Well here it be!! Santa is dusting off his sleigh; and Rudolph, Donner, Blitzen, Jim-bob, John-boy and Grandpa are having their last carrots before their whistle-stop tour around the world (anyone who wants a laugh - and anyone who has kids that haven't discovered it yet - check out Norad santa; it's brilliant, plus it is a cast iron way of getting the kids to bed before midnight!).......
Yes, I know, I know; I have slipped over the last couple of weeks. To be honest I think I always knew this would happen. I have spent six months watching what I eat, and being forever vigilant against overdoing it; that's a long time! However, as I have said in my previous posts, I have lost A LOT of weight, so I am not worried (and I am actually kind of enjoying the freedom of eating nicey nicey things without guilt). Knowing that I have done it before - and therefore can do it again - gives me confidence that this slip is not going to become a downward slide. I will be looking to the new year with a sense of real hope and determination to continue the job I have started. It is the start of the only full year contained in this plan, so let's get stuck into it eh?
Could I wish you and yours, a genuine and heartfelt Merry Christmas; may the new year be an exciting one for all of us.
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!!
