I'm sure I read somewhere that just thinking about exercise makes your muscles stronger.

Off to google...

Edit: Thinking about exercise 'can beef up biceps' - Telegraph


In my case I reckon just thinking about chocolate makes me fat...

Mmmm?

You sure it wasn't Men think about sex just 19 times a day - nearly as much as food - Telegraph

I'm thinking of going to the gym, but am actually going to the pub instead.

Remember to alternate the arms when lifting your pint.

It always amuses me the number of people who drive to the gym and then park as close to the door as they can.

I stop going to the Gym in Jan for the same reason. Too many people.

Couple of points.

1) Being unfit or fit is no measure of gene quality.
2) I am not training for the marines. Cycling and gradually building the fitness will do just fine. After all it worked ok last year.

These bloody fitness freaks that talk about going for the burn, and doing sprints / sets / bursts make me think of Jim Fixx.

Day 6 today. I am still off the carbs - slightly less craving last night. No exercise so far today - when I get home I must go for a run or swim.

I always weigh myself on a Saturday - tomorrow morning is going to be interesting! Thing I find about dieting is that nothing changes for 4-6 weeks - then suddenly I drop a couple of kg. Maybe the body compensates by retaining water?

Stop weighing yourself and start measuring your waist instead!

And yes, if you exercise then the body will retain some extra fluid in the muscles for anything between a few hours and a few days; that can easily be a couple of kilos over your whole body.

Not sure I have a tape measure that large. And the scales say "no coach parties".
