I finally feel ready to do something about loosing weight. Some months ago I signed up for the GP referral scheme at the Uni gym with the intention of doing some exercise. Its been a long process as they do a whole body system there where they talk about nutrition as well as exercise and other things. The lady I see has been on holiday a couple of times and what with one thing and another I've not actually been in the gym for a workout.
But all that changes tomorrow morning at 9am when I shall be doing my first workout for about 12 years!
I've also started cycling the children to school, this week we managed 3 days and I worked out that I've cycled nearly 12 miles just going to school and back - wow!
Coupled with that I also joined weight watchers on Friday because I've found in the past that it really helps me to loose weight when I can meet with other people who also need to loose weight. The slight downside is that I finally realised how much weight I need to loose - about 10st 11lbs - which is huge. The upside is the new (to me) weight watchers website which has an online forum section where you can chat with other people. There's a whole segment for people who have over 5 st to loose so I've posted there and read loads. I've been inspired by one lady who started at 26 st and is now down to 14st on her way to goal.
With luck and some hard work hopefully there will be much less of me in the coming months.
I'm going to try and be good an post here each week to let you all know how I'm getting on. I may even summon up the courage to post some pics when I've lost some weight.
Catch you all next week.
Eve
