    A 3 hour detour around Pattaya's Siamburis, Corner shop and Siam Expat will put that right. Probably have Easter eggs in now too and peas are a given. Top up on the best steak and kidney pies at Tinnies too, if its still open.

    Enough talk of food, not long now mate. Keep your chins up.

    2 easy enough options for getting active.

    Either find a park or a gym with aircon and threadmills in Khorat city, and go there for an hour of activity every morning straight after dropping yer kid off while on the way back home.

    I've been trying to get a weightbench and weights.

    Sold out everywhere here due to Covid.

    Those cable things are shite Mendip, you are better off and will see much better gains with free weights.

    Also due to covid here, a decent bike is around 1000 pounds and a Cockapoo will set you back around 3,000. Apparently it was cheaper to fly to Germany and buy one, when that was allowed
    When people statt holidaying again, theres gonna be a load of abandoned dogs I reckon and broken in homes and stolen bikes

    Wonder if Chitty's doing Benidorm this year

    Staycation again this year, Thailand is on the back burner.

    Motorhome is the way forward this year.

    I had to end of to Germany for a new pair of bicycle tyres such is the demand for cycle stuff here.

    My mate shelled out £2.5k for a border Collie pup.
    They were £500 a couple of years ago.

    Luckily I have free weights and a dog already.

    Got my boys into body building now because they were wasting away at home with no exercise.
    They are making terrific gains now even got them on the whey protein.

    Had Mexican for dinner last night Mendip, very nice it was.
    Shalom

    A lean, mean cycling machine

    Is that a dodgy tattoo on your calf or oil of your chain?

    Rode 45km in just under 2hrs this morning, now wrapping up an upperbody home gym sesh. Shure, might have a few cold ones after kicking the ball around the park area this evening.



    Be Ed.

    Damn nice routine.


    BTW that 2018 Das Boot series is worth watching. Almost finished the first of 2 seasons. Give it a go if ya run out of things to watch between the quarantine exercise sessions.
    No one plays football in a park in BKK.

    But in case that sounds like an 'excuse' it isn't... I'll just fit things around my busy daily schedule. This I can do. I'm always active and in the garden doing jobs but that doesn't compensate for some good aerobic exercise and I'm on to that. I'll fir it in every day.

    And bollox to it... I'm getting the gym as well!
    Mendip
    Just to cheer you up a bit I have some news. I had to go to Korat this morning to have my tri-annual medical check up and after I finished that out at SUTH I went into the city centre to go to Siam Pharmacy to get my drugs.

    And guess what the traffic was the absolute quietest I have ever seen in Korat.

    So your trip to school will now probably only take half the time it did so will be able to use all that extra time to shed some kgs.

    As for cutting out the alcohol I actually found that harder to do that stopping smoking but once I did I have not started again whereas with smoking I stopped and started 3 times. So far 38 years no alcohol and 15 years no ciggies but still a fat fukker.
    Mind you when I did drink I was not obese but morbidly obese with a BMI of 37+

    In the end as someone here said yesterday the gym won't do the work you have to.

    So be like Nike and "Just do it"!!!!

    Private village with park area. Far, far away from Bkk. Particularly useful if looking to break an ankle on some tree roots or half buried rocks.

    Shiiit ootai. I'd go back to drinking and enjoy a good cigar. Why punish yourself....?

    ^^^ Thanks Ootai, I'm on to it.

    One thing I have to say... and I just know that this will sound like an excuse... but WTF do guys with young kids find the time to go to a gym?

    Forget the time spent stuck in Korat traffic to get there... and even just from my daughter's school to Save One Nev will take at least 20 minutes in morning rush hour...

    My routine... up at six, leave the house at 6:40am with my coffee to drink in the car. I usually get back around 8am (depending on traffic... and I guess it is quieter now because the government schools are shut) to five howling dogs desperate for their walk, and then when I get back I clean out the chickens. I try and do all this before it gets unbearably hot.

    Maybe about 9:30am is the first time I can sit down and think of all the jobs in the garden I need to get done while i have a bite to eat... before finishing up around 2pm to grab some lunch and a shower in order to do battle with Korat traffic again to pick up the daughter around 4pm. We feed a bunch of street dogs on the way home and I finally sit down about 5:30pm... when as you know there isn't a lot of daylight left. This was when I USED to think about a bottle of Leo.

    I know I need to make time, but it will have to be in the evening. I just don't get spare time in the day, and it's way too hot in Korat for long walks in the heat of the day anyway.

    If we lived on the coast or in the mountains then I'd walk all day... but Korat is as hot as hell and to get anywhere usually means a tortuous journey in gridlocked traffic.

    I'm gonna do it... because one more joke about my chins and I'll start getting pissed off... but it has to be doable. I may even have to resort to a treadmill/swim routine.

    That is the key, you have to want to do it. The only way I was able to change. Sadly I knew Joe/Chitty would not be able to stop drinking. Did not really want to.

    ^^You do four and a half hours worth of 'jobs in the garden' every weekday?

    Good job you've got a gardener.

    ^^ I would say easily... and if not I certainly could.

    The gardener maintains but for any developments I get involved. Unfortunately we built the house in 2007 and it's now gradually falling apart.

    I take the weekends off... it's not pure purgatory.

    One thing that does piss me off about the tropics is the dark evenings... it's finally cool enough to do something but then it gets dark.


    ^ And FFS...
