So many set backs.....

[sueper]

So I have been trying to get fitter for about 6 weeks now and in those 6 weeks I have been unwell for 3 weeks. 2 nasty colds and now a sickness bug. I am so disappointed as every time I try to get fit I either have a flare up of back pain (I suffer with chronic back pain) or get struck down by a cold. Always well when not taking any exercise and eating crap. I am finding it so frustrating. I have set myself fitness goals that I simply can't now achieve. Although my main goal to walk around a 4 mile beauty spot is still on course for May. I wonder if other people have the same problems as me, it is so demoralising. I have a lot of weight to lose and working on a lifestyle change rather than a diet. The ailments haven't effected my new changing attitude to food but seriously affecting my exercise plans.

I have been loosing since since last September, but I lost my focus, I found this and I am not starting again. I had one cold after another, I aimed to walk 10,000 a day did that for a month, but Feb and March not so much, hard to keep going, but I always try to rethink. Focus on what you can do not what you can't. Good luck

Thanks Shirley. So frustrating when you are trying to be healthy and keep getting sick. Hopefully by the weekend I will be back to normal.
