New week, new resolve. I am going to do more exercise. There was a fascinating article in the paper at the weekend which talks about how FAT and OBESITY are not nearly so dangerous as we are led to believe. The key is to have good cardio health, to be fit. I am inspired by this as it makes sense to me. I have often thought that in spite of being fat I am actually relatively healthy. I eat very well and do loads of gardening.
I am not saying I am going to stop trying to lose a little weight, but I am going to stop scaring myself with the thing about how I will be ill if I dont lose weight. I am going to focus on exercise as a way of increasing my healthiness, not just a way of losing weight quicker.
OK, so I am going to walk up to the allotment every day. That is about a twenty minute walk, maybe fifteen mins? and with there and back, plus an hour or so gardening.....well, it cant do me any harm can it?
The old cat had to go to the vet again today. Poor thing. He has lost loads of weight, about a quarter of his (already depleted) body weight in about four weeks. He has not been eating. But the vet is hopeful that he might perk up if he goes on a drip for a couple of days. The bloods are being analysed this morning to see if it is diabetes or kidney problems. Oh dear.
So I am off for my walk!
