Being a big guy 150kg i have always hated exercise. I would rather read a book than exercise and im more a home body sitting my big fat bum on the computer rather than out walking ,but im forcing myself now to go to my local 24 hour gym which luckily for me is only a 5 minute walk away im lucky
Having just been disgnosed as type 2 diabetes im scared of going blind like my Doctor tells me, im scared of losing my job if my sickness gets worser,im sick of taking this medication, im scared of dying before 60yo, so i hop off to the gym walk in whilst everyone looks at the big fat guy ( they probaly arent but i think it )
Im actually puffing as i arrive at the gym as its all uphill walking ,anyway i stagger over to the treadmill and force myself to use it, i worked out to start slowly on the speed then increase it.gradually
I stay about 15 minutes after that im too tired ,do about 200 calories by walking fast,incline hill etc ,after that im sweating and thinking about getting a Taxi to the 100 metres to my front door.:***:
Plus another motivation is to lose weight for my next overseas trip in September , I remember last year i was on a flight sitting in the cabin at the beginning of the journey when the air hostess standing at the front shouts out “ Do you need a extendable belt ???
Well everyone in front turned around to look who she was talking to so did i until i worked out she was talking to me !!!!!
