Derek Dangleberries Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I've just done a few 50m shuttle runs doing the Farmer's Lift exercise - Well, that's what a gym monkey would say.. ...But, In reality I've been filling up a few gallon containers of drinking water from the machine up the road... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Just got home from my walk, back on track.Don’t have the “Keto flu” this time around, but noticed my blood pressure was noticeably elevated, which I don’t like seeing. Apparently the kidneys work harder due to losing water weight from lack of carbs or some shite….Not giving up,but I’ll re-evaluate Saturday morning, still happy about how far I’ve come & it’s unhealthy to do anything extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One sees so many of those machine scattered around town, that i find it very odd that one very rarely sees any bugger doing the routine maintenance on the said machines !! Unless the filters elements inside are changed at the required intervals and with some machines the UV lamp also changed, then the water dispensed could be little better then direct from your own tap at home....... I must add that i have actually witnessed the odd machine being serviced, but it's been a very rare and as such a noticeable event !!! I hope your lucky Mr. Dangle,,,,,,,, Edited November 26, 2022 by SteveBC 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) I also thought I’d share something I saw on Facebook, gave me a good laugh. I was a late bloomer with the ladies, but did OK at 19-20 once I started partying off-campus & going where the French girls were…..was like shooting fish in a barrel some nights, even for an inexperienced guy like me! So I just thought I’d look up one of my earliest GF, didn’t last long but she broke my heart. Found her FB profile, I’m 46 & she was couple years younger, so say 44 now. Still living in same white trash town as 1997, and get this……Four kids & twice a grandmother already! Let’s just say the heartbreak subsided long ago…she didn’t age too well either Edited November 26, 2022 by Golfingboy 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although there’s no substitute for good old-fashioned hard work, I watch many videos/articles looking for tips to make my weight loss/eventually muscle gains easier. Farmer’s walks, I learned few weeks ago, are not only very effective, but because it’s a whole body exercise, they can be performed daily. Not like killing your pecs bench pressing and you feel it for 5 days….. Good luck with that Derek….. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well now, Here's a thing! I think that 6 litre bottles of water in 7/11 are over 40 Baht, but cost isn't the reason that I don't buy them...Oh No Sir...No Siree!! The difference is that their handles are fixed, whereas Lotus'sss rotate through 360 Deg. This means that when I swill them with hot water from the kettle to sterilize them for homebrew I can spin, twist and swish all in one easy movement!!!!!

boydeste Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 All showered up after a bit of horizontal dancing, wondering where the night will take me. It's Saturday night and judging how many people were out and about this afternoon, it's going to be a busy one. May start off in Thermae, then do either Cowboy or Nana. Maybe both. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maipenrai Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I had a flu shot yesterday and am feeling some effects today, on top of the beer I swilled afterwards; my house sitter is coming over this afternoon and we'll clean the chimney and fire up the woodstove together - it's supposed to turn colder tonight so I'll just keep the stove burning now until he moves in next Friday after dropping me at the airport... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been retired from full-time employment for 12 years! This time I am starting with a 60 day visa which I will extend by 30 days, and then I'll decide from there whether I stay longer or not; my last trip, which ended up running into Covid, was five months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
