That all sounds like definite progress to me UKGuy35.

Taking advantage of the warmer weather to walk regularly is a good plan if only to improve your aerobic fitness.

Do you think that it would help if you worked out a plan for dealing with the colder winter weather?

Hi Kiwi,

I will definately be putting a plan together for dealing with the winter months as they are always alot more challenging than the spring, summer and autumn months. In addition to regular exercise during the summer months I think I still need to do a bit more work on my diet and reducing the alcohol further. Its not easy but I am trying to just eat the things I enjoy in moderation and taking a more gradual approach to cutting down on things like sugar. If I can get my weight down as much as possible that would be a plus. I have a few months to sort of more suitable clothing - the socks I have currently I guess just aren't suitable for the colder months and also heat warmers usually help a bit so will stock up on them. I need to make sure I do as much as possible to keep my feet warm in the challenging months. Definately taking advantage of this warmer weather I think exercise is essential for things to improve. We can only do our best hey.
