I am fairly overweight. I dont know figures, but in the realm of 14 stone and im only 5'2". Yes.
I walk daily as i have no car, and school runs are at least 2 miles a day, if not more depending if i do both school runs. Although i have to say, when i am actually with the kids, it is rather slow. No enthusiasm for school here.
I dont have much free time, have 4 kids so I have to do all my Mum and House stuff whilst they are at school, plus there always seems to be an appointment to do.
Despite the walking, i appear to be fairly unfit.
I have asthma so it can be a challenge to be out of breath.
I have knee joint problems so i find running painful to say the least.
I also have a lower back problem.... All of this makes me not want to exercise much or push my body.... And i tend to start getting anxiety if i do!!
I feel like i am in a vicious circle.
Food wise, i try to eat well. When pmt strikes it all goes out of the window though. I also have ibs so that means i cant eat tomato based food, bell peppers, spicy food, lettuce, celery, and acidic fruit.
Id like to lose a bit of weight, mainly try to shrink the belly and thighs and arms.
Can it be done on limited time? Am i going to be exhausted?
