Always having been into sports (mainly football) you may think that i would have no problem keeping fit and healthy. However, with my parents moving house 5 times when i was young, i constantly had to give up things i was already doing and try to start again somewhere else. This was easier said than done.
I found myself just resigned to watching sports on television rather than actually taking part in any. This usually meant i was sat there with either packets of crisps or bars of chocolate.
I did gain a bit of weight due to this and was consious of the fact i did appear to be overweight. I was doing the old trick of pulling your jumper down to cover my stomach.
It was then i realised i had to do something to start taking care of myself. My best friends work had started a five a side team which were playing in a leauge at the local sports center. I started watching them play and they eventually asked if i would like to play with them. This was the first step in getting my fitness back and losing weight.
After completeing three years at college i evetually found myself a girlfriend. Luckily for me i found out that her dad played football 3 times a week, so when i went to stay with her at weekends i went football with him. My exercising started from there really. I became a member of the local gym and was going 3 times a week.
Having got my fitness to a great level that i am happy with, i am maintaining it just through playing football 3 times a week. I no longer go to the gym and do still eat foods like pizza, chips and drink beers. I am not putting on anymore weight and my fitness is still staying at a great level.
It just goes to show that you don't need to go to the gym everyday in order to get fit. Even if you just went jogging for an hour 2 or 3 times a week you would see a vast improvement. A little bit of motivation and hard work in your spare time is all it takes. It also helps if you can find an activity that you like doing.
