Looking at my diary I should weigh about 14 stone by now, if i'd stuck to the plan. However as you can probably guess I didn't and i'm weighing in at 20.1. Not a good thing.
I went swimming for the first time in months yesterday. It doesn't seem to go particularly well with my arthritis and my knees and ankles were complaining afterwards but painkillers saw me through it. My friend and I only managed to do about 10 lengths before I started to hurt but I'm hoping that i'll get another couple done every time I go.
I've also booked in to see the nice man in the gym on friday to talk options for workouts that won't make me worse. I'm guessing that cycling and rowing are out as the repetitive motion has gotta hurt. My gym minded friend and I think that walking slowly at a high incline and few reps at high weight on the other stuff is probably the way forward.
Either way with that and swimming a couple of times a week and aquafit once a week hopefully i'll be feeling fitter soon.
That's the general plan. I'm not going to think too much about my weight, although I am going to see the doctor to see if I can get any help or support from them, just try and raise my fitness levels and in theory watch my weight fall.
Maybe this time will be the success story...
