Is it too late to join in, as I only made the decision, and joined weight watchers on Monday evening? So far, Tuesday, day one - no points saved but another earned. Day two - 5 points over, due to it being session night... and they WERE only 2 small, plain cheese and 1 plain chicken triangle sandwiches... and I only had one glass of stout...one ginger beer...one coffee... Day three has seen me onto the skimmed milk at last. Drinking lots of hot water instead of tea/coffee with only a couple of the real thing during the day now. Filling up on apples and pears, and an occasional 1 point biscuit. I have discovered that half fat cheese tastes gross! Suppose I'll have to get used to it.
Swimming is a good exercise for me, but I have to motivate myself to get into the car and drive at least 7 miles to a pool, and only at certain times when I can do lengths properly. Seeing as how the local schools all use the leisure facilities, makes it a bit restrictive, and at lunch times they get full. Gym pools are also too small for me, and often you spend your time weaving around the people who are merely winding down after exercise. I don't get on well in gyms, as I get pains in my arm when I do some stuff, and despite the hospital saying I haven't got angina (still not convinced, after nothing happened on the hospital treadmill - which it does in the gym after about 10 mins), I do have high BP, and some shoulder problems.
I have got a new bike, a good one, but I am a little nervous after a long break from riding. I WILL get on it - it's good cycling round here, as it's fairly flat. I just have to make sure I can judge the distance so that I can make it back again, and try to keep off the main roads.
