Revisiting My Childhood

[Rat Catcher]

I well believe it. As noted I was pleasantly surprised with NSC pool. Don't think I woulda gone in if I spotted any clapped out Hiace vans in the carpark. I was a competent swimmer myself many years ago, got the life saving badge among others, just around the corner from CRC in St. Pauls. Similarly, ifn you saw me swim now you wouldn't believe that!

Reminds me of an episode of steptoe and son I seen.Albert is in the shower,and he has the dishes in there with him,cause he doesn't want to waste the hot water

Well your back now rat,you won't be long getting back your Fitness

[Rat Catcher]

I'm pretty determined to keep at it, doing my bit of exercise every day and watching the calories, still under 17 stone even after the holiday excesses so I reckon I'll hit my target of 15 stone by Christmas.

Should get yourself one of those fatbits. New one on the market, waterproof etc. Handy for keeping track of your exercise, records all exercise types automatically and tracks your heart rate, sleep quality .. even clocks up steps when youre driving or pedaling as I recently found out. Might even let ya know how bollixed your heart is if you study it enough.

Mrs. Catcher has one of those... it's not getting much by way of results but she was able to tell me we walked 6.67 miles on Sunday. I did have an app on my phone that counted steps and such like but it bored me... I did notice it clocking up steps while driving, too. I guess there's some data I can do without. My faulty glow plug on number 4 cylinder still annoys me, wouldn't have any idea that it's faulty without the OBDEleven (VAG specific) scanner I use, it doesn't show up with generic scanners.

I used to use the Myfitness Pal app synced to the Fatbit. Worked well to lose the weight but at the end of the day you have to get stuck in and take responsibility for your own gluttony. Some people want to lose a stone a week, 1 or 2 pound is a healthy rate pw tbh. The key is to try make all your own grub so you know what youre ating when youre using those apps.

If you want to get into good shape and feel good it's fairly easy, just cut out most carbs, eat more meat and animal fats and cut out 90% of all sugar. Within a couple of months you'll drop a load of weight, all sugar converts into fat in the body, all carbs convert into glucose/sugar which also converts into fat.

The whole fat causes heart disease thing has been proven to be a myth, eat mostly animal fats and meat with leafy veggies with a small amount of carbs and train a bit and you'll be ripped in no time.

An activity more married than single men do every day.
