Exercise: Back on Form

Back in December I listed some of the challenges I was facing.

Problems
1) Ice cream addiction.
2) Working a 60 hour week, with no personal time.
3) Means all extra-curricular activity, like exercise, has been shelved due to lack of time and exhaustion. 

Solutions to this problem?
1) Win the lottery.
2) Give up work.
3) Go and do some exercise.
4) Stop eating ice-cream. 
5) Relax

So, here we are in March and how far have I got?

1) I haven't won the lottery. I keep trying, but some other git always pips me to the post.
2) I haven't given up work, but I have slightly reduced the workload and applied for two other, less stressful jobs. Actually, getting one of those would be like winning the lottery.
3) I have started doing lots of exercise and I feel 3000% better. I can't tell you how much better I feel now I'm up and moving again. I must remember how crap inactivity makes me feel.
4) I have reduced the amount of ice-cream I'm eating, but not managed to give it up completely. I think I have a sugar addiction. There are times when it actually hurts in my chest. It's the same feeling like when I used to crave cigarettes before I gave up many decades ago. It's probably some sort of solar plexus twitch.
5) Not a hope in hell.
