Blimey, this thing is really starting to work! 18 stone 4 pounds, to 18 stone 1. Fabulous!! Kudos goes to WeeAli, who has been over here for the last four days or so and has been ensuring that I eat properly. Although, come to think of it; while ensuring I ate properly, she ate a bacon bagel and a lovely (looking, not tasting......I resisted!) slice of chocolate cake. No doubt she will say she was testing my resolve, and may I say I passed with flying colours!!
Seriously, many thanks to you Ali, it was good having you over; and any time you want to be my full time nutritionist then please let me know. But your contract will not involve whooping me at Scrabble when I have a lucky 70-odd point start on you.
Anyway, enough of my failures, on to my success!! Just think, this time next week I may well be 17 (ah say, ah say, ah say.........17 ) stone something! I have not been that light for a long time (would be ironic if I was last lower than 18 stone when I was 17 years old wouldn't it?!!!!). The encouraging thing is that I have achieved this weight loss despite the burger on Thursday (and chunky chips.....mmmmmm!). Goes to show that it is not the naughtiness that ruins a diet; it's the resultant depression which leads to more and more naughtiness.
So it's an early - and rather smug - early night, after another impressively healthy dinner! Night night (I almost put an 'x' there, but I really don't know you well enough yet!)
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!!
