Fitness – Time for change

I’ve been thinking and not acting for too long and realise that IF I want to be fitter, look better and feel better and more alive I NEED to change and activly change in many ways – A change of diet (what I eat) aswell as increased exercise and fitness.

In 2000, I was:
10st ish, 28 inch waist, slim build, 6 foot 1 inch.
BMI: 18.5

In June 2009 I am:
12st 7, 36 to 38 inch waist, build – podgy, 6 foot 1 inch
BMI: 23

The ideal BMI is 22 apparently, so I’ve changed a LOT within 9 years. Now life is a lot different – I don’t have classes to get to – I drive to work and sit in an office a lot of the day – no longer active and think I eat more now that I did then.

So its Time for change…

As said before, I’ve been going to the gym to help with this but thats not all I am doing – that is the start to get me going.

I’ve realised that I’ve had more energy since doing more exercise – I gave a little time up and now seem to have more time as I’m less tired so the theory is that if I do more again, I’ll be fine for time as I’m more awake to get through the other stuff.

I’m trying the exercise DVD’s, mixed with the Gym & swim, Running etc to hopefully trim myself down, and get a more toned body and remove any podgyness thats appeared over time.
