So......what does everyone do and when does everyone start exercising as I know I need to exercise
Hiya Hon

My own personal thought is to start on day 1 (even if its 5 minutes on my lateral thigh trainer), as not only does that make me realise its not so bad..(as I'm not a huge exercise fan), but it often prompts me to do another 5 minutes. Plus the more exercise you do, the quicker you burn those unwanted carbs. Then when I get the induction flu (round day 3 and 4) I too, dont' do much as I feel really crap and lethargic. But as soon as it leaves, I force myself to get going, again, I just say only 10minutes.. and then at least if I do 10minutes i don't feel like I've done nothing, and then the next day I say 13minutes..
(often I find I start feeling so good I continue and do much more.. which makes me feel doubly good about myself)

Get going slowly.. take baby steps and get them out the way.. then the rest of the day is yours. Its amazing how good you will feel afterwards
