Losing weight/fitness thread

[Orikoru]

It is hard enough to convince a lot a people that a round of golf is exercise, you have no chance in trying to get the range classed as (meaningful) exercise

I don't mean to suggest either would be high, just that driving range has to be higher than mini-golf. In one you are swinging a club athletically, the other is tantamount to just walking about very slowly.

Just weighed myself for the first time in a good few days - down 6lbs since properly starting back on better eating and exercise last monday.

Pretty chuffed with that!

Great start that.

Cheers. Would like to get a few more down before last weekend of the month so I can fit into the suit a bit more comfortably for my best mate's wedding haha, but if I carry on and manage to be nearly a stone down that would be a result. Then project Lanzarote can start. Can't have my brother in law looking better in budgie smugglers than me.

7.5 miles after work, got splashed by a car during the first mile, and it chucked it down for the last 3 miles.
Set myself a challenge of losing another 16lb by the time we go to New York in July.

If that’s how you play mini golf you need to get more emotionally involved with it

Dragged myself out for 1500m in the pool tonight. Feel better for it as well.

Could have used Michael Phelps as an example too, but isn't he a questionable character also?

Which half is it you're doing mate?

Durham, I believe it’s a “lapped” event, each lap being 7K’s, so you can do as many as you want up to full marathon, it also offers a 5 & 10k routes.

Not done this type of event before so looking forward to it.

They are a really friendly bunch, think it's a bit hilly. If you take a plastic cup, they have a holder which you can leave it in and top up at the end of your laps.
Also pretzels, crisps, sweets etc on the aid table.

Be interested to hear your thoughts

The website says flat along the riverbank, a good course for people looking for a fast time.
