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!!

Hmmmmmm......not sure.....

Really can't judge what tomorrow's weigh-in will bring, bit nervous. On the negative side I haven't been monitoring my meals that closely, and there has been the odd wobble (bit too much margarine on the bread, bit too much on the plate); in addition, the week off has lead to more than a bit of lazing around. However in the plus side, there have been no takeaways, no significant sins and no booze; plus I did a six and a half mile walk in the Lancashire countryside.......which turned out to be nearer seven and a half..........when I got lost!
I will be angry with myself if I have put on more weight (let's face it....who else can I be angry at??), as it essentially represents a failed week. I know I will bounce back if the worst happens (eventually I believe that I will bore myself so stupid with the 'one meal at a time, one day at a time' inspirational talk, that I will actually start the practice along with the preach), but if it's all the same to you I would rather not have to.
Keep your fingers crossed, and by the way; happy birthday Wee Ali!
