Getting up at stupid o’clock in the morning and going out for a walk/jog first thing when its rather chilly and motorists give me strange, funny looks is even less appealing.

Still, I’m determined to stick with it because I know I’m getting positive results.

Interesting about the forgetting to go outside comment at the weekends – I’ve done that so many times its scary. I get to Sunday night and think to myself “You know, I haven’t left the house this weekend”.

Look after your knee, the last thing you want to do is agaravate it.

I’ve had gym memberships before, the last one in a gym that shared the car park with work, easiest thing in the world, but I hated the time it took out of my day along with the whole communal changing rooms/shower cubicle setups. Plus there was a personal trainer who also happened to be a manager that was a complete and utter a*se who didn’t understand why people couldn’t take care of their bodies. Way to go motivate people, huh?

Make sure you don’t overdo it with the exercise – its not great to work out everyday because your muscles don’t get a chance to repair and rebuild.
