I see the 2016 update...you could get up to 100 % discount on gym fees..." If the gym contract is older than 12 months"

Tried to update my vitality wellness info for 2016...my mental wellness has deteriorated somewhat in the past 12 hrs ...being extremely patient trying not to throw my iPad across the room in frustration...lucky I have a rubber mallet and a 200mmx 200mm X 30 mm thick steel plate I beat when dealing with Telkom...municipality or other government institutions...it seems I need to use it when dealing with discovery vitality [emoji35] The question is do I need this extra frustration in my life...are a couple drinks worth the hassle?

I did a 38.2 km rocky bay ride yesterday and reached my goal for the week 3000 points...but registered as a park run [emoji15] call it what they want...so long as I get the points...if I can ride 1 day a week and reach my goal... Maybe it is time to look into the Apple Watch... I have the iPhone...just need to get the credit card.

One of my favorites...being in the right place at the right time.

It wouldnt switch on was told it was water damaged beyond repair at the v.........shop...took it to a fella in an alley...paid R200 to repair it...it now works fine [emoji57]

Sony Z1...camera was written off after these pics were taken...due to water damage.

I am starting to stack the reward smoothies...just need to watch the expiry dates My goal is only 600 points...i am already on 400 from 2 rides this weekend...by tomorrow morning i will already reach the 600...some weeks i get 1000 This watch is starting to sound like a good idea...but i need to check...admin fees...credit card annual fees etc etc.

Decided to enjoy an off road ride for a change today...pic taken at the top of the blue route.

Wednesday came and went...no reward...was a bit bummed...checked my strava...had done rides last week...points reflected 0...yesterday i logged on again to check...there it was last week goals achieved...and 200 point towards this weeks goal

Glad I am not the only one...I thought reading life insurance policies were a drag...then they introduced vitality...we need a dummies guide to vitality.

why the look and not shimano pedals? the reason i ask this is because i have a small situation...the bike i bought has look pedals on them...i have taken them off and using mtb shimano pedals for now until i figue out what to do. i need to invest in a pair of road bike shoes..the issue i have is do i stick with look pedals or do i change to shimano pedals...apparently you cant use shimano cleat on look pedals and visa versa. i looked around today at both the shimano and look pedals...a few bob difference in price...however there seems to be a difference in weigh and compound...the look pedals seem lighter for the cheaper model units...the platform slightly wider on the shimano pedal...until you go into the more expensive models.

My first free smoothie...achieving the reward is too easy....i thought you had to redeem the smoothie only on Wednesdays...but i see you have 15 days to claim it [emoji3]

Got to start somewhere...even got mom on a bike now.

Sony Z1 taken in the swimming pool.

The pictures of this bike certainly dont do it justice...[emoji3]

Beach ride this morning.

I need to check if this one was taken with my phone.

Ventured out the hood today...took a ride out east...got my first puncture on the road bike...i have repaired lots of punctures on other peoples bikes...so it was a quick easy task...I enjoy riding alone...but when i felt the back wheel go flat and stopped to change the tube i realized that there lots of people walking in groups...there was an incident a while back were a cyclist beaten into a comma by a group of 5...1 person did stop and ask if he could help...only after i said everything was ok...i realised i should have asked him to just stop and watch that nothing happened while changing the tube...nothing happened so i was fortunate and was back on the bike within a couple of minutes....in future i will certainly stop if a cyclist has a problem even if i just watch that he/she is ok.

banting diet with vitality??? did i miss something... they certainly dont promote full cream milk...i dont drink low or fat free...so i got a knuckle beating for that

ooops...score card shows my vitality age at 59...yiiiiikes...i am actually only 49. started on blue status...but clocking the points quickly with all the assessments. thanks for the input...gona make it a little easier for me to find my way through the maze to achieve gold status as soon as possible.

We have decided to join Vitality to benefit from what sounds like rewards for living healthy...entering races etc. This is gona be a lot more interesting than i expected... any tips on ways to make the most of vitality. for example...i thought i would benefit by purchasing an edge 520 or 920 xt...and benefit from the 25 % (the key words "UP TO") discount...mmm if you go to the shops which offer the discounts you will find the prices are a little more than if you shop around...but then you get points etc. Was considering doing another cadence class...unfortunately they dont have a suitable time...so instead i thought i would join a gym...then i could swim...run...and cycle....and even do a little weight training...you have to pay a "joining fee" up front...but get "up to" 80 % discount. the bonus would be if someone here has lots of experience and tips to share.

Took the bike out for the first ride since the amashova
