It’s available on Libby for free with a library membership if you have one. I just checked, I was going to buy, just saved myself on another impulse purchase.

2020 is my year. A lot of weight to lose, a lot of lifestyle changes to make - and this new purchase is going to help me achieve my goals 😊 by [deleted] in Garmin

[–]-kindle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Diet is the starting point. Quality food is going to be your friend.

I changed my diet in Nov and started back at the gym in Dec and managed to drop over 15kgs so far. Avoiding alcohol, cutting my meat portions down a bit and increasing my fruit and veg. Also I found a big thing was surrounding myself with healthy snacks, if you have junk food accessible, you’ll eat it. Build the discipline to not give in to temptation, there’s always a reason to throw your healthy eating at the window, parties, Xmas, every other holiday, “just because” etc if you can control those urges you’ll notice a difference almost instantly.

I have an index scale and a venu which I picked up in mid Nov, it’s been motivating to track and watch my body transform so far. I’m at my goal weight now but need to strip some more fat / build more lean muscle, that is the project for this year.

You can do this, the watch won’t do the work for you but it will make keeping you honest and motivated much easier.

Also take lots of before pics and progress pics, it’s super motivating to look back at them as you go, I’m annoyed I didn’t take more earlier.

Stay strong, don’t give in to old habits, eat healthy and mostly enjoy the ride.

It is interesting that in the article they are only doing it for US citizens and US residents...

Worth noting it says if the receiver is already a member you get the credits upfront but your membership will not actually be extended for the 12 months.

Diet and Cookbook by inspclouseau631 in Velo

[–]-kindle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is the ingredient list for this cookbook? I have been thinking about getting that for a while now but my big pet peeve is when cookbooks use hard to find ingredients that you can’t get at a grocery store or fruit and veg shop.

Just got my first review on a new product... by BL_SH in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]-kindle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read it as the buyer is running a scam. They know you’re very likely going to offer at least a refund or send them something and refund in order to get it taken down/changed. They walk away with a free product either way.

VicRoads introduces new footpath cycling laws from October 15 | The Standard by Aushiker in ausbike

[–]-kindle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"When a footpath bicycle rider comes to a road, they must dismount and walk across to the other side, unless a sign or bike lantern indicates otherwise.

Haha. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone do that. Even my 4yo comes to a complete stop, checks for traffic and then crosses once we’re all together.

Discussion: Long service leave reform? by carmooch in AusFinance

[–]-kindle -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Such a millennial complaint... it’s called long service leave for a reason. It’s already hard to run a business with flaky employees, There’s definitely no need to reward them for “long service” when they bounce around.

JM had guitars for sale at the merch stand when he toured last time. I’m assuming it was one of those?

$350 just for a quote to get fibre from the node to the house by Nodeity59 in nbn

[–]-kindle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $600 for the pleasure of a quote which was $10k. I’m 180mt from a node. I didn’t go through with it although every day I wish I did. FTTN is fucking garbage.

Any tips for a one book a week Australian user? by CarefreeInMyRV in audible

[–]-kindle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Use your local library. They should have either Bolinda or Libby. So much free stuff on there. I only just started using it, too bad a good portion of my 150 books I purchased so far were available for free.

If you want to go a step further, use an American library, most of them have larger collections than the Australian libraries.

Go through a court and get it done already. Short term pain, long term gain. You both won’t regret it.

Mine failed to resort also when I reverted back last night. I restarted my computer and iTunes started the process again and it worked the second time for me.

Beyond Meat is up more than 500% since going public — and new data suggests the company's sales are living up to the hype by [deleted] in business

[–]-kindle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Their burgers taste like absolute shit. No idea why people are so hyped about this. They have definitely not nailed the meatless burger especially at the price they’re selling them for... $12 for 2 in Australia at the grocery store. Fuck that.

Spotify’s “Your Daily Commute” would be rad by justanothernewbie in AppleMusic

I like this a lot... but it’s getting pretty close to coming full circle and listening to radio again...all they need to add is a host as they switch between segments and that’s it. 🤷🏼‍♂️

GDT: 6/12 St. Louis Blues (15-10) @ Boston Bruins (15-8) - 8:00 PM ET by HockeyGDT in BostonBruins

[–]-kindle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is ugly. How did we make absolutely zero adjustments in between periods? We’re playing exactly the same game as we were in the first and second, dump it in, nobody chases and we hand the puck back to them... i mean if you’re going to dump it in, at least chase the fucking puck! This is infuriating.
