You know, I've met people who state with pleasure that the thing they love the most in the world is their bed. I always think that is a bit of a waste, as you can't get much done in life from a bed. However, right at this moment, I am 100% with them. I love my bed, I love it so much; I want to marry it and have little futons together.
I tried to get out of badminton practice tonight, but the guilt bone activated when I was told that without me there would only be three people turning up (not enough!). So I turned up, and what followed was 2 hours of hard, solid badminton. With only four of us there was no respite (five of you, you get to sit off one match in five); just enough time to take a sip of fluids and back out on court again.
Good thing is that when I first started the Wednesday night thing about a year ago, I made it through about an hour and a quarter and had to stop before I collapsed. Tonight I am absolutely shattered, but made it through the whole two hours. I feel fitter, and evidence like that is incontrovertible (oh, god; a word of six syllables at this time of night, I need a lie down...................hang on........I am lying down!!)
Anyway, back to the new love of my life. When I got back tonight, I didn't sit down, just made straight for the shower while my spag bol (Heinz, really could not be faffed doing it myself!) was on the stove. Then I actually made myself a dinner tray, and took it upstairs to my nice electric blanketted bed. I've had my spag (on toast) and am about to tuck in to my yoghurt. Don't worry, I won't make a habit of it, but could I just say for just this once only, that it's lovely (not just the yoghurt, the whole tucked-up-in-bed-having-din-dins concept)!!! If you had seen me lummoxing round on the court tonight, you'd know I have earned it!
Anyway, if you don't mind I would like to be left alone with my new fiance; two's a company and all that..........
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!!

Had to count the syllables just to make sure you were right! I feel tired just reading about the badders ... note to self, I really do need to do some exercise as it sounds like such a good feeling afterwards! Enjoy your new love ...

.....and you didn't once chastise me for eating my dinner in bed! Thank you x You are so right about the feeling afterwards, can't recommend the feeling during though!
