I went to the gym today and struggled.
I wish I knew why my stamina is so unreliable.

yeah, it was hard work for me today, too
(not you going, mind, you going to the gym wasn't hard for me at all), but I did not do as much or as fast as I usually do

Depends what you've eaten in the hours beforehand, I always find
sometimes I can belt round my run-route no problems, other times it's killing me and I'm not even halfway round.

The other week I had a bar of chocolate at about 2pm and when I went to the gym I was great.
Eating chocolate though defeats the object of going to the gym in the first place.

The only reason I do any exercise at all
is so that I can eat what the hell I like. But yeah, if you're trying to lose weight, eating chocolate before you exercise is a tiny bit counterproductive.

Not that I think you need to lose weight at all!

I started more exercise out of fear
I saw my (size 26) mum out of breath after a very short, very slow walk. I spent the pennies she gave me for shoes on some trainers.

She doesn't have the metabolism issues I do either, so I thought I best do something
