Good luck to Dr Dragon...I so hope he gets the job.

Likewise! The best is if he does get this one he will be getting back into what he did his Doctorate in so that would be all to the good as well.

Good news on your 101 in 1001 challenge.

Thank you - I guess I am impatient and want to do things NOW!

RE:the exercise I guess it will ache less given time and will probably do you good.
What exercise are you doing?

Um walking , I can't really walk far (due to the chronic pain and being on crutches) but I was having a good day yesterday and walked about twice as far as I normally do .... on a good day! which is about 10 times the amount I can normally manage .... OUCH!

Ouch....obviously I'm not in as much pain as you but can empathise with you as my walking is bad (and I don't have crutches)..it's all catch 22....walking is hard with my back and weight but it's hard to exercise as it's painful to help with the weight loss....mmm..I get so mad with myself sometimes.
Well done, perhaps you need to build up slowly.

i know what you both mean dragon & taxi. a few years ago i sprained my feet dancing and it took 18 mths to stop limping. Unfortuantely i spent that time walking really funny and threw out my hips. It's really not helped by my weight, about the only exercise i can do well is swimming and i just don't want to inflict me in a cossy on anyone. I'll manage to sort sommit out, really must lose 5st this year and i feel i've wasted January already.

Good luck with that LT...it's so hard losing weight.Don't worry about how fat you look as gyms aren't full of fit bodies...

Lemon_Tree

i did got to a gym before, and enjoyed it but it was a ladies only one where lycra was informally banned. I've tried mixed gyms but just spend so much time self concious (sp?) about my size and abilities that i just don't do as well.

taxi73

You'll find your way you want to do it LT....I just bite the bullet and get in the water quick....as I know at the end of the day it'll help me and then I won't be self concious IYSWIM.

Lemon_Tree

i know i should be much braver and be like you. i will get there though

taxi73

LT..I'm not brave hun...i have chats with myself in my head and the fact that I want to lose the weight and to get fit ..I had to tell myself to get out get it done and not to think about what anyone else thinks..IYSWIM...I've been meddling with my head for all my adult life and am sick of feeling like I do...that's all..it'stook me years and years!!!

Dragon sorry for the hijack hun.

Lemon_Tree

yep i'm sorry as well Dragon.
Glad i'm not the only one who as conversations with myself in my head though.

You can hijack to your hearts content! It makes me all warm and snuggly to think that I have a thread worth hijacking! :rotfl::D

I was round at a friends house tonight, she, her partner and Dr Dragon were bottling beer (so Dr Dragon could learn how to do it and borrow some of their kit!) and she showed me how to knit with 5 double pointed needles so my socks are on their way (okay only 5 rows of the cuff of the first one - but you have to start somewhere!)
