Last time I climbed (indoors or out) was around 2007 (so fifteen years ago) at the Castle, Finsbury Park in that there London. Your recent description seems to fit with my memory of the experience perfectly. Maybe you're more accurately explaining how long it takes things to filter oop North from mo...

Hey Tony (said in a Goodfellas New Yoik accent), I was just scouring the t'interweb for info about when it's safe/sensible* to get back on a bike after Umbilical Hernia surgery and your name came up in an old STW thread about this very subject..... (*delete as applicable) So.....you were back on a b...

...hard bedtimes and wake times. Restricted napping too. This too ^ I was told no napping at all. ...a friend suggested stop trying and failing. Just get out of bed. Sit on a sofa or the floor and listen to a podcast or something chill. Then, if the eyes start drooping, give sleep another go... And...

I've had fairly nasty insomnia since the mid-nineties and a couple of years ago I spent about six months seeing a 'sleep therapist' in order to try and get a handle on things. The order of play for us was... - make sure it's not medical first. - then work on environmental / lifestyle factors. - look...

Peel's son, BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Tom Ravenscroft, remembers the exhausted expert sitting in the family kitchen and offering a verdict: "You do realise this is the best record collection in the world?" It's hard to argue." I used to love listening to John Peel and am sure his record c...

For why?

Nothing good happens after about 19:30, that's a scientific fact. I consider the day won if I'm in bed before the kids are asleep (~20:30) - who says rock and roll is dead???

No booze, meals were good. Still too much snacking on unhealthy crap between meals. No exercise worth noting...

Oh and as we're nearing the end of the month it'll soon be time for me to begin some kind of graphic representation of everyone's progress this far. Not sure what form it'll take yet but I'll try a few things out and present something as aesthetically pleasing as I can. But it'll likely not be until...

Good news: I went on my nano-adventure and it was bloody lovely! A sniff over two days away from home and I managed to squeeze in two five hour drives, two sunny gravel-tastic rides (45km and 91km), two train journeys, two iconic Italian cities visited and two nice sleeps. Bad news: Despite eating s...

Well done mate, right direction :-bd Can you do an adjusted bike trip? Be good to be out.... Yup! I'm off early tomorrow morning now. No work solution presented itself and so I've simply decided to go and not to do the work I've got on until I get back - simples! I just hope that another three or f...

Might not be until Tuesday though as..... I'm going away on the bike!!! :-bd :-bd :-bd Question..... Who's got two thumbs and (due to attempting an early morning pre-departure kitchen and bathroom u-bend clean) is going exactly nowhere today??? https://image.shutterstock.com/image-vector/whos-got-t...

Morning folks, I'm currently not near my scales but I've been behaving and so expecting a little loss or at least no gain when I get back on them later. Might not be until Tuesday though as..... I'm going away on the bike!!! :-bd :-bd :-bd Decided to pour petrol on my tiny stack of brownie points an...

And yeah, lots of loss and youthful optimism at this point - long may it continue.....

I'm breezy, I'll just throw 365 columns onto the spreadsheet and then once a week I'll go through and enter them when they were posted.

Oh. (25-12-21 - 125.1kg) 01-01-22 - 121.2kg 07-01-22 - 122.2kg Target = 95kg (eventually) I seem to have gained a kg. Not surprising as I think the 4kg loss in a week was from not being well etc... Very, very happy with my no booze status (not missing, not thinking about, not tempted etc... feeling ...

Historically Fridays but whenever you can manage if not.

Gairy... what should I put the weights down in pls... kg or lb?? Do I need to add my target weight each time or just the once pls? Thanks so much and can't weight to see the plot :-bd If you want me to collate your numbers and add you to the ongoing chart then I'll need the weights in kgs but by al...

Had an appointment with the surgeon today re: my umbilical hernia operation :-bd Thanks to anti-vaxxers there's loads of slots newly available and so I'm booked in for surgery on the 31st. The down side is that it means the entire of February with zero exercise or work BUT.....on the plus side I'll ...

I'm 94.9kg on 3/1/22

It works just like that.

Each week (or whenever) you post your updated weight and if you fancy posting your target weight then I can plot your progress along with others.

And from there we just chat about all things health/fitness/density etc...

Sorry, I've not got a time machine capable of travelling back to when that archaic system made sense (it never made sense). Totally cool if folks want to do theirs in old money but I certainly don't gots time to convert everything from imperial into meaningful / modern numbers :lol: (Note on tone: I...

I might well run out of time/steam/motivation in the future but at this point I plan to resurrect an old BBFF's tradition and create a monthly graph/chart so that we can all see how we're progressing in lovely, HD, technicolour splendor!
