Keeping fit guys ?

And there's a physiological weakness! I cut out all refined sugar 7 years ago - oh sure it took a year for craving for chocolate to go. OH, and I don't count alcohol ! But I haven't eaten processed sugar in 7 years...
 
Now days when I don't cycle and I want a good work out, I walk 3m to Lancing and back over pebbles carrying a 10kg ruck sack. That gets me sweating and breathing just about right level to make it taxing. Feels FANTASTIC too in all types of weather, sunshine or wind with the waves splashing near by. With the MP3 on it's just simply great.

Walking on pebbles, similar to sand softens the steps impact on joints. Whilst making it more taxing and tiring moving off.

The ruck sack & weight works the upper body with the side to side motion. There is also inclines and big boulder rocks to climb over every 50 yards or so.


Crazy thing is we have Splash point fitness centre right by the sea front where people pretend to be riding bikes, walking and running on machines. :-0

How stupid does someone have to be???? If that wasn't enough they've built another at Lancing.

The great out doors in front of your nose and some people want to be on artificial machines smelling other peoples body odour. AND to pay for the privilege. :LOL:

I heard on radio 4 that its white sugar one should drop. Like ground up glass in the gut they said. So that went into the bin.

I gotta special 3 for 2 on malt extract with cod liver oil from Boots.

A neighbour owns one. I hate the damned thing. It runs up to me, gets on its hind legs, wraps its paws around one of my legs and tries to get a cheap thrill out of me. The owner thinks it cute but I know what a knee trembler is when I see one.

Over 40 - health checks recommended.

Over 50 - health checks a necessary must to head off any excesses.

sugar is very addictive....try to stop it and see what happens to you.....I cannot drink coffee with sugar, it is just disgusting.....once you drink a few times without, I doubt you will go back, coffee is marvellously bitter...
 
Lost 3 1/2 stone since Christmas on my home grown water diet ( drink some juice or other when feeling hungry ). Feeling better.

pasta is delicious especially when I cook it........:sleep:, but it can be fatty (carbo), never have pasta (primo) in the evening and when you do have little....followed by protein (secondo) with salad.
