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!!

International!!

It's quite exciting having a look at the 'stats' section of this blog (for writer's eyes only, sorry) and seeing the countries from which people have had a look. Now ok, they may have stumbled on here looking for the person who is trying to lose weight in order to secure a position as a butler (Fat Man To Footman), or the fella training to be an assassin (Fit Man To Hit Man), or even the bloke who heroically fought back to health after a piano fell on him (Flat Man to Fit Man); but on the off-chance that some of them are - and will hopefully remain - genuine readers, I would like to say.....

Здравствуйте и добро пожаловать в мой блог (Russian, I hope)

Hei ja tervetuloa blogiin (Finnish)

Sveicināti un laipni uz manu blogu (Latvian?)

Hallo und willkommen auf meinem Blog (German)

Hello and welcome to my blog (American)

Howdy! welcome to ma blog y'all (Alternative American......sorry, couldn't resist!)

......the weigh in tomorrow could be a tricky one I think. Did play a badminton match on Friday (very good work out), so that is on the plus side, as is the fact that I haven't succumbed to the dreaded takeaway. I just haven't been hugely focused on the diet though, plus I still think that last week's weigh-in was exceptionally and unusually low. Not counting my chickens yet, but I have a pretty good idea of how many I have! 
Foot is a lot better though, so I should be able to give it a trial run before Christmas, by going to the track for a....err.......trial........run.......
