Background

Where do I start - perhaps with a summary of my "journey" (don't like that word) let's substitute it with efforts so far.

I'm going to borrow some parts from my other Blog (Wordpress) which will now be dedicated to just digital scrapbooking. On second thoughts just a quick summary here if anyone wants to read the whole story they can read it there. In a nutshell I have battled with being overweight most of my life.

On 1 February 2007 I gave up those dreaded cigarettes and took up snacking on anything and everything. In September I went shopping for clothes because nothing much was fitting me in my wardrobe and shock – horror I had to buy a size 18. This put me in panic mode and I decided I needed to do something about it. Well I did - I lost 13kg in 13 months and since then have run 10kms in the Gold Coast Marathon in July 2009 and a Pink Triathlon in October 2009. BUT I managed to put some of the kgs back on - now let's be honest here - I have put half back on. Hopefully some is muscle but not too sure about that. Won't know until I have another Body Composition done in Sydney some time next year.

Anyway on Sunday 22 November I attended a Craig Harper Renovate Your Body Workshop in Brisbane and have come back ready to lose what I have put on and some more to get to where I want to be and also to get fitter. My next post will have my new goals and soon a plan of how I am going to blitz them.
