Well, I have certainly dodged a bullet today. I suppose if I was rounding down, I could say that I was still 18 stone and 4 pounds. In actual fact the scales are showing me at 18 stone 4.4 pounds; which - taking decimal points - is a gain of 0.6 pounds. Considering what I did at the weekend (see previous blog entry) I will most certainly take that. It's not a step back; maybe a little backwards shuffle, but definitely not a step! I think I'll celebrate with a curry tomorrow night...........just kidding. Next Tuesday could still be a tricky weigh-in, but I have a week to remedy that.
It's half past ten, and I'm already in bed!! Surely there can only be two reasons why someone should be in bed at half ten at night; either because you are ill, or because you are not going to bed alone! Sadly I am feeling pretty chipper, and asides from Tedito Eduardo ( yes, I am a 37 year old man, with a teddy bear) there is no one else hiding under these covers (unless they are hiding very well). Nope, I'm just jiggered! So more supermarket insights tomorrow; but for now it's a very good night and sweet dreams!
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!!

Hey ... glad to hear that you are not discouraged - one takeaway is just that, one takeaway, not failure. You will get there, because you know your triggers, you believe in yourself, and you do have patience. Here's a Zen Koan for you to ponder ... to get to point B from point A, you need only be wholly at point A. Discuss!
Am planning on checking progress for myself at the weekend ...

First of all, I had to google what the blummin' 'eck a Zen Koan is. Without the aid of t'internet I would feel sure that they were the race of aliens which have just attacked the Starship Enterprise. Interesting though. I would add that if A to B is a particularly long journey, then make it A to Z and do one letter at a time! As for this journey, I do not know an alphabet that is long enough!!
