Finding the time

If July was the quiet month of the year, then August is certainly shaping up to be the insanely busy month of the year. It's a bit crazy at the moment, and I'm out of the house almost every night of the week, and all weekend, doing different things.

This level of activity is, however, a bit of a challenge when it comes to eating healthily and finding time to exercise. When I only have 20 minutes on an evening to prepare and eat a meal, it does become awfully tempting to pop to the chip shop. And when I'm rushing from appointment to appointment, a taxi journey seems much better than walking when I'm running late.

I suppose, on the food front, I should stock up on some of those ready meals from the supermarket that can be zapped in the microwave in a couple of minutes. But I've never really liked them. I wouldn't say I'm a very good cook, but I do like to prepare meals based on their raw ingredients, rather than just heating up some processed food.

And I suppose my primary method of exercise - walking - requires quite a large commitment of time each day. I've thought about whether I should try taking up running instead, but feel like I need my belly and man-breasts to shrink some more before I try it out, as they still flop about everywhere at the moment. I also think that 19 stone is still really heavy, and I don't want to damage my knees by causing them too much stress.

I've also thought about getting myself a bicycle, but don't really have anywhere to store it between rides.

I guess, come September, things will quieten off again, and I'll be able to invest a bit more time again into proper eating and exercising. And as long as I don't gain any weight in the mean time, that'll be fine.

Salutations and congratulations on your success over the weight. I'm on a similar path to becoming a smaller person. Your a real inspiration.
