absolutely couldnt agree more, if you dont enjoy something, it stands to reason that you will quit..

If you are empowered into a team or a social circle of friends with the same common goals, then it becomes a pleasure.

i go running with RAF pilots, USAF pilots, teachers, oil rig guys, managers, lawyers, locals (do nothing), etc etc...

I would advise running also, there are great running groups in Dxb and AD that have all abilities and no pretence whatsoever. I run with the group in AD and it is such a great experience. Lovely people, encouragement for all and not one ounce of anyone belittling others.

really recommend it in groups as some people find running alone hard work and demotivating.

last year i done 1 x 10K run (Dxb 10K in 47mins)

this year i am doing on average 30K a week and have entered 3 half marathons this year. Only because i have been inspired by others and also i love the challenge or competing against my friends.
yeah I've been too big for too long, just had 3 weeks unpaid leave I had to take (stupid work) and was skint so either went to the pool / beach or gym, also cooked a lot more healthy, still had a few beers on the weekend, a big steak and chips on weekend, big pizza the other but still dropped half a stone - you need to find a balance that you can achieve, not some fûcking stupid diet where you cut out everything you like and live on brown pitta bread and bastard cottage cream.

Be realistic, that's the way.

And shiva the 'be the best you can 80% of the time' is excellent as well, if you go on some mad diet or change you will fall off as you miss all the bad things.

I got 6 greggs pasties delivered to me a month ago and 5 are still in the freezer......(I'd almost forgotten about them!)

yeah but you don't work, you have too much time on your hands and spent a lot of it watching shite on tv - you need to get more active.

I am so I have got a friend organised and we are both going to Aquafit on Thursday I would have gone tomorrow but I have a previous appointment I can't cancel. I am really looking forward to the Aquafit it was something I did three times a week up until last year and then I stopped going. This thread and Commanders comments about doing something sporty but enjoyable reminded me of how much I used to enjoy it. I shall report back after the 'event'

For me, there's nothing in the world as enjoyable as turning up to Safa PArk on a Friday, meeting the other lads and randoms who turn up and ask to play, pick teams, jumpers for goal posts then playing footy in the blazing sun for 2 hours - I look forward to it all week.

By the way - if any of you lads want to come along and join in please feel free, we're at the big pitch near gate 1 at 4pm on a Friday.

GOOOAAAAALLLLLL!
