I do a seventy-five minute fitness routine most days. I have to anyway, because I have a crushed vertebrae in my neck - and I quickly get backaches and extreme headaches if I let the fitness slide. I walk a few kilometres most days and the bike will be repaired and used more over the coming days. However, I am probably still not burning up anything like the amount of calories which I did when I was one man banding full time. The doc doesn't have to pester me on this one at all. I am shocked and ashamed that I have allowed myself to get into this state! I think you are right about the fun though leenia. Cycling is probably the best idea for right now. It's cheap and easy to park.
Thanks for the recipe CS. I'll look that one up. I love nearly all vegetables, so anything with vegetables and pulses is probably the way to go now!
