We can motivate each other. I've realised recently that it's not necessary to try to reach twenty thousand steps a day. Someone in the health industry advised that I could cut down to ten, or even somewhere between five-ten, and still have the same or better results, as long as I add some resistance training in somewhere. So I've been doing about 7000 on a walk, plus half an hour on the exercise bike, two reps of weights, and some faffing around with a resistance band. It's a LOT easier than one 15-20 thousand step walk, especially in the cold weather.
Do you have a resistance band Trala? Mine's just a big blue piece of flubber, but I hook it around something even while watching tv, to give my arms or legs a mild workout. I have lower back pain and it helps with that too.

Yay!

I am going to find the Fitbit Thread and share my plan!

I haven't weighed myself yet. Tbh I am nervous at the prospect :(

While I don't have a resistance band, I have hand weights, a yoga/bodybalance area and a bike.

I only ever aimed for 10 000 steps, usually when working I get to 15k. But lately I think I would be flat out doing 5k.

Send me your email and I will add you to my Fitbit. Xo
 
Good Moanin OT thread!

Well that rain tested us yesterday! My partner was madly letting water out of the pool at 6pm last night due to it lapping onto the deck! I think it is safe to say we lost all our grass seed. Thankfully we only lost a corner of our newly laid mulch. On the upside, our newly planted plants got a good water.

My partner went back to work today. Me on the other hand, I still have 2 delicious weeks off.

We really did! It rained solidly all day. No real damage outside a bit of mulch loss. Mooloolaba looks like a war zone. Looks like it hit Goonawarra Dr.

The Queen ate a piece of buttered toast. Watching a display of fireworks and trying to remember where she had last put her watch.

Sorry noob

Mooloolaba is my favourite place to have coffee, and Goonawarra is a back street. It should be on your news tonight. There was crazy damage.

I am actually playing down the destruction here. We lost at least a half a wheel barrow of mulch. At least $6 worth. Maybe you guys could create a Go Fund Me page?

Haha I can't even eat sunny side up.

Well cooked eggs for me :) unless they are raw and blended into a smoothie.

Also @crimmy is that a stone done pan? Worth it?

I'd never heard of them so wasn't sure what Bleachy was meaning by stonedone ... it really annoys me though when I google them and info page comes up but no price anywhere (except for the RRP of the one pan they'll give you if you order a set of 8 !) Makes me think back to the encyclopedia person we couldn't get rid off - who'd conned their way into our lives in the first place with talk of how we would like to get involved with our local community ... then it turns out she's just trying to sell us encyclopedias!! We got really blunt with the NO NO NO NO NOT INTERESTED NO ... when she finally DID get the message she couldn't leave fast enough and when we asked "So how much do they cost anyway!" she started running!!! grrrrrrr

from stonedine website

Can I put the cookware in the oven?
Yes, up to 180ºC/356ºF, but only for short periods [for example, to “finish off” a frittata under the grill]. Make sure handles are covered with tinfoil, shiny side out.
 
I always wonder which pans I could buy to be able to put them in the oven ... but most you'd be pushing to fit them in with handles anyway ... there used to be some that had removable handles ... but I don't think they were non-stick ones ...
