I CAN do this
Thought I'd start a diary on here to try and keep myself on track!
I've tried Slimming World a few times before and also a meal replacement diet. On all these attempts I've managed to lose some weight and then it's all just piled back on again. However, during none of these have I had something to aim for. This time I have. A half marathon. At the start of my journey I was 18st 1.5lb and have so far (after xmas) lost 1lb. Yesterday, after deciding I was going to do it a short time ago, I took the plunge and signed myself up for a half marathon in October. For me this is a totally crazy thing to do as I'm so overweight and unfit. However, I'm hoping that with this to aim for it will give me the kick in the posterior to actually do something. My friend who is in the same SW group as me is also signed up and will shortly be joining my gym so I know she will drag me out training. I want to keep this so that I can share my joys and get a kick for my bad behavior that will hopefully keep me on the straight and narrow. So, all things being well the journey properly starts tomorrow!
