While still in the throes of pro-activity and MUST GET FIT yesterday, I managed to get to makro on the way home and purchase an exercise bike! All they had left were ex display models which were already assembled, which meant it was quite a feat getting the thing into the car, then out of the car and into the house. But it was achieved, for i was Determined.
Giving a brief try just proved how unfit I have become.

Also, ankle was achy, not just due to shopping and shifting of bike, but also because had to stop suddenly at one point on the way home, and left foot automatically went into Emergency Stop Mode and tried to stamp down on a non-existant clutch. That was Not Fun.
Of course, the guy I had to stop for had no way of knowing I wasn't screaming *at* him, just... screaming, but then maybe he won't get in my way next time!

But I have Excercise Equipment now, so all I need is the willpower to keep using it! I'm sure there's some around the house somewhere. Possibly near the scales in the bathroom ;p

Oh. And work have blocked Facebook. WAILY etc. On the plus side, I finally know what it's for! According to the big BANNED SITE page, it is classified as 'personals and dating'. I think I've been missing something there ;p

Go you!

And meh to FB. My office mate uses it to flirt all the time - the apps turn it into a very easy way of doing so, if you are the sort of person who likes voting on whether random people are 'interesting' or not.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't really see the point in that. What I've found it most handy for is finding people from DW who'd wandered off and I'd lost track of. Even DRAKKOS is on there, which was a moment of joy!

I was on facebook! Tomtom friended me!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

OMG! All the cool kids are there nowadays ;p

Btw you in uni friday afternoon or free for some form of (slow) pottering about london til the rest of the suckers non-students escape work?

[malvino.livejournal.com]

Not sure, one of my lecturers was on research leave last term, apparently he's back now so we're getting him this term instead of the guy that covered him, starting (I'm fairly sure) on thursday, when I have a paper to be in anyhow. He may want to use the friday evening slot as well to catchup a bit, seeing as how we're in week 3 already, or maybe not, I'll find out tomorrow.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

No worries, I'm sure I can find something to amuse myself with if you're busy (or just sleep in a nice hotel bed all afternoon ;p).
Check if you're free thursday night too!

yay for excersie machinery. Put it in front of the TV, and if there's anything of a half hour nature that you watch daily that's the time to use it.

[hellison.livejournal.com]

That's pretty much what I have done ;) Current plan is to do a bit when i get home, then again later/before bed (possibly when you go off to do your thing actually. Then if I can blame you if I don't do it ;p) and gradually build up the time.

hoff? but no! this is the year of the nun for hellison.

Sister Hollisen hitched up her habit and settled herself gingerly upon the saddle of this new adddition to the convent gym equipment. She had never seen an exercise bike quite like it in all her years of nunning. Surely the saddle was unusually knobbly, she thought. But what Mother Superior ordered, Hollisen would do, and her instruction for the day had been to assemble the exercise bike and test it out.

"Be sure and have a good, hard ride, Sister," she had said, before turning back to her knitting. And a good nun is an obedient nun. Nonetheless, she winced a little as the nodules nudged her nethers.

TO BE CONT...

[adelpha.livejournal.com]

I'm sure someone on my f-list posted about that type of bike seat...

[shambelina.livejournal.com]

Ouchy to foot!

Good on ya for the exercise bike - I have a rowing machine - it comes in handy usually especially since I hate GYMS

ION I sent you a message on FB because I thought you'd get it - bugger!

[hellison.livejournal.com]

Ouchy indeed! I'd never bother going to the gym, especially since atm, i think about 10/15 minutes in one go is about my limit! So i shall watch telly and do it short bursts ;p

meh facebook. Will text you work email!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_unhurt_/]

oh, exercise bike, huh? perhaps one day this will lead you to the movable kind of bike?

am still looking for a victim a volunteer to cycle across canada with me in 2009, you know...

[hellison.livejournal.com]

I dunno about that, i was never good on real bikes, I just keeled over sideways a lot ;p

On a horse now, that could be interesting!
