Current food/exercise regime

Leaving as a notation.

And yes, I can do this off the top of my head as I eat pretty much the exact same thing every day for breakfast and lunch. I have no control over dinner's content as Dad cooks and he cooks *tasty*.

Brekkies : 2x scotch pancakes with butter.
Lunch : wrap w/rocket + 3-4 slices salami or scrambled eggs + 2x tomatoes + bread roll/slice
Dinner : 2 helpings of a pretty solid meal. (rice or pasta, meat often w/sauce, veg)
3-4 cups coffee w/milk and 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1-2 ginger biscuits (or chocolate equivalent)
once-weekly muffin

1h30m fast walk (with bits of sprinting)
50 squats with a bit of stretching
2h20m jogging/week.

So that's my current. To lose any of current podge I'd have to cut out the biscuits and one of the helpings of dinner. (the coffee is not negotiable) Or up the exercise, but I am a lazy sod who likes to crash on the sofa with t'internet when I get in from work and it would take major lifestyle changes to change my exercise habits. I was doing mid-week jogging last autumn but that was because I was having to burn off major work frustration.

walk more? cycle to work? Easier to make a change like that rather'n take out a gym membership that's a) expensive and b) you might never use. having no option is easier than hauling yourself off the sofa when you're not in the mood.

The idea of cycling in London terrifies me. I do live somewhere with some nice cycle routes, but I don't actually have anywhere to store a damn bike. Walking is definitely a plan, though - I used to hike a lot, and the weight gain has mostly been since I moved back to London and stopped that. Apparently there's a local rambling group I might join, though.
