Sunday Start !

Ok I have started today the much promised fitness campaign. Its not going to be easy but here goes.

happy days !

Tears.

I sit here crying as I look at the state I have got myself into. My weight is 20 stone and its breaking my heart. I need to find an answer before its too late if indeed it isn't to late already !

10 challenges.

Ok In the next 12 months I am going to lose 8 stone. Fact. None of this I am going to lose weight slowly or take it easy I am going to go hammer and tongs at my new hobby. Its going to hurt, there will be tears and their will almost certainly be setbacks because life does that to you ! I have set myself some targets as I go on for the next 12 months. Some might seem simple to you but to me they may as well at this point be 12 attempts to climb Mount Everest.

5 k race
Simply to be able to run without stopping for 5 kilometres.

Windsurfing lesson
Its a bit old hat now in this day and age of kite boarding but I will have a go at this hopefully in September.

Dirty Mudder
One of those dirty obstacle races where its tough and you erh get covered in mud.

Get back to David fairlamb boot camps
I have never met a more positive, active and buzzy individual as David. Let him down a bit when I played at my weightloss game last year.

Walk up Simonside
Did it as a child and going to do it as an Adult.

Bike to Bamburgh
Just because I can.

Rock climbing lesson
To exercise the demon I have of being scared of heights.

Canoe lessons
Love to go an Kayaking trip in North America one day.

Adventure Holiday in November
Maybe cycling trip to Cuba !

Open water Swim
Just to exercise another fear I have

Walking and Camping Trip
A Trip with me mates to celebrate are 46 years on this planet.

Walk around Kielder Water.
Another day out.

I think that will do for starters.

Set Backs and sorrow !

Just when you feel positive in your life to take on the Evil Fat Witch and burn her sorry ass, you get a set back that really knocks you to the ground. I don't want to mention to much about the deeply sad loss I had in May just before I was ready to leap into action because its still so painful. I will say after my time of grieving I feel ready to have another go at my weight loss effort. Lets go.

Hello World !

The Scales creaked at 20 stone and the voices inside and outside my head started to tell me in no uncertain terms that after 45 years of being obese we are on the final countdown to doing something about it and therefore tomorrow May 12th 2014 the hard work starts.
