30 Days of writing: Day 29
One more day to go and I made it all the way to thirty days. Hooray for me finally finishing something. Wait, better not start crowing too soon or I’ll break all my fingers and be unable to type tomorrow 
.
So, I have noticed (and so has Jen) that I am starting to get a bit chubby around the midsection. And I re-discover fairly frequently that I am very unfit (normally when running for the train in the mornings…). I’m not sure how to get out of this dilemma though, because I don’t have much time to go walking or whatnot, as when I’m home I want to be around Jen and Mat (who goes to bed at 7) and not out wandering the streets.
I used to go walking at lunchtimes while at work, but then I found myself getting back and being all sweaty and stinky and wanting to go to sleep and not work (not that that is too much different to normal but…). So what do I do about it?
I’m kind of starting a diet, with eating less snacky foods during the day, and smaller serves of food at meals. This is cool, except I don’t really eat too many snacks anyway, and Jen cooks really nice food…
We go for walks when we can, and hopefully as it gets warmer we’ll get to do more of this.
Any suggestions as to how I can lose weight and get myself fit again would be greatly appreciated. Any cheap ways to do it while not having to work-out or eat less would be even better.

Sorry champ.
In my experience the secret to weight loss is to eat less and exercise more. So the eating less part is good, but you may need to figure out how to exercise more. My only suggestion is getting up even earlier than you already do and going for a 20-minute jog.
Or, lots of people seem to do the lunchtime gym thing. But they’re expensive and gym-like.
I’m going swimming at Milsons Point again now. The coolest thing is swimming down the lane and glancing up and thinking “Oh… there’s the harbour bridge.”. I find swimming next to a national icon to be novel.

lol
i can understand why that would be novel to you,
um well ian you can always do the aluitius diet like me
i had to break it last night sadly…..stupid hospital….grrrr
but yeah i’m doing well and people are starting to notice to.
eat lots of vegies, especially celery (without peanut butter) celery burns more calories than it has, so its really good, i don’t know what else you could do, i’m a bit sluggish on the exercise part….especially now grrrrrrrrrrr!
