Sound the guns, I'm off to Salute....

So no running happened yesterday morning as I went to bed too late the night before, and to compound matters I have eaten very unhealthy since the marathon.

It is what it is, so time to get back on that healthy eating wagon.

As mentioned before today I go to London for the Wargamers event called Salute, so there will be lots of walking - it will be interesting to see how much.

As also mentioned, tomorrow I will watch as much of London Marathon as I can, after my 10 mile run off course, and as I am doing housework.

I noticed a few days ago a BBC news item about some new research that exercise is not a key factor in weight loss which caused some noise but I understanding of it is that if you want to loss weight then you need to change your eating habits, and that if you have two identical people eating the same number of calories, their weight loss would be different because of what type of calories they are eating I.e. If it is high-sugar, highly processed etc then you will lose weight than someone eating vegetables, and healthier foods, and the bigger irony is that latter person would also eat more because those foods tend to be lower in calories than highly processed foods.

Exercise is still important in terms of your general health but if you want to lose weight, change your eating behaviours as well - easier said than done but we can try.
