For the last 3 months I have been doing an average of at least 30 minutes moderate exercise a day and cut down on my food. I have just started "couch to 5K" (in week two) and guess what - Blood Pressure up, Blood Sugars up (so insulin increased) hence Weight Up and Up. Has anyone else experienced such a depressing outcome and why shouldn't I just give up eating less and the exercise because I am getting more and more depressed?
