Okay, I'm going to keep this very low key; no 'hurray'.....not so much as a 'hip' (let alone two of them!). Three pounds off, leaving me at 17 stone 7 pounds. Proof that just being careful is still enough to get some weight off; I'm also starting to suspect that it is more than just coincidence when bad weeks coincide with drinking a larger than normal amount of alcohol (interesting journey this; the blog is helping me analyze what works, and more importantly, what doesn't!).
So I'm not going to make a big thing about this weeks weigh in; it is good news, but too much celebration will lead to another week of undoing all the good I've done. Instead it will be a smile, and a metaphorical nod of acknowledgement towards the success, and then knuckling down; getting on with the next week......I WANT THAT 17 STONE BROKEN!!!!
Going out for a meal this Thursday; could be a tricky one, but a couple of badminton matches coming up this week too, so plenty of opportunity to work up a sweat.
Let's get on with it..........
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!!

All good news ... so you're now nearly a stone lighter than when I last saw you! Good for you, and keep smiling, and being kind to yourself (in a long term sense rather than short term!). Thnx for the b'day wishes, had a lovely day :-)
