Morning Travellers

What a crazy night we had in Hong Kong! We did Wogan proud with our numerous renditions of the Floral Dance. Far too many vodka jellies were consumed! :D :D

Thank goodness we are staying in the Mira hotel. You'll find me in the jacuzzi after I've had the sumptuous breakfast buffet. We are near Nathan Road, full of electronics shops. I think I might treat myself to Apple Watch and get Moreless a Fitbit!

The steamer won't be leaving until 8pm this evening. Enjoy everything Hong Kong has to offer.

Happy Travels 😊😊😊

Good morning.

5.1km for me so far today - I have the week off work so hoping to do a bit better than normal :)

May even pop out again this pm.

Ooh, that's very progressive of you qd, but there's no point coming to me for technical guidance, it would be like the blind leading the blind! :D

Great K's :)

Hi Queenie. I'd advise researching online first and then try to pick something up from Argos. If you go to PC World they'll blind you with science and try to convince you you need allsorts that you don't.

Make sure you steer clear of the mini laptops as they are very slow. About £300 should get you a reasonable one.

queenie-duke profile image
queenie-duke in reply tosueper

Thanks Sueper, I'm in Australia so we don't have Argos but yes I do need to research online and determine my requirements. I want it for travelling because I don't have a modern mobile and when we're away from home I can't access all the info I need. I've seen some here for about $400 which I reckon is a good price...Maybe I'd better just start somewhere, I don't mind appearing thick where technolology is concerned (can't help it, I am!) and the staff are usually very helpful with us old dears :)

sueper profile image
sueper in reply toqueenie-duke

Just making clear you're doing some research and not buying at first and hopefully they won't try to pressure you into buying stuff you don't need. It seems in the UK they are determined to push all sorts of things on you that you don't need.

Enjoy your retail therapy :)

Great progress everyone, keep up belting out those Kms!

Today is a rest day (or "active recovery" in gym speak), so I just did short stints on the treadmill, cross-trainer and bike, not going to attempt a walk outside as Hurricane Harold is a bit too blowy for me.

My Kms for today are 8.61

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply toLessToLose

We're trying LtL! :)

I shall have to remember that phrase on days that I just want to slob out. I'm in "active recovery", or are there inactive recovery days? :D

Great number! :)

Another 2.1km for me (walking off the holiday fry up!). That will be it for today though - I am off to sort out my natural highlights with the help of Schwarzkopf!

Woohoo! That's super Sueper ;)

Pity Schwarzkopf haven't got something to bring out my natural slimness :D

Total = 17.5 kms.

Wishing everyone a great day! Loving this Adventure! :-)

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply toScoobaSteve

Well done Steve! :)

Evening all :-) Hong Kong is lovely and I have stocked up on a range of holiday purchases - hopefully my luggage won't weigh down the rest of the trip !!

My totals for today are 7.4k run and 5.2k walk = 12.6k total.

It strikes me that we might be needing some extra kms for this trip, so Mr Lucca has kindly offered to donate his kms to the trip as well, if you'd like them ? He is nursing a calf strain so has decided to 'keep me company' on some of my runs when he can as I run slow enough for him to recover from his injury - cheeky git...

Anyway, he has done the same as me for today, if you'd like to set him up a line on your spreadsheet :-)

in reply to

p.s. don't mention Ricky to him... ;-)

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to

Woohoo! Team Lucca! WTG! :D

I think Mr L has to join the site, as have the other others, but I'll check that with Lizzy :)

8,944 steps so far today - it's amazing what you do whilst at work! I'm loving the fitbit dashboard and have spent the day checking against my uber fit male colleague (who has an extremely expensive watch that does everything but make tea) and I beat him with number of steps! He's gutted - hahaha.

Happy Monday everyone!

My Km's look like this:

1km warm up on the cross stepper.

20km in a 30 min spin class.

Also lost 4.4lbs last week! That's pretty much 2 1/2 stone since August. Happy days!

Woohoo Geza, life's looking pretty rosy for you at the mo :)

Great K's, but I have a feeling you have some missing for last week :)

in reply tomoreless

I didn't do anything on Thursday and Sunday. Apart from that I think I put al my other k's down.

That's great, it was sunday's we needed :)

in reply tomoreless

Cool. Sorry, was a rest day for me, which means doing sweet FA!

moreless profile image
morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply to

I could do with one of those days! :D

in reply tomoreless

Ideally I'd like 365 of them in a row! Still, generally keep Thursday and Sunday as my rest days. So if I haven't posted anything on those days it's for that reason.

hahaha great idea! :)

That's good to know, thanks :)

Hi everyone,

I can't remember if I posted Saturday & Sunday (brain fog) but done 2.1km sat and 2.7km Sunday.

Today (mon 1st) 9.1km think being blown round the park helped. Luckily we didn't fall in the pond, lol

Well done Ruth and that was a fantastic number today, despite the gale! :)

Sorry I have missed some days, on my way to Austria tomorrow !!!

Friday was 3.82 km

I will try to keep up to date and my aim is still to walk MORE!

Do you live in a mansion Elissy??!! :) Are you improving at all?

Hahaha, wishful thinking 😁

No, it's an old house, and the hall is long with a galley kitchen at the end. Between that and going upstairs I can clock up a good distance 😉

Feeling better but still no energy and an awful cough. But on the way to getting there 😊 thank you for asking 😊

Hi Moreless, yes feeling a lot better thanks, but the virus has really sapped my energy and I'm having to build up slowly, this seems to be the case for all my friends who have had it as well its a nasty one !!

It's exactly the same symptoms that the other travellers are experiencing! It seems to be a particularly nasty bug! :(

Hi and good evening :-) it's nice to be able to relax at this time of the evening which I am enjoying more and more. I need to make sure I continue this trend :-) I like the sound of soaking in a nice hot jacuzzi, I would like a nice glass of Merlot and lot's of bubbles :-)

Today has been another busy one and I found time to run 9 kms and walk 6.2 kms plus I have done 30 mins of weights and strength training today. It's been hectic to say the least as part of my workout today was done in the kitchen whilst preparing dinner LOL jumping jacks, lunges, press-ups all whilst waiting for the rice to cook and the chilli to simmer, well the way I see it is there's no point standing around when you can be active whilst doing the dinner.

Enjoy your travels everyone I know I am :-)

morelessAdministrator7 stone in reply totrafford1

You never cease to amaze me T1 :)

in reply totrafford1

Wow jumping jacks while the chilli was simmering. Your kitchen must be bigger than mine!

trafford1 profile image
trafford1 in reply to

It is a good size and it's a good length for doing lunges too :-) I really enjoyed the workout whilst cooking the dinner today :-)

I have 3 dogged ks to report - ran this morning before work. But it's blowing a gale out there and I'm feeling run down again this eve, catching an early night right now. If I miraculously wake up feeling well again I might brave the winds on my bike, but feeling a bit sorry for myself at the moment! Maybe a warming jacuzzi and warm Hong Kong hospitality would fix me. I can dream...

If you're not feeling well, you shouldn't be pushing yourself, your health is much more important.

Evening all. A cold and soaking 10.1 kms for me today. Got absolutely drenched this morning, then the rain went off so I thought I'd walk on as I was soaked anyway. The dog was having none of it! So, although I managed my goal of 10k I had hoped for a bit more.

On the plus side, the other half has stuck to his healthy eating well today....and not one single moan! Happy days 😉

Hi all, I think I forgot to post Sunday's Kms too, going back to work hit me harder than I thought 😄

Sunday = 6.4

Monday = 6.1

My plantar fasciitis has flared up again, probably in shock from going from a hot tub back to the couch to 5k program, lol. So I suspect I won't be doing as many Kms as I would like over the next few days waiting for that to calm down a bit.
