15:34pm It's going well so far. Must say I did have to keep repeating to myself that I am on a path to losing weight when I was at Sainsbury's this morning. I guess grocery shopping is still treacherous terrain, not the best place to go when you've just started watching what you eat. But it had to be done and so I did it and came out with minimal damages.

Speaking of Sainsbury's it was great to see so many blokes on the checkout tills this midday. I have to say a till with a man behind is always slower but hey with more and more hopefully doing it they'll soon learn how to do it the faster way. ehm!

Hungry? yeeeesss, nnooot really. But I did miss my biscuits before breakfast and the elevnses and craving them now with my after lunch tea. hmmmm, so that's what it was??? figures!!

off to get some proper work done then.

The Start!

Yes, finally I have started this ridiculous and mind you long overdue aim of finally getting fit. The target is one year from now (to be exact 05/05/2012), I will have shed the three and a half stone, maintained not only the weight but the excercise habits that I plan to develop along the way. One year and no going back. So readers, if you are out there: I need your support and will very very very much be grateful if from now and then you could look in on me and ask me how I'm doing. I will answer and I will be here each and every day writing on my progress and letting you know how it all goes.

One thing I won't be doing is probably sharing the name of the weight loss method because then it would just be free advertisement (and as although I am known at The Greenwich Gazette for my love all things free whether in giving or receiving I think this one would be too much even by my standards). I know it is a safe method of losing weight. Tried and tested. so I will refer to the weight loss plan as "The Plan" because ultimately that is what it is. Plain and simple. Tomorrow a new dawn begins and I look forward to where this journey will take me. I expect you to be there with me each and every step of the way.

Thank you all in advance.
