Well, I eventually got off my but, picked myself up by the scruff of my neck and forged ahead full speed. My main aim was to get fit and stay healthy.
That meant losing weight, eating right and changing - NO! BREAKING bad habits.
So firstly, no more bad foods, sugars, alcohol, lasagne and spaghetti bolognaise (SIGH). and so on and so on and so on.
Well since 1 January I have lost in total 14kg and although the cm loss is not as much as I hoped - I feel fantastic.
I injured my right ankle in 2010 and since then blossomed in girth, but over and above that I seem to have developed peripheral neuropathy in my feet.
Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) is the term used to describe disorders of the peripheral nerves. PN is a deterioration of the peripheral nerves, those farthest away from the spinal cord and brain. This means I have a problem with my feet on a daily basis.
As a result I made one excuse after the other about how my painful feet are a hinderance for me to do any form of ecercise.
Well I just decided to hell with this. I go to gym every day and I can't wait to get home in the afternoon, shed my work clothes and rush off to my daily rush. I got so addicted especially after I saw how different I was feeling. My instructor worked out a programme for me and I googled left, right and centre...........
six weeks later I had lost 11kg and 24cm.
I vary my routine and adapt my exercises to accomodate my feet. If I can't do a sit up, I don't just give up, I find an alternative that will work just as well. Squats just slay me, but once again find something else that will do the same job. What I have learnt is if one thing does not work for you - find another.
The site below is fantastic, full of inspiration and at first I was a bit daunted at the pictures of all the skiiny people. I am a big boned girl and will NEVER look like any of those girls, besides at my age, who would want to. So have at it girls.
