So... its not just eating is it? e.x.e.r.c.i.s.e......
Every time i've tried to loose weight in the past i have focused entirely on food but I learned a big lesson last year, from about June to August. I started running. This is a truly shocking thing for me to do, i am simply not an exerciser.
I was inspired by my mum, who admittedly is an exerciser and as skinny as a rake, but she is 64 and having never done running before, with two girls from out local pub they decided to do a 10k race for charity.
I started very very slowly, run 1min walk 1min, then built it up to the point that i was actually genuinely enjoying it doing about 4k, 3x a week! And i lost loads of weight and felt amazing. But then the old hypothyroid flared up and i was knocked out for 2 months, piled all the weight back on and felt miserable as sin!
Anyway, along with my big food push in January, i'm determined to get back to doing more exercise. Running once a week and walking at least 30mins a day. I will build from there.
If anyone else is thinking about having a go at starting to run, let me know. I was using an app on my phone called 'runmeter' that was absolutely fantastic, they also do a 'walkmeter' and 'cyclemeter' version.
I'm going to start writing my rules and mini targets.
Hope your all feeling christmassy!
