Ok, I know this is a weird thread to start on a video game forum... BUT...
What do you guys do for fitness and health?
Example.. vegetarian? Any weird kinds of diets? Anyone looking to lose/gain weight? How are you going about it?
Fitness... any sports you like? Exercise regimes? Walking/cycling?
I myself have always lead a pretty healthy lifestyle. Having horses and riding/competing regularly kind've does that! My weight has fluctuated a lot over the last 3 or 4 years. My biggest being nearly 12 stone and my lightest being a shade above 9 stone.
So I was vegetarian for health reasons until about 3 years ago. Now I eat meat but I try and eat a healthy, balanced diet without too much fat or sugar... But I am sucker for sweet things. I find it really hard to eat only what I need to eat.
Exercise-wise I ride my horse daily for nearly an hour and I walk for about 30 mins a day. I also have an active job in retail. (We're not allowed to sit down, and delivery days mean a lot of lifting and running up and down stairs). I work one, sometimes two days a week on a yard with horses as well. To put it into perspective, I walk about 13,000 steps on an average day, but at the yard I walk over 30,000!
I'm really only starting this thread as weight has always been an 'issue' of mine. I' got to a good size before my wedding last year, but since February I've put on 9lbs!! I've lost 2 of those this week. And I want to lose the other 7 by the time I go to Greece in September. It shouldn't be too much of an issue, but I was just curious if anyone else here was dieting/getting fit/toning up/etc etc. and maybe we could encourage one another. :D
