No weight loss, crap! Still 18 stone 7 pounds
I've heard all the platitudes. "At least you haven't put any on", "it takes your body a couple of weeks to adjust to a healthier regime" and my personal favourite "those scales aren't very accurate, they always register too high". They are meant well, but the bottom line is that I have tried hard this week, and it hasn't worked.
So what happens now? The urge is to do the one thing which a man on a regime change like this should never ever do; comfort eat. It is a great irony that an effort to lose weight can result in an actual weight gain through over-eating.
The urge is there, but I refuse to give in to it. Have no illusion, I am pretty upset; tonight is certainly not one of my best, but I am here to do a job and I will see it through. Even if next week there is no change, and the week after, I will get there I promise you; I promise me.
So it's time to be even more vigilant, time to make sure I DEFINITELY go to the badminton social night this Friday and work up a sweat (missed the last three), and time to chuck out the humus and pesto (just had a look at the containers, do you know how much fat there is in those things??). Possibly I have not been eating quite as healthily as I thought.
In short, I'm not giving up.
Right, I'm off to water my geraniums.....
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!!

Keep going mate ... it will take time. Most important thing you said in your post - you promise yourself. You are worthy of effort, and you will get there - I've known you a long time, and never known you to not give 100% to things.
Good luck, and keep smiling :-)
Ali.
