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!!

13 days to go....Subject of the month......Words

Words are powerful things aren't they? They communicate, they inspire, they teach, they wound, they stir the emotions, they can make us fall in love, they can make us fall out of love. They can explore the deepest reaches of our imagination. I am typing these words now, and you are reading what I am saying. That is so cool. How great words really are!!

So for the last subject of the month, as we near the end of the entire journey and the sad end of our blog relationship, I think you deserve to know the words which mean the most to me. We have spent so much time together that it is time you got to know me that bit better; better than most people who I see on a regular basis and claim to know me in fact!

They may be contained in a sentence, they may be a whole passage; but I hope you see why they have become part of me, and I hope that you feel something of what I feel when you read them!!
