Re: Things that you rate!
Anyone use the "waze" app?
Bloody handy, daughter heard on her way out the house that there's an accidient in Wingfield so rang me to see if I knew where as she has multiple options to get to work.
Worked out within a minute that there is actually two collisions in the Wingfield/Dry Creek area, she can now travel to work with relative ease by choosing a alternative route.

I normally just do a quick google maps view and it will show me the quickest route if there are traffic issuesLightning McQueen wrote:Anyone use the "waze" app?

On LM's advice Ive been using it while travelling around the city over the last week, seems really good, still need to get a deeper understanding of its features though.

Re: Things that you rate!
Same, I think it offers a lot more than what i use it for, a good sit and study on the tot should get me a bit more knowlegeable. I like the way it highlights the whole affected stretch of road when it's closed or has speed restrictions.Dutchy wrote:On LM's advice Ive been using it while travelling around the city over the last week, seems really good, still need to get a deeper understanding of its features though.

Re: Things that you rate!
Was having trouble with my weight when I was with my GF, I like to imtermittent fast and she prepared heavy dishes in the evening and we dined a fair bit.
I got back from Bali pretty annoyed with myself as I hit 96kg and knew it was gonna be a struggle to reel it back in, my first goal was to get under 90.
Although I've been a bit crook for 3 weeks now so it's hindered going to the gym or getting up at 4:30am to go for a run/walk I've managed to be pretty stringent with my eating and drinking, not great but reasonably good (it makes it hard when I crank the smoker ever Sunday).
Clocked in at 90.1 this morning, gives me great incentive heading into the weekend, if I drink beer and eat crap then I have more work to do, if I exercise, limit myself to a few gins with soda water and sugar free mixers I should be well on my way to my next goal.

People.
People, who listen and care.
People who understand, don’t ridicule, and help you find solutions.
Struggling through a couple of “black dog” days. Been in some dark places. Scary dark.
Our HR guy is fantastic. My employer gets it, they want to retain staff.
There is hope. There is light.

Re: Things that you rate!
Continuing to trend in the right direction, down to 89 now without making too much effort, still need to stop eating the cheese slices straight out of the fridge when I'm peckish and we have lollie and chocolate jars at work that are filled up daily, when they load it up with Turkish delights and Twirl's it takes some will power to avoid.Lightning McQueen wrote:Was having trouble with my weight when I was with my GF, I like to imtermittent fast and she prepared heavy dishes in the evening and we dined a fair bit.

I've upped my exercise this week so it will be interesting to see the next weigh in, I'm aiming at hitting 85 next, no time limit set, I'm not going to bust my nut trying, I still need to live and enjoy my life.
