Studying to be a Botanist (aka a Tree Hugger!!)
Well I have just moved to a house up on a hill, and at the end of a long day the only thing between me and my bed is that silly hill. So since I don't drive and unless I want to sleep in the gutter I HAVE to climb those stairs! A constant 10mins of steps. They are getting a lot easier only after 3 weeks and i don't even have to have a rest half way up anymore. Sometimes I even walk then 2 or 3 times a day. And yesterday I decided to walk to the hospital instead of busing, then walked to uni and back home (up the steps twice that day). I had my pedometer on and I walked about 12kms in total all day. So I think my exercise has increased as before I moved the only exercise I got was walking to the bus stop (5mins on the flat) or walking to work a few times a week (30mins on the flat).
Once I get used to these steps I am going to join the gym, as I get great satisfaction out of going to the gym, I feel like I am actually exercising IMO.
Also seeing a dietitian and have changed my way of eating. The problem I had before wasn't the type of food I was eating it was the portions I was eating. So I have now cut down. And instead of juice or fizzy, I now have flavoured green tea or other herbal teas. Also I make it my goal to drink 2 of my big (1.25 L) water bottles a day!
And because of this I have lost the 2.5kgs (5.5lbs) in the past month that I posted about earlier.
