kuranda Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ok so what can I say? How about a little fact profile... Height: 5'4Weight: 10st 4lbIdeal Weight: 9stWhat I Am going to do to get there: eat more fruit and vegetables, exercise at least three times a week, keep this thread updated every day to keep track on my progress​Challenge started: 12th March 2015 Well there's my life in a nut shell. Since moving into my own place this year I've gone from 9st 8lb to that and obviously I'm not happy about it! Ideally I want to get fit and loose weight but motivation is an issue. I just come in from work so tired! Oh, I work as a groom on a horse yard and ride most days as well, yet another reason to loose weight so I can ride more horses and fitter so I can ride better. I think most the exercise I will end up doing is running as it's something I rather enjoy but I want to try and find other interesting sporty things as well so all suggestions welcome! Anyway here's what I suppose is basically my diary... 1 Quote Link to comment
CyclingMimi Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Welcome here!! To me, it seems like you're getting lots of exercise at your job, since riding horses is exercise. It doesn't burn as many calories as some others, but it does burn calories. As a groom, are you also cleaning out stables? I know that grooms sometimes have to, depending on the size of the stable, but a lot don't. How far do you live from your work? If it's not too far, would you be able to walk or bike to & from work? That'd be a way to get in some exercise.The more you exercise, the less tired you'll feel from it, as you probably already know. I have to admit to a bit of jealousy - I love horses & would love to have your job!

EmbracingChaos Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Good luck on losing weight. A lot of people start and enjoy the bodyweight workouts found on the site, perhaps that would interest you? 1 Quote "Take arrows in your forehead, but never in your back" - Samurai Maxim Challenges: 1, 2, 3, 4 Battle Log Hinge Habits, Be Like Water, Failure Should Be Welcomed, Architect Your Environment, Set Goals For Processes Not Desires, Minimum Effective Dose 101 Link to comment
