The 'I need a distraction' thread.

Hey aubergine. *waves*

[Cacoethes]

Always annoying when you forget something at the shops!
I'm going to an exercise class at 7pm. It's group cycle at the gym.

It has brightened up now!

[Aubergine]

*waves back * :)


I'm sleepy. Too late on in the day for another nap though.

[Sketchy]

Yeh it's brightening up here too.

That's good you are going to another class. You are doing really well in trying new groups, because I know how nerve wracking it can be.

[Aubergine]

Group cycle sounds fun. Spin kills me.

[chinahorse]

Spin sounds like tortue from what I've heard of it.

[Aubergine]

It pretty much is torture. I've tried a few classes and I felt like I was dying every time.

[Sketchy]

I need to get my bike fixed so I can go back out on it. Kind of lost my confidence though and motivation. Maybe I'll stick with going for walks for just now.

[Cacoethes]

Thanks Lorraine :)

It's for 45 mins so I'm probably gonna die tbh! :p

[Sketchy]

It might be fun though. I need to get more exercise. I'm eating healthier, but I don't think it's enough. Worried my medication is making it hard to lose weight too. But I'm determined to try, even if it's just to make me feel healthier.

[Cacoethes]

Medication can be a big factor with weight.
I know one of my meds in particular are notorious for weight gain. It's still possible to lose though!

[Aubergine]

That's a great attitude, Lorraine. Being healthy is the most important thing.


I love cycling to places. My dad had to fix my bike though because it broke just as I was about to cycle home. I only got to the end of his road and the inner tube got shredded and somehow wrapped itself around the rear brake!

[Sketchy]

It's so frustrating. I'm on risperidone. I know I need to keep taking it though.

It's much lighter later now, which is good. I think the clocks go forward soon.

[Aubergine]

It is frustrating. I struggle with my weight too. *hug*


I like the lighter evenings.

[Sketchy]

Have you got your bike fixed? Nearly two years ago I was really into my cycling. I wish I could get that energy again. It didn't last long.

[Cacoethes]

That's annoying aubergine! Is it fixed now?

It is frustrating but it is possible! Just probably a bit harder for us than it is for people with no meds.

I'm surprised at how light it is now!

[Aubergine]

Dad fixed it. He's a good egg.


Perhaps you could start off small, Lorraine? Walking is good too though.

[Sketchy]

I should now it's getting lighter. Starting small sounds a good plan.

I'm glad it's getting lighter. I really should go to the shops.

[Cacoethes]

That's good aubergine! Parents are great for things like that!

Walking is good exercise Lorraine!

[Aubergine]

What are you going to buy? It might be good to get out for a bit.
