So... I can't quite believe we're in April and I'm still on track! I'm walking a lot with my dog which I'm sure helps,I try to power walk where possible, especially up hills. I'm getting much better on the treadmill and I've moved on to advanced fitness videos on YouTube some of which I can do and some where I still struggle. I try to do various reps throughout the day such as squats, star jumps,burpees, push-ups etc... (Whilst the kettle boils or the ads are on). I feel fantastic and have lost 30lb. Lots of people noticing too which is great. Add on top a new job that I love and 2018 is a great year so far.

I'm so happy for you! It is always a day by day goal to be active and it looks like you are well on your way. Have activities that bring you joy and not drudge. And yes, doing activites while waiting for something engages your brain too. Going to get the oil changed in your car? Make the appointment on a nice day and take a brisk hour walk. Going for groceries? Park way the hell away from the most convenient space and do a couple extra laps in the store.



Congrats on the new job! That always helps the outlook.



Thank you. I have to comment that although I have become much more physically active, I believe that my own issues are fought in my mind. In my old job I became depressed and, and as result, I overate and did very little exercise, gaining weight as a result (I'm by no means huge but I had gained fat from eating junk). I don't want to reveal my breaking point but at that point I gave my notice at work and decided change was needed. I am now financially worse off so can't afford a gym therefore tips such as the ones you've given are helping. I'm happier mentally though and that has become reflective in my diet and fitness regime. I truly believe that mental well-being is the most important thing to take care of, even if it has come at a financial loss.

Too many cheeseburgers?

I had a less-than-great cheeseburger for lunch today and it feels like that burger alone put 10 pounds on me. Ugh. NOT the way I wanted to end what has otherwise been a productive April.

I am not so much into the cheese as the bacon... maybe it is age? I have also started back to sugar. I was on mostly no sugar (save a little ice cream). But I have not even been to that burger place in 6 mos. They have a bad rep for not supporting the community.
