Oh my God. Oh my Goddy God. Now here this, now here this. No doubts, no arguments, no ambiguity; I have officially and categorically lost weight!! I am now 18 stone 4 pounds (actually 18 stone 3.8 pounds, but I'll keep the 0.2 as credit for next Tuesday!); which represents a weight loss of 3 pounds. Amazingly, the Wii Fit scales (which henceforth will be known as the RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR) say I have lost four pounds (does it have a personality? so if you catch it in a bad mood it thinks 'he's lost a pound, and he looks so full of hope..........so I'll tell him he's put on two........MWA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAA!).
It's been a good week, but at the same time I don't feel like I have really been sacrificing. One session on the Wii Fit. I did try a second session, but my heart went a bit barmy after half an hour; my body's subtle way of telling me I'm overdoing it (don't worry, it was fine after a few minutes). No fast food, but I honestly have never had the urge to splurge and had to battle against it; I just don't go there. Something has changed in me on that subject, and long may it remain so I say.
Incidentally, I think it may be time to divulge my reward for the 1 stone lost landmark (17 stone 9 pounds). For some time now, I have been popping into Debenhams and having a snifter of either 'The One' or 'The One Gentleman' aftershaves by D&G. I admit I have never been one for smellies, but that stuff is great!! The adverts show Matthew Maconagheaaydyhy (whatever his blumming name is) bare chested. I think that may well be too far for me just yet, but for now I can at least smell like him even if I can't look like him! Up until now I have been denying myself as it is needless expense, but one of each is my reward. If only bloggers could post smells (smogs?) I would give you a whiff.
Roll on next Tuesday!
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!!

Cheered me up no end to read this. Well done!!!! And I think you should copyright "smog" - it's a fab term, and surely the technology will catch up one day (actually, I rather hope it doesn't - nothing against the D&G fragrances, but can you imagine skype with smell - wouldn't get away with being dressed and made-up, would actually have to shower as well!).
V. proud of you, my not-quite-as-large friend!

Thanks my dearest. I think I might be a good boy for the next week and a half and then feel justified in having something nice and unhealthy when you pop up weekend after next. Might even nip into Debenhams and I can give you a whiff in person! (I really hope noone takes that out of context.....) xx
