.......82 days to go........
Day off from running today. I tell you one thing about training for a marathon, it really makes you appreciate rest days. It is absolute sheer unbridled bliss to have the entire evening to yourself, as opposed to the quickfire routine of workgetchangedgoforarundinnerbed which is much more typical.
So it's a bit of Weightwatchers tuna with instant mash (not perfect I know, but surprisingly low in fat), a bit of blogging, a bit of telly, a bit more blogging and thennnnnnn aaaaaa bit ooofffffffffff........zzzzzzzz. Tired boy tonight I can tell you; good thing, sign of an active life; or maybe just a sign that I am completely knackered.
Starting to really enjoy my morning porridge; I am still taking a break and fasting from full English breakfasting (see what I did there?!!!). Don't get me wrong, I eat well in the morning. Toast, cereal, porridge, coffee (all in the same bowl!!); but considering it's only a cup-a-soup at lunchtime I think this works pretty well. Anyway, the proof will be in Friday's weigh in.
For now my friends....night night and sleep tight!!
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!!
