Nowadays my exercise quotient is better than it used to be. I know walk 20 minutes a day from work to the railway station. It’s a nice walk – I cross Trafalgar Square and I enjoy it. My husband has also given me a Wii and Wii Fit for my birthday and I try to do at least a little everyday. I was doing 30 min average till last week but then I was ill for a while and haven’t been able to. I need to get back into the habit because I know it’s been helping me lose weight and become fitter. I’m going to the movies tonight and won’t be home till 10.30 but I think I will try to do at least 10 minutes on the Wii Fit. Every little helps!

Well my last resolution didn’t last very long! I sort of abandoned 43things and went off and put on lots more weight. At my heaviest (on 5th March 2008), I weighed 92.9kg (14st 9lb). a visit to the doctor soon after that really scared me. My husband and I were both diagnosed with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. In addition, he has diabetes. He was put on medication and both of us were told to lose weight on an urgent basis. The doctor said if I hadn’t lost a significant amount of weight in a year (thereby lowering my cholesterol), he would have to put me on medication too.
Since then, we’ve been trying really hard and have had pretty good results. My husband especially is doing really well. He’s lost 10kg and his BMI has dropped from nearly obese to mid-range overweight. His blood pressure is now under control without medication.
Me, I’ve had a harder time since I tend to lose focus thereby wiping out my hard work. Still, I’ve lost close to 5 kg – I had lost over 5kg but gained a bit back last week. Still, I’m being very good this week and have hope that the Saturday weigh in will not be too bad.
