Exercise the OS way

Cookie monster,

To help you with your OS weight loss journey, why don't you turn this into a diary of the OS exercise you did each day.

That's a great idea. You could maybe get others to join in if you wanted and swap OS methods of exercise. I know theres a diet thread but this is exercise right?!

Good idea about the hot water bottles. Id rather associate mine with heat and comfort

:eek: Not hot water bottles. :rolleyes: Drinking water bottles. Should have made myself clearer.

There is an exercise thread on here but its probably a bit too hard core for what Cookie_monster is looking for.

Ohh now I am spooked - I have just gone on map my walk and it came up with a map of the world. I randomly clicked on the UK and the town thatcame up was my town, ohh big brother is watching me!

I just tried it and although it didn't get my little town, it did get one of the two closest big towns to me!

I think it has more to do with google than big brother tho.

Yes Geordie joe you are right I just did it again and definately clicked on Devon - opposite end of the country and my town came up again - still I feel like BB is watching me or should that be google! Just as well I don't want to plot a route for my MIL, isn't it!

great thread. I am having a similar dilemma.
I have gym membership costing me £29.60 a month and have 3 stone to lose.
My sub is a good deal, it was during a promotion a few years ago and currently normal price is £40 which a lot of my friends are paying.
To walk into the gym off the street is about £7 a time.
Or I can pay an annual £30 and pay £5 a visit.
Either way I think I need to go about 5 or 6 times a month either way to make it worth what I pay.
Its all fine, and I go most weeks once if not twice, but each time I have to put the baby in the creche costing me £2.25 a time. So twice a week for the month is about £18 on top of the £29.60
Total cost £48 a month
The baby will be at preschool next year so then it wont cost me the extra £18.

I constantly think I should give it up.
It would be fine in the summer, I would walk loads with the baby between school and preschool trips for the other ones. And I can go running in the evenings.
Maybe I should just then pay to go swimming in the winter ? Wouldnt run in the winter cos its too dark at night.

I have a Wii Fit so I SHOULD use that and I have a couple of used-once exercie DVDs. I am not very committed at home though.

Oh oh just realised I can run in the day when baby older and at preschool!

I have also just realied that over the school holidays I dont go at all because DS is too old for the creche.

Right thats it, I have decided to QUIT THE GYM !!!!!!!!!

WOOOHOOOO Thanks cookie_monster for helping me make my mind up
You have just saved me £48 a month!!!

I go swimming a bit - the local pool's something like £3 a time - doing that twice a week is still cheaper than the gym.

I swim a lot too. It's worth asking if your local pool do a saver deal for regular use. Pay as you go at my pool costs £3 but instead I can actually get unlimited use for 6 months for £90 if I pay in advance for a swimsaver. Even if I just swam twice a week that would save me £54. As it is I swim much more than that so end up saving something like £400 a year. Most local authority pools do something like this. With some it is saver cards, others have loyalty cards where your 10th swim is free etc...
