I can't believe it's a diet!
Enjoying fitness and not doing it is just not good enough! I haven't walked properly for ages, I haven't been to gym and here I am saying that I'm enjoying the fact that I might participate in some fitness program in the future! I must be crazy!
I eat really healthy food but I add to it - and add and add ...... . The time has come (once again) to be realistic (although going on a diet is about as unrealistic as you can get) and realise that I need a shove to get me going. So I went into the chemist and joined a weightloss program - I know, I'm disappointed with me too! I now have to drink the dreaded 2 litres of water a day and cut down on coffee and tea and not have bread, potatoes, pasta and rice! I've bought enough supplies for two weeks so I hope I can be strong. I am allowed to have a normal evening meal (minus the potato, pasta or rice) so I guess I'll be hanging out for that every day! Anything is worth a try to get my body used to smaller portions (I think)!
I really am doing it for my health - I'm not vain, I don't need to go down two dress sizes before my daughter's wedding! And I'm going to present myself at the gym for a cycle class tonight - knees will have to behave. I took a dose of fish oil today (revolting but worth a try) so all in all I'm ready to go. Pedometer is back on and I'm feeling motivated. I just hope that it lasts into tomorrow and even beyond!
I'll keep you posted

Never give up!
I have wandered through the last couple of days with little that counts as fitness - but I have enjoyed myself! The pedometer is not on me - I'm sick of seeing the numbers hardly move! I am back home now and tomorrow I will start a regular walking routine accompanied by some healthy eating - no more Christmas scorched almonds! I have been too busy today for all that fitness stuff but tomorrow........
I have incentive - my eldest daughter is getting married at the end of the year and I need to look my best too! Which means losing weight and getting fit and never giving up. You see, even though I'm sitting down and haven't done a lot today I know that it is just a break from my normal routine. I'll get there!
