    Middle-aged spread....

    Been to the gym every day since I got back from Canada. 5 miles on the treadmill, I can feel my cardio getting back to normal. Sweating buckets while doing it though. Starting on the weights next week. Christmas is coming, good food and, for some, alcohol. What's your fitness regime if you have one?



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Not quite what I had in mind Fred. There's a German guy lives near you, he is a paramotor enthusiast. Do you ever see him flying around?

    Ive seen a few of those things go overhead in the past and also a flying boat! WTF.
    In regards weight loss,I did a 7 day water fast about 2 months ago..Next year I`ll do a 14 day fast and eventually a 21 day fast.. Amazing experience and funny thing is after 3 days there is no hunger because the body is eating excess fat reserves.

    The flying boat might actually have been him in a microlight boat. I have spoken to a few people including a strictly religious guy who fasted for three weeks to be closer to God? I sometimes fast for a day. We are programmed to have three meals a day. If I am not hungry I don't eat, most people eat because they are conditioned to at set times.

    That's just a flex wing with a dingy instead of wheels. That would be your ultimate island hopping vehicle in Pinas. There's an Italian firm makes one model, they are easy to fly, you should get one, you get thrown all over in turbulence though.

    There's a sky-diving business just started on Siquijor. I think it might be the guy that did jumps for a few months every year on Cebu? I've been told the price was 19,000 pesos without video, but don't know how true that is on the price

    Fasting diets are silly. Your body just gets all confused. Just adjust your diet bit by bit and do more exercise (sometimes hard in a hot and humid climate I know). Most of us could do with cutting carbs more than anything (rice, bread, pasta ... and .... beer). Don't get too carried away though, you might get run over by a jeepney tomorrow.

    (I go to the gym regularly and keep reasonably fit, I want to stay fit to stay mobile for longer in my life, I'm not quite 50 yet though).

    I have been living in a hotel since December, and I have a good breakfast, cornflakes, a couple of croissants and some orange juice. But in the evening, even though there are many many small Chinese cafes or small restaurants, it is quite often difficult to find something that is actually nice to eat. I tend to rotate between Dumplings, KFC, noodles or pizza. Would be nice if the hotel gave longer staying customers at least a microwave so I could at least warm something up.

    As a result I have gained a few more pounds which I am not so pleased about, but when I get back home and swimming and running around after the children I should lose it again.

    I am slim anyway, but during my trips to the Phils, regardless of how much and what I eat, I always LOSE weight...ending up looking skinny, which I hate.

    I suppose it's the way we're made.

    I always lose weight in the PI. I am in Bangkok at the moment. Here, I always gain weight

I am fit and I am from the persons who don't gain weight naturally, you know skinny a bit and fit. But once again love they way you draw your words about women's real beauty.
