I've got very lazy of late

Katek. Dr. Chris the Bondi vet is the Ant (or Dec) of I'm a Celeb, Get me Out of Here Oz style. It's excruciating. We watch every night. The surprise celeb is Freddie Flintoff.

Sorry to digress .......

Viruses which ended in a chest infection, plus the weather. Well those are my excuses reasons for idleness. Seriously, I do think the season has a lot to do with how so many of us are feeling. "Can't be bothered"; "I'll do it tomorrow"; I just have to finish this chapter..."

Thank god I'm not the only one! I've been so lethargic since my chest infection in January but I can't keep using that as an excuse when it's nearly March! I'm perfectly happy with my iPad, a steady supply of tea and Dr Chris the Bondi vet! Was beginning to think I was unwell......think I'm terminally lazy.

I seem to be going through a bread and butter phase [usually try to avoid bread].

Still not doing much apart from eating everything I shouldn't eat.

I've cleaned the kitchen ruby!

C'mon Tegan Up and at 'em girl! Get your shoes on, get your coat on, put the doggie lead on and get out into the sunshine. Up two three four. One step at a time and breathe in that wonderful fresh air.

Now, after twenty minutes, come home and drink your coffee and let the doggie snuggle down in her quilt.

Now I only have to take my own advice!

I'm still suffering from total laziness/apathy. Can someone give me a proverbial kick up the wotsit [please].

jeanie; I'm exactly the same at the moment. I go to a brilliant gym; for £19 a month I get everything..pool, gym sauna etc. I love going there. But, for some reason I either go a lot or just put off going. It only takes me 15-20 minutes to get there as well. Same with walking the dog. I did two really enjoyable walks last week and felt great for it but this week just keep procrastinating till it's too late to bother [dog is as lazy as me; give her a duvet and she'll sleep all day!]. The computer doesn't help [someone on here once described it as 'the time thief']. There's blue sky outside at the moment and I'm still sat here with a cup of coffee...

I had every intention of walking with the group yesterday but the rain came down in buckets, I'm definitely a fair weather walker.

Chocolate, how can anyone not like chocolate.

Listen to your body. I think your body knows what you neeed during the winter months. Mine needs chocolate and sleep.

Many gyms will let you suspend your membership for a couple of months if you ask.

I blame the time of year. I always feel like hibernating in January. But the days are getting longer now and the sun today is streaming into the house. My get up and go has come back and I'm off for a good walk shortly. Just hope we get a decent summer this year.

Hear hear! I'm sure exercise is not a winter thing and if you're keeping your muscles going around the house and with the occasional walk, you'll be ready to leap into life when the spring finally comes!

Ditch the guilt - you know what is right for you at any one time, and we all get a bit hibernatory at this time of year. I am deeply impressed with your house activities!

Housework is perfectly good exercise. IMO.

Jeannie99. Have you had your thyroid level tested?
Could be anemia or just doing too much. I am 71 and some days do not do very much, although always swim 3 times a week. I also find I need to sit down between jobs. Also, this is a very low time of year. Go and have some tests; it could be the making of a new woman!
