I'm on a mission..cos I am a Walrus.

A Mission to get fit.
Starting next week.

I have signed up with a personal trainer (!) for a 6 week intense one-on-one session (no smut please, I'm British). Swim, gym (boring, but....), a healthier diet and a lot less alcohol.

Needs must.
All encouragement welcome.

I've cut out cigs at the moment, because I have a dreadful cold. Can't really drink because of the meds/flu remedies and I'm having lots of healthy soups. So I am, inadvertently, living a slightly cleaner lifestyle at present. I'll support you all the way !

You might just enjoy it.... can't see you becoming jogger-sal though....but it gets easier the more you do...just find something you enjoy doing... for me its walking and swimming and wii fit

[Bbbananas]

I always swim - but not in school holidays cos I can't stand the brats getting in the way and splashing me. I cannot jog. I don't mind cycling. I have a wii fit but half the time I can't be bothered and read instead....

I have met my personal trainer. He's called Matt and he's in his early thirties. That in itself may be an incentive ;-)

Bog off, Butch.

Well I hope your personal trainer is a Hunk, it will make it all worthwhile then.
Good Luck, - Keep us up to date.

I had a free thirteen weeks with a personal trainer (well she was about to qualify and she needed a volunteer to write her final assignment on...) She was def. an incentive....and she taught me a lot... about being proud of what my body could do as well I ended up teaching her some yoga in return ... it really does help while you are trying to establish a pattern that works for you..

[Bbbananas]

I went for the personal trainer option rowan, because I just know that left to my own devices I will lose motivation, will make excuses for not going or for not stopping long, only do the exercises I actually quite like.....

I hope he's not too hard on me.

Good luck Sal! I've cut down the booze, fags and go to the gym. I've lost half a stone in a little over a week. I bloody HATE that cross trainer though. You WILL feel better for it though.

[Bbbananas]

I hope so.... ever since my heart op last Feb, I've vowed to do more exercise. Truth is however, I've had a very lazy decadent summer. with a birthday coming up, yet another, this time I am determined. I will keep you all updated with my progress.

But remember - this doesn't start until next week. (Tonight I'm at the cinema with Lil, preceded by a drink or two in the Moon Under Water. Cheap night).

[Bbbananas]

There is hard Butch, and there is hard....

[mccfluff]

good luck, have fun, i'll eat your share of cake whilst your doing it and drink the booze as well if you like?

[Bbbananas]

I didn't say I was giving up the booze.
Don't be silly.....

[mccfluff]

only trying to help :-)
