I'm aiming to be the fittest person on the lung transplant list in 2014

Today I've ordered a treadmill so I can continue walking through the winter months. It was in the sale at Ar*os so I thought now's the time, and dare I say it, my wife said she wants to lose a few 'OUNCES' too.

Now where's that large Toblerone my mum bought me for Christmas, well it takes a few days to be delivered and I'll need some energy from somewhere eh.

Hey lets all get fitter together in 2014, we can do it with a little positive thinking!!!

Tony :) Just call me coach if you like, the Healthunlockeders personal trainer, and by the way the Toblerone tastes great.

Oh yes the dog in the picture with me is Bron, she's my Dads personal trainer

You won't want to take the backward step of training me.......We dormice sleep all winter, so your first task is to wake me up and keep me awake long enough to exercise. But while I have my eyes open, hope they sort out the boil on your butt and happy new year.....Dozy x

Hey superwoman, your doing just great. What we gotta do next year is try and improve from where we are now whatever level that might be. Your first year is all about survival, as it was with me and now its time to step it up and move forward.

What we need is a cat to chase this doormouse into shape, eek!! ok maybe something not quite as drastic as that. 2014 is a good year to end the hibernation early and start working towards easier breathing.

2014 is going to be the year the national grid don't take a dip when DD switch's on her concentrators.

Coach Tony. :) :) :) :) :) xxxx

Here goes the iPad playing up again! Was just going to say,toblerone reminds me of my Gramps,I'm sure he had shares in the company!

Well I hope you & the child bride enjoy your walkies,on the treadmill! I'm so glad you said ounces,or you may have been locked out at New Year!!

I do wish you & family,all the best,fingers crossed,you don't have to wait to long,you have been so diligent,in exercising etc,they won't dare say no to you!!

So lots of positive thoughts,across the miles,

Hi Tony, I could do with a personal trainer, had my treadmill about 6 months now and at the beginning it was great but like most things I rarely (never) use it now, will be trying to get back to it after the new year, now I have my oxygen it should be easier.

Sorry about your sit up on, hope it heals soon and you will be able to sit up on it comfortably again.

Hi Polly, Its time to dust off the treadmill turn up the oxygen and walk walk walk back to fitness. You will find it easier with oxygen, I have to have mine on around 6 liters when exercising but it helps you to keep going longer.

We all know exercise is the best thing for us but it is pretty uncomfortable to do, hey ho what has to be done has to be done.

Thanks to my bum problem the exercise bike is parked up for a while :) oucha!!

Happy New Year Polly.

Well done for getting your fitness sorted out for 2014 I have two four legged trainers Harvey who is a black lab and Holly who is a yellow lab they are the reason I keep going its them who get me out of bed every morning knowing they go for a walk.

Good look Tony

I am aiming to lose the final half stone I need to lose to get my transplant assessment and then to carry on and hopefully be too fit to be on the list! If you get my drift?

We have a 5 month old puppy and the best exercise for me is getting her out and walked which I love - so I am hoping this awful weather will get lost and I can get her out and about again!
