Anyone ready to ring in the new year...and lose weight/get fit?

[Reg]

I had big plans for my garden in 2011

Building chicken run.

Digging out a larger pond.

Adding extra veg patches.

But im 54 years old. 5ft 7" & 200lbs !

Trying to do this work in my condition was going to kill me.

So first thing was to loose weight & get fit.

Told my wife i would not eat anything she did not give me. ( Big mistake ) LOL

Also we now go to my sister house mon & fri to use her running machine & other bit of kit.

Wednesday we go swimming.

I have been doing this for 2 weeks now.

I am currently down to 192lb

It is already making a difference, I have dug out a path & concreated it for my hen house with out to much problem.

Its only when you return to normal weight & regain your fitness that you realise just how much you had been struggling before !

For all on here trying to loose weight, KEEP IT UP IT WILL BE WELL WORTH IT IN THE END.

I am trying to "give up" soda.....or at least reduce it to more like a treat when I go out.

Thank goodness for the Lemon trees, drinking lots of water with a splash of lemon juice

ME TOO! I wasn't even trying to lose it.

...oh wait, that might have been the initial weight loss. What does half a brain weigh?

Ernest (the dog) and I went for a walk to get away from the noise of the roofers. We walked to the coffeeshop and back, about .65 miles each way. I sat and had an espresso at the coffeehouse. Ernest had a bowl of water, and a treat when we got home.
