You've done a great job this year, I wish that more people could listen to your advice and experience and follow your example. You are right, gym is not the only thing that will make you fit and trim and exercising in the nature is a hundred times better. I personally stopped going to the gym about 8 months ago and I've never missed it since. Keep up the good work!!! Congratulations Andy!

Seriously, I've been through a number of resolutions where I said "this year I'll loose weight" and always went for it during January only to leave it half way through the month. Last year (well 2009, but who is counting) I started scouting out parking stations which were further and further away from my office. I know no one likes to give up free parking, but when you offset this against the price of gym membership for a week its more than cost effective! I went from 1km to 2km to 3km walking distance (so double up on the there and back again), in 2 months. Doesn't sound like much I know, but I was doing all this without having to pay gym fees / miss out on my lunch break / carry a load of gym gear around with me and have to shower. I was already feeling better about myself, so come March (and the first bit of nice weather) I decided to start running every Saturday and Sunday morning. Nothing difficult, just a 3km round the block kind of thing. The two months of walking had strengthend my knees and lost me 5kgs in the mean time. Long story short - by carrying on this I started to ditch every 2nd or 3rd walk to work and substitute it with a run in the morning instead (before driving to work and my nice close parking spot!) and on weekends increasing the length of the runs to 5,10 then 15kms without too much stress. The whole thing took me to September this year to get up to doing two 15km runs on a weekend. In the mean time I've dropped 20kgs (from an original 100) - doesn't sound like a lot when compared to what those exercise machines which you might have got for Christmas but I promise you ... it works!

I especially love #100-Practice media detox days. I watch almost no TV but am addicted to the Internet, so that sounds a bit challenging. I've noticed that my diet gets healthier and healthier as I grow older. Several months ago I gave up eating beef for a number of reasons. I don't miss it at all. Very well done!
