A Slimmed Down Version

Welcome to 2010, the noughties are behind us and if you buy into Michael Bay we have two years left before the world ends, probably not the best time then to become concerned with health, but that's what our household has done. Over the past few years the hairline has been receding while the waist line expanded, she of extreme patience has been moaning that the little black dress feels, well little i suppose & overall, to be blunt, we have let ourselves relax a little, i wouldn't say let ourselves go, but we have booked the tickets to go.

So at the dawning of a new decade it's time to do something about all this, with dread and trepidation we finished watching 'The Biggest loser UK' and cleaned out the fridge of everything, restocked with fruits i have never heard of, replaced beer with water and even dusted of those trainers that i purchased in an insane moment where i promised to get fit. That was all two weeks ago now and to be honest i don't know why people find a diet so hard. Ok i confess that i miss bread, i miss chocolate, but not with the pangs of a heroin junkie going cold turkey. Many people i have spoken too tell me that a diet is too hard, that your not really living if your going without, that's crap too be honest, they just don't want to loose the weight.

I have found that I'm not hungry, i don't need the things i miss and at the end of the day 3.8kg in a week is enough inspiration to just keep going. Two weeks in I'm feeling good, I'm even contemplating the gym for some good old fashioned cardio work outs to keep the weight moving and get my fitness back. All of this new found positive outlook has me thinking about the negative way i was living last year & how that impacted on all aspects of my life. So I suppose other than to boast about 3.8kg in a week, yes that's one week, my post today is more about lifestyle, about attitude, about the fact that anyone, yes anyone can loose weight, feel better and trust me that has a bog impact on parts of your life you wouldn't have imagined it could. I'm off for some celery and half an our of step ups, be well, a happy new year, it certainly has started out that way for me.
