A Small Place in Yorkshire

 Whitby seafront taken on an overcast day. Still beautiful and special. I never get tired of walking this route. It brings back special memories and there is always something different to see every time I make that journey.

 

  I am a person who has good intentions with everything in life including exercise. I have great ideas in my head and believe that they can be put into practice. My problem being is that I can think them but, normally, cannot execute them. I find this happens a lot with the things I think of and when I do execute them, as such, they never turn out like the thought in my head. Bit like this Blog sometimes! If you have read any of my previous posts you will have noticed that I bought a Fitbit a while ago. I can since say I have become obsessed with it. I input everything into the app; water consumed, food, everything. It becomes my task throughout the day. I have seen good outcomes from using it and have lost over 1 1/2 stone. This is of course not just by using the Fitbit, but getting more exercise. I have a cross trainer, and have for many years, and did start using it more frequently, but as all best laid plans I have, it wavered and I didn't use it as much as I probably should ha...

  Now I try my best with exercise; I have wonderful ideas of how to keep on track, what exercise path I need to take, how it can fit into my life and the wonderful outcomes that it will bring. My problem is getting started and sticking to it!  Many years ago now I joined a gym. Attending classes every week and went to the gym at least two or three times a week. I really enjoyed it and it made a huge difference in how I felt mentally and physically. I gave up going when I bought a cross trainer for home and I changed jobs, so the gym was no longer near where I worked and I was just so tired having finished work for the day that I never went and gave up my membership. I did use the cross trainer a few times a week for a good few months but then slowly stopped using it and then not at all. What happened is I went to the doctor (it may be coming up to a couple of years ago now) and had my general review. While they give you a full check up one of the things is, obviously, weighing...

  Well I thought I would give an update on my Fitbit and how I am getting on with it.  Let's face it we all think at some point we need to get healthier, mentally and physically. I don't know anyone who hasn't thought like this. Not everyone is able to actually make that change and I will tell you I am probably one of those people. I am not good with keeping up with exercise and definitely not good at changing my eating habits. I decided to get myself a Fitbit around the end of August, beginning of September last year. I had wanted one for a while, but never really got around to buying one. First off, I would just like to say that I am glad that I bought it and made the investment. It was just under £100, so I didn't get one of the more expensive ones. The prices for them ranged from under £100 to about £200 at the time I was looking and I didn't want to buy a really expensive one if I wasn't going to get on with it. It was easy for me to set it up and put the a...
