If you are thinking that it is not a good sign for me to be blogging a day late from my Tuesday weigh-in, well.......that's because it isn't! Two pounds on this week, weighing me in at 17 stone 11 poonds.
In my defence, I have actually only put on 1.2 pounds, but the law of sod has pushed me over the half pound mark, so I am suffering from a scorching bout of roundupitis.
It has been a weird thought pattern since the weigh in. Initial reaction was 'WHAT?!! I can't believe it, and I have no idea what I have done wrong!!!'. Then.......'oh, there was that foot long chicken-in breadcrumbs subway which I had......with cookie and coke'......followed by a touch of.......'aaaah yes, I missed a morning of swimming at the weekend, and didn't go to badminton training tonight'.......then increasingly more sheepishly.........'I seem to have quite a few empty cider bottles in my recycling bin...' SO, what have we learned from this experience people? We have learned that if you don't do as much exercise, and eat more unhealthy things, you run the risk not only of not losing weight, but putting weight on.........well........deeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
So I am calling this weigh in, a week-off (the subway was particularly magneeeficent by the way, mmmmmmmmmm!), but it's back to work. An hour on the Wii-fit tonight, and ricey chickeny thing for tea. My halo is once again, hovering above my head. By the way, do I get another two bottles of aftershave if I get down to 11 stone 9 again?? Pleeeeeeeeease?????
On a more positive note, I finally managed to make it to badminton club last Friday, and each to a man commented that I had lost weight.....and yes, they said it before I did! I'm not looking for validation, but it's nice for my efforts to be visible. Just got to keep it going.
Will up the blogging posts now; and as a tempter, I have both decided the next subject of the month, AND my reward for losing the next 14 pounds (and trust me, you may be able to guess the former, but you are never in a month of Sundays going to guess the latter!).
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!!

Well A, I can safely say that when I noticed the day delay I feared worse than 1.2lbs!! It's not much at all, and easily explained. You're doing great, and getting noticed is a great affirmation. Keep going my lovely!
I won't even try to guess the reward - I suspect something in the movie direction, but it's going to be more way out than that I guess! You're going to keep me dangling aren't you ... aarrggghhh!
W-A x.
@Wee_Ali
Me? Keep you dangling?!!! Perish the thought..... Unfortunately although the thought has perished, I did think it...so dangle away!
All will be revealed tonight, and to make matters worse, I can confirm that it is NOT movie related! Mwahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!
