I think they have the ability to check using their own system if your payment method has an active fare against it. The system has to hold the info open so you can tap off again to finalise the actual amount you are paying.
The treadmill is now inside and unpacked. That counts as a workout in itself. Disposing of all the foam packing and the box it came in will also be a bit challenging. It folds away easily and neatly as advertised and can be moved fairly easily too. It seems solid and the belt is big enough I can run comfortably on it (for about 5 seconds, then exhaustion sets in). I probably should put shoes on if I want to do more than a very quick test though!
I still need to work out the best place to put it. At the moment I've got it under my desk, I'm not sure if it would be better to leave it there and move it if I want to sit at the desk, or to put it somewhere else entirely. I'll probably try a few different spots and then decide. It's very easy to move on the hard floor, fairly easy on a hard mat, and a bit hard on carpet as the wheels sink in and don't roll properly.
According to Kogan my treadmill was shipped today and could take up to 2 weeks to arrive. According to my camera it is sitting at my front door.
The standard watches definitely feel too big these days. I got a Samsung Fit3 which is smaller. It's fairly limited in what it does but covers everything I need it to do.
I've just put an order in for some new bands for my fit watch, as the silicone bands tend to irritate my wrist fairly quickly. I stopped wearing the last watch because of that issue, it didn't have a replaceable band.
There are lots of different band types available now, plus protective covers for the watch itself and various bits of bling you can clip on too. I've ordered a few different types , so will be able to do dark and boring to match my work uniform or bright and colourful when I feel like being a bit more fun.
I'm definitely glad I bought the van last year, it uses almost half the amount of fuel as the old car did.
I'm going to have to fill my van with petrol today, so not particularly.
I made fajitas for tomorrow nights dinner and now my house smells of fajitas but I can't eat them yet ๐
Organising win for the day: the box my fit watch came in is the perfect fit to go in my bathroom organiser and tidy up my unruly packets of dental floss picks.
I've tidied up the bathroom cabinet a bit, and a section of the pantry that was a chaotic mix of vitamin pills, pet supplies and a few random things that were far better off elsewhere.
I'm continuing to work on the area of the study that became a dumping ground for all the miscellaneous stuff I wasn't sure where to put when I moved. The plan is to clear out all the excess clutter and tidy everything up and create space for the new fitness stuff.
And it would only take a couple of googly eyes on the bag to turn it into a pet.
