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!!

Subject of the Month - Sporting Moments

Sorry it's taken so long to get round to another one of these; rather than having no clue as to what the next subject of the month will be, I have had too many to choose from. This bodes well for future months (for me, possible not for you!).
So what do I mean by 'sporting moments'? In truth I'm not too sure myself, but I had to call it something! I both play and watch a fair bit of sport, and in so doing end up witnessing, hearing about, or in some cases participating in what I consider to be extremely memorable moments. They are in some way connected to me (even if only because it is something I love). I thought I would share them with you. To be honest, even if you don't particularly like sport I think they will appeal, and most of them will make you laugh.
Speaking of laugh, the first item under this list is a place I go any time I need cheering up. Do you have those jokes or comedy shows, where knowing what is about to happen makes you start laughing before it has happened? Well this does it for me, and no matter how bad the day is; it will always crease me up. For this elevation of my spirits, I have to wholeheartedly thank Chris Brass (anyone who follows football should already know where I am going with this).  I will not cheat you out of seeing it for yourself, other than to say that it was an own goal, and his nose was rumoured to be broken (or at least heavily bruised) during the course of what you see. It is footballing perfection for both the wrong and right reasons.
Now that I have set the scene; I invite you to google 'Chris Brass own goal' and enjoy. He was playing for Bury Football Club at the time. And once again, thank you Chris!!
