Check in and Chat - October 2014

oh dear

Well having just watched the final episodes of 'The Code' I thought lets make good use of our extra hour ......my watch may say it's 23.19 but really it's only 22.19. Time for a couple of comments on the Forum

Don't forget to alter your clocks

All the best Jan

......well just before I go and make a cuppa. How about this!

Two family members had wins on the lottery / scratch cards this weekend.

Alas they did not win millions but they were small wins

All the best Jan

Feel free to post whatever you want

A few ideas - what's happening with your day, what your plans are, what you are eating, diabetes "stuff."  A good rant or compliment works too.

I just think it would be nice to have a place to get to know each other a bit.

(If this is a terrible idea, feel free to let me know - my feelings won't be hurt.   )

Going back to the original post .......I for one thought this a very good idea. It's received a lot of posts and reads.

Will Bode be first to start another Check in and Chat for November?

But for the moment it's Friday 31st October, we've had a gloriously sunny day, I think the temperature in parts today broke records?

But as the saying goes the weekend starts here. So whether you are just having an 'ordinary' Friday night, a 'Halloween' themed night. Have a good evening.

All the best Jan

What amazing weather for this time of year, my fishing club match lake, a beautiful place and a place to get your head together. Andy, get your gear and let's get fishing.

Strictly speaking (not Strictly Dancing)

Shouldn't this be .... 'Check in and Chat November 2014' ?

Anyway very pleased to hear your eye is getting better - and looking forward to latest shed update  

All the best Jan

What gym equipment you getting for your new McDonalds building Andy ?

phew roof insulated, what a crappy job that was

running machine and bike for sure, someone gave me a cross trainer but i hate them, ive no interest at all in weights, resistance training for me is push ups, i would get a rowing machine but i have pain coxix or whatever you call it so cant use rowers

These help, I have one. If you do some research, you'll discover an indoor rower gives a full body workout, great aerobic with nearly zero impact. Concept 2 are the best, quite expensive but will last 20years or more and are professional standard.
I find running machines too boring and many are too noisy to even be able to watch a movie or something. I just stare at the numbers on the monitor and they go up so slow lol !
I also hate weights, never do them. Cardio is my only interest. Stair machines are good but quite pricey. We have a Watt Bike at work and I'd love one at home but about £2500 !!!

cheers mate but i cant even sit comfortable on a soft sofa, i hve to sit slanted, its since i lost the weight, havent sat comfy for 2 years nearly lol cant do sit ups or row shame i do like it

i dont get bored running, i zone out and think about everything, its peaceful

the equipment will all be the best money can buy, buy right buy once is the way to go, not doing the argos gym thing lol

my littlen is putting her drum kit in there too god help me, and i my put a sofa in there....could be handy if i get kicked out

I agree with spending money on decent kit. If you fancy a decent exercise bike but can't manage the Watt Bike, have a look at these, they get good reviews and not too badly priced. You can also cycle various routes and the bike adjusts accordingly.
