I only need to do 30 tomorrow....;) .....now mostly have my lunch at my desk while working as don't have time to fit it in!

...thinking of getting a bike in July, just thinking not definite yet, don't think I'd have the confidence to go out on the road but there's a lot of flat spaces around here..
 
10 minutes brisk walk this morning and I've just completed another 30 minutes.

I turned on the TV when I came in :

Ch4 The World's Best Diet

Began at 9 but the presenter was talking to a French doctor and asking why, with such a high saturated fat content in their diet, is heart disease low in France. During the discussion the doctor explained that about 30 years ago people wanted less fat and added more carbs. He said a lot of carbs resulted in diabetes.
