I've been on a very strict routine for a week now, not going too badly so far in terms of diet and nutrition, but need to up the exercise. Have struggled with the energy levels since having Covid really, and don't feel like I'm remotely back to pre levels. Couple that with being a time poor parent to little ones and largely wfh, I found I wasn't doing anything like the excercise I have always done in the past, which resulted in putting on some weight in the second half of 2021.
Just did a very aggressive 20 minutes of skipping. Such an underrated form of excercise innit, very efficient way of burning energy. |  |

Yea. Been banging on about it for years but decided this year i'm just going to shut up and get on with it.

Give fasting a go if you haven’t already G. Works very well. |  |

I have been thinking about getting a test kit from Prof. Tim Spector's Zoe start-up but they are not available in the United KIngdom yet...and they will probably cost over two hundred quid when they are.

I could ask if any of our Stateside posters have tried this but you know what response I am going to get if I post 'Has anyone done Zoe and how much did it cost?' |  |

I'm doing dry January (first time ever) and hoping to keep it going. my suggestion is make sure it is realistic...if you want to make changes do them slowly rather than full throttle in January then a massive decline. |  | | |

I’ve started a new job & am in the office full time so I’ll be eating a lot less than when I was at hone so whilst not on an intentional health kick I’ll naturally be consuming less which is a good thing! |  |

Not yet, currently on a snowboarding holiday in Austria so eating and drinking way too much at the moment. Starting back on the healthy diet next week. |  |

I've sort of been on and off the patches trying to kick the old habit but it's been hard so far. Easy enough during the day but after a drink and during Christmas? Pah, forget it!
Hoping to give up by the end of the year completely though as it's really not worth it in the long run. |
Break these into short bits, chew'em Clint Eastwood style, twiddle'em like a ciggy and the jobs a good'un! |  |

I'll do what I do every year, once I've finished all the Christmas food in the house, and look to eat a bit more healthily and lose about half a stone over 3 months or so. I try not to make a big thing about it, so don't ban anything or go too focussed, I just try and reduce the bad stuff and increase the good stuff.
As I occasionally mention on here, November and December are bleak for me as it just gets darker and darker and everything dies outside, so I tend to comfort eat a bit more and generally not look after myself.
Re the covid point, I'm currently on the back end of it, and the fatigue is killing me so I'm a little concerned about how that will impact on my cycling and football. |  |

Not really a health kick, as such, however, I am doing Dry January, as part of a year long series of challenges, raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, as a moral support activity for my dad, as he goes through treatment. I started in December, running 5k a day, and have a burpee challenge in Feb, the Liverpool Half Marathon in March, a 100M cycle ride in April, and the Yorkshire 3 peaks planned... so I'm going to be fairly fit.
I'm fairly active anyway, so I think the toughest challenge is Dry January! | |

Have you tried Allen Carr's book?
Worked for me, and many others.

For one minute there I thought it was by that annoying tit off the telly! But looks good, I'll give it a try. Cheers for the recommendation :) |  |
