Its been nearly two months since I last posted a blog. A lot has happened in the last two months, and my plans have been side railed. My good friend Pat passed away, and that really took the wind out of my sails, then Kims dad was diagnosed with lung cancer which has spread to his brain. But this isnt the right place or time to discuss my feelings at this time. This blog was set up for me to track my fitness progress, and it diverted away to a sound board for me to gripe about life. So its time it got back to being what it was supposed to be.
I have done very little exercise lately, my diet has been poor. Loads of excuses, none of them valid. I re-read my recent posts, and have now got back on track with my earlier aims. I now feel ready to start again.
One thing I havent done with this blog is post any photos, so to change that I am going to post up photos of myself in all my glory, another reminder of why i wanted to start all this. I can then use it as a visual benchmark of where I started. it wont be pretty. But I think by getting it out there it will make me more determined to change. Another big factor is I will be 40 next year, and i dont want to start another decade out of shape. I suppose as I get older health and fitness become even more important, i need to keep reminding myself that!!
