Of things other than dieting
by Twentyfive on 12 Aug 2013, 11:01
Currently obsessed with cycling but not impressed that I am so slow, especially on hills. So I want to increase my speed to 25kph, hence my username. Yes, I realise that this is about losing weight, but I have no idea at what weight my Inner Chiselled Whippet (thanks Boris Johnson, you're good for something) will emerge so speed is my benchmark.
Reduced cholesterol. Statins are least effective for older women so as soon as adverse side effects clicked in I ditched them. No history of heart disease and I exercise and don't smoke, but all the same...
Improved brain function. Have suggested elsewhere that this could be included in our tracker but tried the balance test this morning and managed just over 2 seconds. That's got to improve!
End over eating. I just don't think it's a particularly attractive habit to have and my OH who NEVER eats anything he doesn't have room for, often looks askance at me. My father is a bit of a pig so I know where I get it from!
More physical and mental energy. I'm almost recovered from 10 years of fibromyalgia which for me was about fatigue and brain fog. For several years all I could do was work and then go to bed to recover. I know I've probably got another 20 active years in front of me and I want to make the most of them.
There, that's what this is all about. Oh and the opportunity to learn something new. Suits my obsessive nature.
