And for the insomniacs it’s only 6 sleeps till Christmas
I’m 30 and fit and healthy.
I very rarely drink, don’t smoke, I exercise 3 days a week but on Friday just gone ended up at Glenfield hospital as had really bad chest pains.
Turns out I have anxiety which has never happened to me before!
Not nearly as healthy as I want to be. Got to a point where I was having a few beers every night and it just wasn’t sensible to be piling on the pounds like I did. Took a month off drinking in October and felt so much better for it, so much so that I’ve since started drinking non-alcoholic beer instead of the proper stuff. Heineken Blue is the best I have found. Also packed in smoking recently although I am still partial to the odd one on rare occasions, and also back in the gym 5 days a week. Been going in the mornings as I feel it sets me up for the day properly then. Hoping to shift a couple of stone in the next 6 months or so.
In the summer I was having a few beers almost every night. It's an easy ritual to get into, especially when the weather is hot.
I hate to tell you but between 50 and 60 is when your previous lifestyle starts catching up with you.I drink.
I smoke.
I binge eat.

My advice to everyone is don't smoke, don't drink, avoid fatty foods, exercise regularly and most important of all avoid stress at all costs.

Well I'd avoid smoking but some fatty food and drinks in moderation is probably not too detrimental.Bloody hell that's no fun - we do all of those things to avoid getting stressed!
I don't drink much most of the time. I can go days without a single tinnie. And I always have plenty of tinnies and spirits in. My problem is that sometimes I have a drink. You don't notice how much you have when you go out. A nice steady drink is about 2 pints an hour. Doesn't sound a lot. But when you are out for about 15 hours it is quite a bit. And you don't get hammered because it is spread over a long period. At least drinking at home you see the cans and bottles mounting up.Well I'd avoid smoking but some fatty food and drinks in moderation is probably not too detrimental.
I buy a 6-pack of cider and it takes me two weeks to get through it, that's moderation for me.
It is when you just love the cheesecakeLiving a healthy lifestyle really isn't all that difficult.
Living a healthy lifestyle really isn't all that difficult. If you start right then you are fine, it's only a problem if like for many you have lived unhealthily for a decade.
If you want to lose weight it is very easy, my old many has lost the best part of 8 Stone in 6 months. He eats 3 meals a day, and good portions, just controls what he eats, has things like cottage cheese for snacks.
But same goes with anything, if you want to stop smoking stop smoking, don't just cut down or do it for a month and go back, otherwise it just shows you can't admit the problem and don't really want to stop. Same with Alcohol
Me personally I have never smoked, don't drink except for on holiday. Don't eat a bad diet, maybe a few too many chocolate bars, but I work out 5 times a week, and have always been fit. I am a vegetarian, so have no meat.
The difficult part is the preparation and finding the time
I could go to the gym for hours every day and eat healthy food as well if I didn't have to do anything else!
It's getting into the habit. No matter how tired I am, i will go the gym at 7:30pm without fail.
Dinner I agree is the hard one, best thing to do imo is a meal plan, and then you can base it around your week.
To be fair the amount of time you spend on here suggests you don't have anything else to doJust kidding but yeah I get what you mean. I luckily don't have kids, so don't have that added burden.
Once you have to start doing the school drop off, collection, sort their tea, put them to bed etc it's about 7.30. Then they go to bed so I can't leave the house until my wife gets in which could be between 7-10PM. No chance I am going to the gym at 10 as I wouldn't be able to sleep and have to be up before 6 the next day.
If i had a set routine I could stick to it, used to love going to the gym at 7AM until about 8.15 and then go from there to work but can't do that now. The only real thing I could do is go out for a run when I can but I hate jogging with a passion so just can't get into it at all.
Yeah that makes sense, completely get it, especially with your wife working so late.
I am lucky enough to have my set routine, of finish work, go home eat, go to gym with the girlfriend, then go home.
In your case it is just about trying to stay active throughout the day, going to the gym when and as you can even if you just say ' 2 times a week i'm going to the gym' and then eating habits is just down to you i guess.

It's true that keeping weight off is 90% diet but I find that without the mental grind of working out I lose the ability to make the right food choices.
If I just spent an hour sweating like Jimmy Saville at an alter boy convention then I'm more than likely going to see pizza as a stupid idea that would wipe out my efforts.
your old man must have been a right fat git..if he has lost 8 stone in 6 months ..next thing you will be telling us its just from walking the dog :happy:Living a healthy lifestyle really isn't all that difficult.
