This is a tricky one. Remember me saying that the Wii Fit scales were measuring me too light, and the posh scales had me at 18 stone 9 pounds? Well the plot thickens, as the Wii Fit is now showing me as gaining two pounds, but the posh scales have me as losing two; now putting me at 18 stone 7 pounds! I have to pick one, and use that for this and all future weigh-ins (weighs-in? weighs-ins??).
Now, I know that the easy option will be to go for the scales which show me as losing weight this week, but for reasons I explained this time last week, I think it's the best option. So 18 stone 7 pounds I now am! I don't get that warm fuzzy feeling due to the difference of instrumental opinion, but it's no disaster either.
As I said yesterday, I didn't feel I had the best of weeks. Looking back, I knocked back a few too many beers in the warm weather, and last Tuesday I met my sister-in-law and had spaghetti carbonara, of which the main ingredient seemed to be......creeeeeeeeeeeeammmmmmmmmmmmmm. It was bladdy lavverly, but not something I can repeat if I am going to get where I'm going.
Could I just say; this is not as easy as I thought it was going to be.....
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!!

Not easy, but you are still doing well - on the food side of things and the writing. Enjoying the updates and insights very much :-)
And can I just say, that maybe spaghetti carbonara is not forbidden food - just maybe a large portion is forbidden. Don't want to make life miserable - life is for enjoying, and so is food. Learn to love salad! Hee, hee!

Wise words my sensay (probably not spellt that way, but what the hell....wax on, wax off, sand the floor). Wanted to run an idea by you, I'm starting to realise that only talking about eating habits and weight might get a bit monotonontnonsous. So what do you think of me posting more 'off-topic' blogs? It actually would still be beneficial, as I might still have things I would like to say without many/any people to say them to who will really listen; but it's not immediately relevant to the main direction of the blog. Think it might detract, or add?
