good wrok Coastie - keep on with that Rowing, it only gets easier, so you row harder, and then next minute you end up flying along!<br />
<br />
website : [url="http://www.concept2.com"]www.concept2.com[/url]<br />
<br />
You can register and record your rowing times / distances.  Then can compare with others in NZ, or world, or wherever.  Great way to keep you rowing, and when you see yourslef on the list, and you are just 3 seconds away from climbing one spot, gives you good incentive to stick with it!!

[Coastie]

Cheers, BartMan. I am getting addicted to it and once I get a few more metres under the belt will start rowing for longer periods. Great exercise and I did log onto Concept2 website to keep my own times, etc. There's only one rower at the gym so I try to go for lunch at 2pm when no one else is there.

That's alright Coastie. The beauty about falling off the horse is you can get straight back on the bastard.

[Coastie]

Finally an elusive smidgeon of weight has fallen off. Weight this morning 86.5kgs  , which is really quite farcical as I spent the whole weekend drinking beer. <br />
<br />
Apparently this avatar has attracted a bet that it was Britney Spears or not. I have no idea who it is but I'm quite sure it's not her.<br />

I was gonna warn you chaps about being off topic, but then I remembered Uncle Miller is the moderator, so in future please keep these types of gratuitous shots confined to teddy bears.

[dogmeat]

Finally a decent sized image.  I've been yearning for that since you 1st changed your avatar Coastie. Nervous frustration has probably burned off more calories than anything else I've done...<br />
<br />
Not Britney IMO - Nowhere near skanky enough

[Coastie]

Yeah a couple of PM's highlighted that there was further interest Dogmeat.  :whistle: Oh, back on topic.
