Looking At My Holiday Photos

I've just got home from the Dorset camping holiday and one of the first things that I always like to do is look at the photos....I'm totally ashamed of how I look.  I have a moon face and I don't look like me anymore.  I hate the way that I look now and it's not healthy either.  My back aches, I have no energy and I feel tired all the time.  So this is going to be a log for me of my 'get fit' journey.  No more faddy diets, I'm going to join a slimming club so that I can monitor my progress and get some help from others in the same boat as me.  The most important thing that I'm going to do is EXERCISE.... There is no way I'm going feel better about myself if I don't get fitter and look after myself.

This is a picture of me and my family on holiday, I should love it but I don't I hate it... what has happened to me?  I feel like I want to cry but I'm not going to I'm going to do something about it.  I ran a marathon 6 years ago and I'm going to do it again.  I'm not going to be one of those people who goes on diet after diet after diet for the rest of my life. I'm going to learn how to be healthy and what my body needs.  

I'm not going to be able to weight myself accurately until tomorrow morning as I will want to do it at the same time each day.  I will also add some pictures and measurements.  I'm not looking forward to putting all my pictures and weight on here but I need to do it for my own good.

The main rules that I am going to have to stick to are:-

• Exercise at least 4 times a week.
• Do not drink alcohol during the week, only at weekends and even then only in small amounts.
• PLAN AHEAD, plan my meals and snacks so I know what I have to look forward to

Well that's it for now, I'll post again tomorrow.
