Question My new years resolution
As this is my 2000th post I thought I'd deviate slighly from posts about bondage and Nigella and be serious. Over the past few years I've taken my health and fitness pretty seriously and trained hard for various expeditions. Six months ago I was seriously assaulted and left with a number of injuries which have made excercise difficult both for physical and I guess psychological reasons. Now I'm overweight and my energy and motivation levels are at rock bottom. So it's time to sort it out. With the help of excellent health care professionals my injuries are well on the way to being fixed but I need to get fit.

I know there are others YDers who also want to improve their fitness and I'm wondering if we can in some way help motivate eachother. How about posting our fitness targets and if we didn't meet them, discuss amongst ourselves how we can achieve them next time? So I'm throwing it open to suggestions. Would anybody else welcome some discussion on this subject? Can we manage to get a YD celebrity fit club organised?

Fitness is certainly in my new years 'hit' list. I will make a list every week to include:
Weight
Km run. I have a fixed run and time myself comparing times later.
Km walked
km cycled
km swam
Dives made
I'm a firm believer of exercise to reduce weight, the problem is getting to exercise!

This is a fine idea Frosty, I need to do the same myself.

Yep, me (us?) too.
I have started swimming a couple of times/week, but need to step it up a bit.

Sounds like an excellent idea.

I was assaulted about 10 years ago and had 2 and a half years of treatment to recover from it. I found it hard to be motivated back then and still do now!

I'm in.

I've tried motivation but that didn't work so I've opted for sheer terror and signed up with two mates to do next year's Etape du Tour. I have very serious doubts that I can physically get fit enough to finish it but I am going to try!
Will start by setting up the indoor trainer tonight.

I can highly recommend the shag diet and it doesnt involve sea birds :-)
