WELCOME

Hello there everyone, and welcome to my blog (hats off to 'Blogging for Dummies' for teaching this dummy how to....you know!).

I am overweight; make that very overweight. I think the technical term is 'morbidly obese'....ouch! Over the last few years I have had a few health warning shots, enough to make me realise that although there is nothing going on with my health that can't be reversed; my time is running out to do something about it before something really bad happens.

So this is my journey to health, and the plan is an ambitious one. I want to lose weight, and I want to get fitter; fit enough to run the Manchester 10k in May of 2012, fit enough to run a half marathon towards the end of 2012, and then fit enough to run the London Marathon in 2013, where the blogging journey will end at the finish line down the Mall.

I write this in the hope that the words and thoughts of both myself and readers can inspire me when the journey gets difficult, then hopefully people can be inspired by my story; believing that the most difficult journey is possible.

I make a promise to you that I will be honest - if the wheels fall off and I have six pizzas in two days, I will come clean - and I will do my very best. Share it with me.

......Wish me luck!!

First post......!

Why is it I feel like a guy who has invited all his friends round for his birthday party? I'm sat in the blogging living room, with lots of nibbles on the table, enough booze in the fridge to start my own off licence, and Duran Duran playing on the stereo; waiting - and hoping! - for people to arrive. There is a distinct possibility I could spend the entire time talking to myself.

BUT....I think the idea I have is a good one (see above), so we will see how it goes.

The initial weigh-in is tomorrow, stay tuned!!
