Yep all true. And certainly I still do some core work in the morning (need it to wake both me and my metabolism up) and usually walk 3km (2miles) at lunch time. Evening is either some weights or swimming - just find it harder to get motivated to go swimming, although I usually enjoy it once I make the effort and hop on the bike and cycle over to the pool.

Truth be told, it's probably more laziness combined with that mid-afternoon metabolic lull. The other issue is that swimming was a long term competitive sport for me in my youth and I got burned out on it. At the moment it's a substitute for running as I've got a knee injury. However, as I said above, I do enjoy it once I get in the water - it's getting there that can be hard.

Oh and goals for me are fitness oriented - I'm not a heavy lifter.

Nonetheless, reading the blogs by people such as yourself, mukey, GG, Linda, etc is all added motivation for me to persevere.
