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!!

Subject Of The Month - Philosophies

39 days to go.....if I start now you think I might finish by April 21st??

It's a strange thing to admit, but if you have stuck with me through the thick and thin of this blog (a lot of thin, but possibly with the thinnest yet to come!), whether you know me personally or even if you are a total stranger, you are still a member of the group of people which know me the best; better even than many people years of my acquaintance (who don't tune in to this blog). What you've read on here is pretty much me in words; my character, my moods, my personality, and at times even my soul. If you've made it this far, I salute you; you are certainly made of stern stuff!

The story so far has been a scary ride; but you ain't seen nothing yet, as we are about to delve deeper into the psyche that is.....well.....me! Don't get me wrong, I don't spend every waking hour in deep thought (or every sleeping hour in deep dream for that matter), but it's impossible to reach your fortieth year without having one or fifteen deep-set opinions on life, the universe and everything (forty-twoooooo!!) and what's a blog for if not to share them with you lovely people? It's a calculated risk, as I think I can trust you........

......can't I???

So why am I doing this? Well, to be honest I am running out of things to write.....

....kidding......kidding.

Naaah, anyone who knows me - and if you are reading this, that does mean you! - also knows that words are not things I am short of. I'm not sure about talking the hind legs of a donkey, but I could talk for so long that they may fall off by natural decay (especially if it's a reeeeally old donkey........see I'm doing it now..... Anyway, back to the why. I guess, as this blog reaches its climax, I want to take this opportunity to say my piece in as complete a way as possible. A lot of me has found it's way onto this site already; but it's time to give you the rest!

So amongst other things, we are going to talk about (or I'm going to write about) life, love, death, and the pursuit of happiness. Stick around, you might learn something....even if it is that I am stark-staring bonkers (but surely you know that by now??)
