Hi All you all seem to be doing well, I had upped my walking after my pacemaker implant but developed tendonitis, so that has had to go for a bit. Had a week with the grandchildren lot of fun but too much to eat along with some Baklava, so good but calorie count is through the roof. but only 2kg up so back on it today. As…

Todays light day was much better. Monday night was just a light soup and this may have sabotaged the tue light day. Wed night was a good meal and today was good. Supplements I take fish oil, Glucosomine, and B vits. Todays weights were hard but I do need to get up to target. Weight is up but I am growing muscle, and the…

Good Morning yesterdays fast day went very wrong so it will not be mentioned again. I started back on the weights on Monday almost 8 weeks post pace maker insertion, you are meant to be very careful for six weeks, and it went well, but I was sore yesterday and even sorer today. I have 2 routines that I alternate, then take…

I am just checking in. I am 4 weeks after my pacemaker implant and had my first tune up on Monday all was looking good and I am now allowed to get back to light weights. And gentle routines. I paced at 20% in the top chamber and less than 1% in the bottom. Fasted yesterday and it went well with only a few almonds to get me…

I have not checked in for a while so here we are. I am now 3 weeks post Pacemaker implant and it seems to be settling down well. I am walking most days and have tried a static bike twice the first time was fairly uncomfortable with my heart rate being all over the place. Yesterday it was a bit more disciplined and did what…

I never eat back my exercise calories as I take it as a bonus loss. The calorie calculators are so variable that their values are suspect. But do what suites you.

Four days since I went Bionic. The second day I went for a short walk and my wife said that I was a bit grey so we turned for home. The third day I had a 6km walk and needed a bit of a sit down about 3/4 of the way round. This morning I was 10 mins quicker and did not need the sit down. so an improvement. I can now climb…

Enforced fast day today as I had my pacemaker fitted. Feeling a bit rough at the moment will post more soon.

The water weight is also true for cycling, back a bit when I was putting in 100+milers I could be up a couple of kg's for the next couple of days and my thighs could be an inch bigger in circumference.

My dirty fix is to log a day as it happens, then quick add calories to just under the remainder, then complete the day, then remove the quick add calories, it keeps the totals correct.

Thanks Flossy, at first I was very apprehensive, not about the insertion, but the effects, but doing a bit of reading, has allied some of the fears, and it can always be reprogrammed to suite my needs, I think. Fast day turned into a light day, but there is always Thursday. The exercise routines are now beginning to bed…

100 mile bike rides are horrendously addictive. I have been addicted for about 17 years, and then to have to quite cold turkey is no fun at all. I have also ditched the fitbit, I have had several and all of them come up with connection problems, or charging issues. I am trying one from Garmin. it is not the latest offering…

I really need to get back to this. Some of you may remember the bloke who cycled long distances. He got Atrial Flutter and has had 2 cardioversion's. I am now up to have a pacemaker fitted in three weeks time. It is 30 months since I have done a decent bike ride, the drugs I am on have limited my efforts in this field.…

Fd has gone fairly well so far but I am out for a meal with 9 friends, so it is going to go square shaped soon. I will try to keep it in check, but it is a restaurant that I love as you never know what will be on the menu. The Chef goes to the market first thing and gets what is best on the day, That is what he serves. It…

@KateNkognito The fd today was not at all bad. I had some almonds midday along with a glass of Almond milk. I have heard of it before but never considered it. I worked better than straight milk as it seems to have a bit more substance, so I was not as empty as I may have been. The rest of the day has been spent writing my…

After a few weeks with grandchildren and holiday I am now on a 4:3 regime Mon, Wed, and Friday fasting so fasting tomorrow. As I am now trying to undo the damage done. but we have to live life.

Happy Birthday Flumi enjoy it. I will be back on the programme soon. just need to get my head in order.

I managed to work up to a 60 mile / 100km bike ride fasted, the pace was slower, but it was ok, you do need to work up to it though, took me about 4 - 5 months to get there.

I am away for this week with no internet access at all so weaning myself away from gadgets. I will try to be good but I do not see any fast days this week. stay good all.

I was having a good FD when a customer brought in a pack of Digestive Nibbles, Still I ended up at 900 cals so not too bad. I will do some spinning tomorrow to make up. Have a good WE all

One good way to get your children (future drivers) to notice cyclists is to get them to count them when on a long journey. does also help the parents become more observant.

I was and hope to be a cyclist again as it is very good for my health. But every time I go out I see several people on mobiles or texting, There was even a woman who had a cradle for her mobile that held it in her hand so she could drive with the one hand and text with the other. It was scary and I just pulled over and let…

It was good but very rich, neither of us could sleep after it indigestion????? Fast day today, I just could not be bothered with the spinning this morning, Later I went out on my proper bike, and now feel much better and inspired. It was only 10 miles, but it is a start. onward and upward now. I use vanilla chai to keep me…

Usually Fast on Tue, but Valantine's day means beef wellington and all the trimmings, tonight so next fast will be Thursday. PS I am cooking.

There is at least one Lad on here. :D

Good Fd for me today until the chocolate in the cupboard started screeching at me this evening. oops. But it will not be there on Thursday.

Welcome back.

Welcome Just find a protocol that works for you, we are all different.

Oh and Happy Birthday

Right here. in my dreams
