Hello Tilia....
>> ground you can take up cross-country skiing? I'm sure it will be easy to find people to loan you equipment the first few times you try it out.
Actually, I already own my own nordic skis and boots and ski suit.....I've been nordic skiing since I was a kid! Yeah, its a fantastic way of getting fit....plus its nice being out in nature, fresh air etc.
I get problems when encounter gradients of any sort....but hey, its fun anyway. Going uphill is the worst! You can get 'skins' but I'm not enough of an accomplished nordic skier to bother...anyway. I don't have my skis here anyway. And I don't know where the tracks are (although this is probably just an excuse on my part!) but where my mother lives, oh man, they have lovely tracks in the forest and later on in the year the lakes freeze and then you have miles and miles of gradient free track...ahhhhh. And th e lake thing is totally cool because they council officially opens the 'track' so you know you're not going to be skiing with the fishes.....
Anyway oh well. I like downhill skiing, although its a bit fast for poor old nordic skiers like me. And you can't move your foot in the binding. Ah geesh its too fancy for me! :o)
Anyway good luck with the diet (again!) another tip - don't totally ban anything, otherwise you'll just crave it. And if you do eat something 'bad' and you didn't want to, just make sure the rest of the day is healthy or just ignore it, or something but don't use it as an excuse to keep on eating 'bad' stuff.....anyway you probably know all this...... its the head thing. i've often thought that who ever writes a book re: CBT stuff and 'diets' will be a millionaire..... its probably already been done through.
Kind regards Meri
