Forth Road Bridge

Today I’m in Fife for one of our Roadshows and last night we drove over the Forth Road Bridge, which goes over the River Firth. It is the most magnificent feat of engineering and of course it needs painting. As the saying goes, when you get to the end, it’s time to start painting at the beginning again, in other words it’s a lifelong activity!

It brought to mind the similarity with healthy eating and exercise. It isn’t about a quick fix just before you go on holiday but a lifetime of investment into good health and a fitter body which will serve you brilliantly for as long as you are alive.

In a week’s time it will be the Spring Bank Holiday weekend which somehow signifies the beginning of summer and we all become more weight conscious as we prepare to shed some of the layers and strip off for the warmer weather. Whilst it is good to have any incentive to encourage and motivate us into action, we have to take the healthy eating philosophy and more active lifestyle as a long term commitment and not just a short-term action, so we look good on holiday. It needn’t be difficult and a lot can be achieved by just making some simple changes.
