Fitnesstypes. I've been taking your advice.

Still off the fags?

not completely
but a couple here and there.

Well you'll still benefit from cutting down, least not financially.

My colleague just went cold turkey about a month ago. Has stuck to it religiously and, despite being in a mostly foul mood for that past few weeks, can now see it's getting easier.

Eating properly prior to exercise helps in this regard too.

I think that's where I have been going wrong. Been stuffing pasties into my ears and nose rather than into my mouth

Cheeky *******.

I'm far from convinced anyone actually feels any better, until you run for a bus, or walk up a hill, and realise that you wouldn't have managed it 12 months previously...

You should feel better after every workout, as the endorphins kick in.

If Pat isn't feeling any better he isn't doing it properly. Or he's over-compensating in some other, less healthy, manner.

Actually I felt really miserable after the gym the other day.

What I do like about it is that when I am relaxing at home after the gym I am not really thinking about anything and can enjoy watching tv more.

You travel on buses?

Edged, gone!

Well bowled, Peter.

I would suggest perhaps that Pat’s main issue here is that he simply does not enjoy the gym based exercise regime which he is undertaking.

No release of endorphins, them a very personal intangible, will compensate when a person does not want to be exercising but maybe feels they should.

I find the gym extremely boring but necessary unfortunately as I put on too much weight. Office life stops me from the exercise I require. perhaps I will find it pleasurable later and maybe I don't see the results I want.

And I wish to resume other interests such as hockey but I am too out of shape. Playing sports is great I like exercise that you don't think of. I was under the impression being fit or becoming fit I would feel better. I am in the phase of feeling worse. Perhaps it gets better later. And I don't feel I am doing too much or too little.
