Tip of the week.

Hi losers

My tip of the week this week is, Get online, look for an event near you and PAY THE MONEY AND SIGN UP....

I just completed a 10k race with my daughter yesterday (04.08.16) and it was fantastic. If you enter a race or event then you are committing yourself and you have to go out and train, put in effort or risk losing your hard earned money. It really is a motivator to get your backside out the door.

Watch the Olympics and get yourselves inspired. Go do a challenge.

Hi Dadtoad,

This is an inspiring post, and you and your daughter look great with your medals. Great that you both completed the 10km race yesterday.

Wishing you a great weekend.

Very well done! Unfortunately some of us are unable to run due to various reasons, I'm getting fitter all the time and doing lots of walking and power walking, I find my tracker a great motivator, and feeling better of course.

That is wonderful, but as was said previously, some of us aren't able to do that just yet. I am struggling at the moment, as i have a bad left leg, and hasn't been able to enjoy my 30-45 mins walk home from work daily.

Sometimes it gets me down, as i know it is as a result of me walking 7 days a week allowed me to lose weight safely and faster. I am not a gym person, i can't stand being in a gym, and prefer the outdoors.

I walked about 25mins on my way to town this morning, broke a bit of sweat, and encourage myself. As tesco says EVERY LITTLE HELPS.

Now for the good news. I had my weigh in yesterday at my nutritionist and i am now 18st 6Ibs. That may sound a lot, and yes its a lot, but for me, coming from 21st in January 2016, this is a great achievement. Rome wasn't built in a day, and i know i have come a long way. My target is 17st, but will def go down a bit more when i reach 17st.

Not all events are running events. Try golf or walking events. The post is not about running but about doing exercise. Look at my video about exercise. Yes I am running but I am showing you how slow is better. Try badmington, tennis, anything that gets you out of the house doing something extra. All those burned up calories count towards your goal...
