Sorry to hear that, lovely. We should catch up sometime. Lots to talk about on both sides, I'm sure. Drop me an email or a Googlychat sometime and we can have a good old chinwag.

I'm been training to be a ninja… hand well played I reckon 😉

In all seriousness, I've been down into the Slough of Despond and am now trying to claw my way back again 🙂 xx

Exercise bike can be hard work because, like many other machines, it's easy to misjudge your pace and tire yourself out after a few minutes. I've found that sitting playing the game while I ride helps me to pace myself a bit better — I don't necessarily go that fast and/or far, but I can keep going for a long time.

Re: the gym thing, it's a common phobia. A lot of people don't like the idea of going to the gym because other people will see them. I've always taken the opinion that if you're at the gym, at least you're making an effort to better yourself, so no-one has any right whatsoever to look at you and judge you, whatever you might look like or however much you might be gasping for breath. 🙂 I've got to the stage now where I can just tune out the other people around me and concentrate on what I'm doing. (Podcasts and games help a lot with this!)

Working out at home is cool, particularly if you can do something you enjoy (like gaming) while doing so, but be careful because it's easy to be tempted by food, TV, comfy couch, bed… anything but that bike/rower/whatever. It's about getting into a routine, more than anything, and that comes with time… and a healthy dose of stubborn bloody-mindedness.

Woo! Looking forward to working out alongside you. Sort of. Come check in on the Squadron of Shame group over on Fitocracy — hopefully that place will be a-buzzin' before long 🙂

Christmas didn't help. We got given a cupboard full (literally) of crap food which we STILL haven't got all the way through. If it's not there, it can't be temptation. Unfortunately, it is there.

I don't eat horrendously badly, but I tend to graze and snack on things if I'm bored, lonely, depressed or whatever. I need to break that habit — or at least snack on things that are a bit better for me.

Go go go Ms Vee! Come be superheroawesomegirl with me on Fitocracy. It's super-fun. Also, where the damn diddly hell have you been? 🙂

I'm trying to get into the habit of regular exercise, but I absolutely hate the idea of going to the gym and -gasp- having people see me, so I'm actually contemplating buying a low-end exercise bike for the house. Would you mind sharing how you find it? I've never actually used one myself. I do admittedly like the idea of exercising in a way that allows me to play games at the same time… I'm sure I'd be much more motivated to keep doing it if I could >_>

If I start the morning with some good cardio, the rest of my day tends to go better. It's just finding the will power to get my happy butt up at five in the morning to get it done.

So I'm going to knuckle down, take your advice (and your Fitocracy support group invite) and get healthy!

Give yourself time to get used to this, make it a habit, then change the next thing. Makes it a bit less painful than giving up all the things immediately, doing great for a month and then losing the will to be chocolate-free and eating Cadbury's annual output in the space of two hours.

(May be speaking from experience)
