I have heard that my gym regime is basically rubbish! Someone at lunch today revealed precisely what lengths of time I should be doing what for- and it simply sounds awful! I am sure that what I have been doing is making a difference to my general fitness but maybe not too much to my weight losing programme. So I need to make a step change in what I am doing. Not sure how to do that but it does seem to be mind over matter so I'll have to put my mind to it I guess! Bummer though. Guess there are no easy ways round such matters! I want it to be sustainable and life-changing so I had better do what it takes to get me there I suppose! My food eating regime has had a step change recently (including drinking far less when my cousin told me she thought I was drinking too much through reading this blog!). So all in all it should pay off over time. Being healthy and fit is my primary focus but I must admit that if I look better too then I wont be too upset about it! I guess I am coming to this whole thing about 10 years later than most of my contempories which is why they know more about what to do than I do! But considering recently I was out of breath after 2 minutes on the running machine, I dont think I am doing too badly! Better to take things slowly than to injure myself is my theory (but I guess I do need to push myself to be able to eventually get to where I want to be!). My cousin seemed to lose an awful lot of weight without the heartache that I am going through- it is a shame this ability to shed the pounds easily doesnt run in the family I suppose!
Having said all that above, my other exciting thing of the day is that I am making home-made pizzas tonight for some guests we have got coming round. It isnt in any way a formal dinner party but they asked for some food so I thought I would try my hand with the bread maker and some fresh tomato sauce! Let's see what happens...(I cant only eat healthy food but as long as I am having 5 fruit and veg a day, lots of water etc the odd treat really does have to be included in my diet or it isnt actually worth bothering with is my view!).
