The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Phew. It’s roasting out there.

Just the riverside trail. Reasonably busy with dog walkers and a couple of runners and a guy on his unicycle. I’ve seen him before. He is good on it. Wish I had had the phone for a pic.

Bonjour. I weighed myself this morning and am now 13st 2. I was 12st10 before we went to France. When I told my wife, she said I look better for it as I was too skinny apparently before.
Anyway, it is far too windy for a ride today so a bit of DIY is on the agenda instead after walking Molly in Angel Bay in half an hour.
Has @numbnuts completely gone now?

That must have been a good holiday.

I think that all depends on how tall you are! I'm 5'10' ( 178 cm ) and at the moment 11st 7, ( 73kg ) which, for me is overweight. I do feel it too, I would feel better losing a stone in weight.

I'm 5' 6" and 12 stone, well over weight, my fighting weight was around 11 stone and the doctors have always wanted me between 10 stone and 10 stone 7, which is too light, I always looked like a famine victim when I was that light, I'm not doing enough to drop the weight at the moment so I'll have to put with it.
It come up on my Facebook page memories that its now been six years since I had my heart attack.

I'm 6'3" and around 15.1/2 stone, way (weigh) too much. When you look at the useless BMI table, it says I should be from 10st 9 , that's too much. I'm aiming for 14 to 14.1/2 and have been for about the last 5 years

I once got down to 9st 2lb when I was banging the miles in ( running about 100 miles a week in training ) Some of our customers discreetly asked one of my colleagues if I had cancer as I'd lost so much weight in a short space of time. The people in my life who weren't runners thought that I looked ill, the runners that I knew would say " You're looking fit Kev " 😁

I’m struggling to lose anything. Even the amount of exercise I do doesn’t seem to help. I must still be eating too much. I need to give the intermittent fasting another go. That seems to be the one thing that works.

I've got the Michael Moseley " Fast 800 " book sitting on the bookshelf from when Mrs Tenkaykev started her weight loss initiative. I need to be in the right frame of mind to start on a plan or I'll just drift off it. When I had races scheduled it was easier to keep focus.

Even has a massive workshop for your sewing and Brian‘s woodworking. If it was me, I think it might be a home gym.

Just think how many bikes you could get in that workshop . 😀

Or two, possibly three pairs of Welshie's bloomers...

Afternoon all , My birthday present from Mrs exlaser has just arrived , 😀😀 (two weeks late because of post brexit customs problems ) .

Will unpack it after lunch plus I have the front lawn to mow too before the weather turns.
I don’t want to rush these things 😀😀

Ps. Weight wise I am still 13’ 13” so my weight lose program is definitely not working . 😂

I've just wandered down to Tesco and back via Screwfix. It's tropical out there, bright sunshine and about 17 degrees with a gentle breeze. I saw a butterfly, and Mrs Tenkaykev has informed me that she's seen spring flowers coming out! There were quite a few people in T shirts, plus one buxom young lady in a crop top 😎

We still have bees feeding on the flowers. The flowers should of gone by now, and the bees should be hibernating.

Your lucky. Where I live can't even be called a hamlet.

How about a Pentrefyn?
