Brittany holiday cottage with private swimming pool and gym

Today at the Brittany holiday cottage with private swimming pool and gym its bright and sunny again, so I guess we will be out for a walk again today. We only walked 2 miles yesterday but it all helps.

On the scales this morning I was 18st 12lbs so thats a 2lb loss in the first week which is great, its better not to lose to much weight to fast because there is a tendency to put it back on again.

I must get in the gym also today for a work out.

The gym is available all year for guest staying at the holiday cottages to train.

Brittany holiday cottage with heated swimming pool

At the Brittany holiday cottage with heated swimming pool we have kept chickens for the last 4 years and its been a great favorite for the children staying at either La Forge or La Veille Maison holiday cottage.

Chickens are very easy to keep, I probably spend about 5 minutes per day and that's it. My daily routine is to give them more food, check they have water, collect the eggs and clean out any droppings within the coup.

As the chicken run is very secure I don't close the door of the coup each night, that way I don't have to get up early in the morning to let the birds out which reduces the effort required to keep them.

When I first got them I did lock them up at night but found it hard to wake up early just to let them out so I stopped doing that and have had no losses.

We now just have 3 chickens in residence compared to last year when we had 4 chickens and 2 very large turkeys and now notice a dramatic reduction in running cost with chicken feed.

With 3 eggs per day its more than enough for us when guest are not in residence and plenty for children to collect during their holidays at the Brittany holiday gites La Forge and La Veille Maison.

Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym

The Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym is located in some wonderful countryside to enable you to enjoy walks or getting about on a bike.

So there has really been no excuses for my inactivity but to be honest over the last year I have gained 2 stone due to the stresses and strains of life emitting from the UK creating a lack of motivation to get of my back side.

This week I've turned a new leaf and Naomi and I have hit the pathways each day with 4 mile walks.

We have also changed our eating habits and stopped buying the ice cream, biscuits and crisps ( basically all the comfort food). We now eat loads of vegetables each day normally with roast chicken as a main meal.

We now normally have porridge for breakfast, then our biggest meal for lunch and then a lighter evening meal of either an omelette or another bowl of porridge.

For snacks it now oranges, apples or a banana.

My weight last Friday was 19 stone, the last time I was this weight was back in 2003, since then I have competed in a natural body building show in 2009 at a competition weight of 14 stone 4lbs.

My aim now over the next 6 months is to drop below 17 stone with a view of competing again in 2015 at a show weight of 12st 7lbs.

I'm not so concerned at the moment about hitting the gym so often my main concern is doing the cardio and training each body part once per week in the gym. Once I'm at 17 stone I'll up the gym workout to training each body part every 5 days.

I'll post once a week my weight and miles walked each week to show my progress.

The great news with living at the Brittany holiday cottage location is that there is the on site gym so its very easy to keep the training up once the motivation kicks in.

Guest staying at either La Forge or La Veille maison have access to the gym during there holiday.

Brittany holiday cottage with heated pool

Over the years quite a few guest staying at the Brittany holiday cottage with heated pool have headed down too the coast for a spot of shore fishing.

For me the best information to make sure you catch fish is to know the tide times and strength of the tide, to that end click here to see the local tide times.

Guest staying at either La Forge or La Veille maison Brittany holiday cottages are more than welcome to borrow a beach caster and reel.

With the October half term finished guest staying at the Brittany holiday cottage with private pool and gym left last Saturday morning after enjoying a week at the holiday cottage.

At just £350 for a family of 5 the holiday cottage is great value for money with the addition of the Brittany ferry discount.

The guest enjoyed the markets at Aurray and Vannes during their stay and popped down to the coast with plenty of  bike rides in the surrounding countryside.

As you can see from the enclosed picture the holiday cottages La Forge and La Veille Maison are situated in stunning countryside where you can enjoy riding a bike or going out for some lovely walks yet just 3 miles from the market town of Baud with all its amenities.
