Sleepless In land

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

Well here it is

going on for 2am and I’ve woken up from a sound sleep after hearing the

loudest of noises from “Out There” I think it was one of the local

hoods, coming home from The Tavern being an ar*****e no doubt when I get up I

will survey any damage that has occurred. I just hope the garbage is not strewn

around the neighbourhood. I did not go out and check........ I’ll wait

till the luxury of daylight to do that.

It’s been

a busy week for me, Wednesday was Elliot, do yourselves a favour go and

see this magnificent show, very gritty and very moving, well worth the money

I’ve

rejoined up at the gym, so a regime of fitness has been factored into my

life..... I am enjoying the time, I am going to attend Monday to Friday, I

start with pool exercises next week, my weights and machine programme has

started of simple and I am building this up, so I feel so much better even in

such a few short days. The stamina I developed 5 years ago when I first went to

the gym, is returning quicker than I thought, I’ve been away from the gym

for 2 years, went for 3, at the end of which I was almost at my goal of 75kg, could

run, could sustain 12 or more kilometre walks, but shiftwork got in the

way....... Silly Me........... for allowing it too.

City To Surf

2008

The date

according to the website is Sunday 10th August 2008 so is anyone

interested in joining me for this, you will have to start training for this

pretty soon, mine has begun....... A Bandsters team from Syd and Central Coast

Bandsters might be a good idea....... As more information comes I’ll put

this data onto the sites and create a poll........ I for one would like a memento

that I did it..... just before my 55th birthday

Yesterday I

took delivery of my new car, a Toyota Yaris, and I must say, in comparison to

my old Daihatsu Sirion, it is luxury car material, and a zippy little number, if

I don’t get a speeding ticket in the next few days a miracle will have

occurred, it has take off the old sirion never dreamed of having lol.....

I rejoined Weight

Watchers last night, and I must say, given the fun I’ve had this last few

months, I was pretty impressed, that it was not a great deal more, I have 17kg

till goal weight, so the weighing in each week will keep me honest, and WW is

all about eating sensibly, and after seeing that guy last weekend, the one who

had the lap band done in Melbourne, the one who said he had his surgeons blessing,

to live his life on Chocolate Biscuits, Pods and Rice Balls.......... So as a

result I must thank him, for I had to be truthful to myself, and start

being accountable...... I did not go through surgery years ago just to get fat

again.

I’ll be

away the next couple of nights, we are hoping to get to the beach sometime over

the weekend, now that my sunburn has gone, mind you the peeling is still

rampant, and very itchy, well I am hoping to get some more sleep before morning

arrives, but I will be at the gym at 9am regardless, it is a wonderful time to

go, I virtually have the place and all the equipment to myself.

Welcome to any

new comers, I get behind now a days, retirement didn’t give me more time,

just a busier lifestyle lol..... But the hours of 9am till 11am Monday to

Friday have been factored into my life now as Gym Time........ I’ll give

you all a progress report in a few weeks,

Cheers

Rob
