For the first time in a while I struggled to get to the concourse in the upper west stand at the Amex. I didn't stop but it was hard and I was glad to be at the top of the stairs.
I got on the scales yesterday and decided it's time to start losing weight again. I'd put on about 4kg since before Christmas. I've got a friend (a nurse) who said that it is not what you eat between Christmas and New Year, but between New Year and Christmas that really counts.
No excuses, I over indulged on the food and drank a bit more than usual (though never to excess) and relaxed my exercise regime.
Moderate exercise is my limit, cancer and a heart condition (and my advancing years ) do restrict what I can realistically do, I just want to be as fit and well as I can be.
So we go again, back to eating well and going for brisk walks etc. (2.6km this morning in 30 minutes). I know I could cut my beer intake, but I only drink at week-ends and I look forward to my Friday evening pint as a reward for getting through another week.
My fIrst target is to get back to where I was pre-Christmas (92kg).
Here is the original thread, much helpful advice and encouragement (but some willy waving too and the odd minor spat, but then this is PFM )
