Exercise plan

I have been finding it hard to get back into doing exercise - when I was slim I used to run alot and do loads of exercise but since I have put weight I have been much more stop/start and finding it hard to get committed about it - running hurt my knees etc etc and there would always be some reason to stop after a few days. When we were on holiday over the summer we did so much exercise - going to the gym, squash, swimming, badminton that I really wanted to carry it on when we got back. Taken a few weeks but once a week my hubby and I have been playing squash - hard on me as he is very fit, slim and quick so I come out looking seriously ill! Also have just logged on to the 10000 club with the aim of wearing a pedometer every day and doing at least 11,000 steps per day. Feels easier to achieve at the moment than doing a dedicated exercise. The aim to do this for a few months then slowly start to reintroduce a few runs as well!!! Keep watching. did 12,000 today - an hours walk across the forest and another half hour walk this evening with Monty - great to have him to accompany me.

Have just booked to go on the one day Beyond Choc course in October as I have to do a 1 day workshop before starting my course in April. Am looking forward to it as I always come away feeling re-energised and with self belief that I can do this!!
