But the truth is that the rot set in a year ago, when I injured my knee skiing. Since then I have conceded a substantial decrease in regular activity and I have watched my girth gradually increase. I find it is now a significantly greater struggle, not only to actually run a couple of miles, but even to motivate myself to do it. It is a slippery slope - you use the injury as an excuse, both to avoid activity and to let yourself off that extra mile - even when the injury is no longer incapacitating. And, the lack of exercise means that I can no longer eat cake with gay abandon, so now I am forced to 'diet' as well, which is *bloody* miserable. So, something has to change. I may even need help from a behavioural scientist...Martin Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15782487735953192199noreply@blogger.com
