Introduction

The time has come... the time to do something about my weight. This blog will follow a journey; my trials and tribulations and hopefully successes with the battle of the bulge. For too long have I been a member of the Fellowship of the Flab.

I will be setting myself goals, tasks and rewards for the journey ahead to make it more interesting. I invite you to follow my progress and support me during the hard times and laugh with me during the good times.

Thank you, one and all.

Monday 4th January 2010 - Getting Back To It

As you will see, my last post was way back in November. Even though I started this thing with the best intentions to keep the blog up every week, I failed - abysmally. But the new year always has a way of motivating you to pull your socks up and start things afresh. I had not really fallen off the wagon so to speak, but just had not kept up with the blog. With the Christmas run up, I had not expected to lose any weight, but expected to put on weight as I didn't want to deny myself at Christmas. If you can't eat well at Christmas, when can you eat?

Now that Christmas is over and I am now only about 10 months away from my deadline, it is time for me to concentrate again on this whole thing. Last year I had not really delved into myself that much... although I did do a bit of thinking. I had ignored what I had wanted to look at - the root of my problem. I procrastinated so much that I lost motivation and stopped really trying.

So it was with a heavy heart that I decided to step on the scales this morning to see what the damage is. It was a great surprise to see that I am 14 Stone 4 pounds.... I have put on 1 pound in the last month or so! It is very encouraging (although I am aware the christmas tyre may be delayed a little).

We still have various things left over from Christmas and so will give myself another week to really get back into the flow of things, but wanted to post on here that I am back.

Picture for December

Back to the tasks - I missed the picture for December, but I have found a photo taken of me on 17th December, so this one will have to do.


Picture for January

Here is my picture for January. I have picked a picture of me when we went out on New Years Eve wearing a bright wig - I like the way I look in this wig (is that vain of me?) and so will be looking for more excuses to wear it..... I feel a fancy-dress party coming on for my birthday.

I will sign off now as I do not want this post to go on forever, but will post again soon.

Thanks for sticking with me.

Signing off.
