VOCABULARY
HEALTH AND FITNESS
1 Read an extract of Mauro’s blog. Does he lead a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle?

I love eating junk food and for years I overdid it. I mean, I used to eat junk food
every week and was about five kilos overweight. Not quite obese, but I was getting
there. Anyway, I went hiking with some friends, and I just couldn’t keep up. My legs
were aching after the first day and it was a bit embarrassing to be honest! So, when
I got back, I decided to start keeping track of what I ate by recording it in a food
diary. I realised I needed to cut down on processed food, like all those burgers I was
eating! I monitored the amount of salt I was consuming too – just to make sure I kept it
within a reasonable limit. And, I started exercising: walking to work instead of taking
the bus, that type of thing, and then, after about 12 months, I decided I’d like to run a
marathon. Yeah, I know! It was hard work, all that training, but I was really pleased
with my rate of progress and, well, I ran my first one last month in under four hours!
