Well done Geo! We need more guys like you on this topic.
I've tried the whole gym thing. I used to go to Fitness First in Boston and I absolutely loved it. I'd go on the walkers, treadmill and rowers, then do some weights, then treat myself to a sauna afterwards. Bliss! I even threw in some of the spin classes and step aerobics plus the old sunbed.
What I do now though is save the money. I do various aerobics DVDs at least 3 times a week and have a total gym that I also use for the same amount of time. I'm feeling fitter already!
As for eating - well my biggest sin is choccy. But I've cut out the cereals covered in sugar that give me the colly wobbles by lunchtime and have replaced it with Lidls luxury muesli which isn't usually my thing at all as I hate raisins and dried fruit but this ones quite nice. During the day I'll eat if I'm hungry and while I try not to shovel down cakes etc if I fancy a triple decker sandwich then thats what I'll have, but it's usually fruit and yoghurt or cup a soup, then at tea I'll have whatever we all want followed by yogurts or whatever if i'm hungry.
The worst time for me is night time. Because of the medication I'm on I'm often still wide awake at 2 in the morning and thats when the sweetie craving kicks in.
I'm aiming for a stone to lose in weight cos I think it's best to aim for several small achievements instead of one huge one, so I'll weigh myself monday and let you all know the verdict.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
