I’m trying to get fit, healthy, sleep properly and feel like a human being again.

But it’s tough. I decided three weeks ago to get back in to an exercise regime. This is obviously coupled with trying to maintain a healthier diet.

The Gym and activity I don’t have a problem with, 4 days of gym a week and at least 1 day of another activity (mostly Golf) makes up my 5 days of training.

I haven’t stopped smoking yet. I’m working on that as we speak (by resisting the urge to go for a smoke right now).

The most challenging part of getting fit and healthy again is definitely the food. I love food. I’m Greek and it’s in our nature to be extreme. We love oil, sugars, fats, rich food, meats and anything that makes you feel like sleeping after eating it. This is a problem.

So I am trying to cut our or cut down on oils, sugars, fats and carbs after 6pm.

I’ll see how things go.

    Good luck buddy, It’s not an easy challenge. With regards to eating, I find it starts with grocery shopping. If you don’t buy groceries that include fat, sugar, starch (The bad kind) and oils, then you cant make meals that include them. I think they call it better choice buying. There are always alternative, healthy ingredients available. Also, make sure you have a decent non-stick pan, makes a HUGE difference – less oil, grease and grim, same result.

    Well that’s my 2 cents worth, good luck!

    Thanks dudes. It’s a tough one to keep up!

    Robin – Great advice actually. I’ll do exactly that over the weekend with my grocery shop. “Better Choice buying” – I like it!
