No running but did 5km in 59:05So my current goal is to be able to walk/run 5Km in an hour.
Well done Mr.Badger and keep it going forward. You will be the winnerPast 2 weeks has seen no extended walks. Avg steps/day is down to around 2500.
Today I resumed the grind.

Weight is still at 17st 6lbs which although I think the BMI weight scale is nonsense, it now says I am no longer obese.
The hip is much improved and now is just a mild ache.
Couldn't agree more with partaking in activities instead of exercise but, recommending people to look into the sun seems very dangerous to me. I read that article, written by a content provider and checked over by a doctor (PhD not M.D), who lists all the proven dangers and side effects right after all the unproven benefits. I would have thought that writing the dangers first would make more sense.While adhering to paleo a good while ago, when it came time to softening the somewhat rigid sustinance and exercise regime I found 'The Primal Blueprint' to be really useful ... not least written by a former athlete who realised that his professional career had both made and ruined his body, and he still had the rest of his life which should not revolve around routine eating and exercise.
One of the biggest takeaways for me was his take exercise < no ... activity. Activity, not exercise.
Move around a lot. Pick things up, put things down. Bend and stretch. Every day ensure that you get the heartrate really moving and once a week push yourself so that you are completely out of breath.
... a daily walk is where it's at, which by the sounds of it is exactly what you're doing. That is something you can continue to do even when goals are reached or you are happy with where you get to. Find a good incline and use that for your daily heartrate increase. You get your sun-delivered vitamin D on a walk as well. Fun to stop and sungaze, too - some guidance: https://www.allaboutvision.com/eye-care/eye-health/sun-gazing/ < some science behind it cleansing your pineal gland, which you can look into yourselves. I find closed eyes (not tightly) to be more comfortable.
I well understand well that daily physical activity should be present in everyone's life, but what to do when it's too cold outside? I just can't bring myself to do it, and I haven't bought a treadmill yet. I need to work on my willpower, dress warmer and still walkWhile adhering to paleo a good while ago, when it came time to softening the somewhat rigid sustinance and exercise regime I found 'The Primal Blueprint' to be really useful ... not least written by a former athlete who realised that his professional career had both made and ruined his body, and he still had the rest of his life which should not revolve around routine eating and exercise.

I have done intermittent fasting in the past and found it really helped. It is a very rare thing that I eat anything other than rubbish in the evening and so to cut that out entirely made my diet a lot better.Hey so whos doing intermittent fasting, water fasting or extended fasting?
