      Woohooo! I love no diets!

      I have a new addiction though... exercising. Its so great.

      Bike 1.5 hours per day about 3 times a week.. aiming for 5 days ha ha riding to work and back
      walk 2 hours day 30 mins in morning and 1.5 at night 3 times a week walking the dog after work..
      one bike ride or walk per weekend
      plus dancing in my loungeroom.. with my 3 kg soft squishy ball weights
      and some fire twirling practice in my kitchen
      Stretching.. god love it

      It is so good for the spirits!!!! God and Ive started going to bed really early.. I try not to drink alcohol or coffee... lots of tea and water...
      jeeze Im so boring, but I love it!!

        Exercise is addictive. I've just started working at a gym and am completely hooked. I've signed up for extra dance classes so I'm up to 5 a week plus rehearsals and a private lesson, and am dancing, hooping and lifting weights at home too. The only problem is that I'm eating about 3 times more than I usually do and my weekly shop isn't lasting so long any more.

        When I have some spare cash I'm going to buy a bike. I think it'll be just as addictive as the rest of it, and I won't have to catch the bus anywhere near as often as I do now.

            You make me want to go out and buy a bike right now :) I guess I should put one on lay-by so I actually commit to bringing it home.

            I'm not as fit as I used to be, but I'm getting there slowly. I'm hoping that I can build up my upper body strength, but stretching's much more fun so I tend to avoid the weights. I'm so lazy when it comes to anything I don't enjoy.
