Forty Fit & Fabulous

Let the countdown begin - May 20^th 2015. Tick Tock Tick Tock.

I have to get my act together by then. I have been telling myself for nearly the last decade that by the time I am 40 I will have sorted myself out. Well the 39^th birthday has been and gone and I am still on the treadmill going nowhere. Still - dare I say it -
Fat.
No excuses though.
Not moving enough.
Eating too much.
Not rocket science.
Not clever.

Not even fun anymore.

 

 

Facebook Entry - Beginning of Sept - Makes it real!?

Time to get my act together. No more excuses. Watch this space. No gastric band. No jaw wiring. No Tub Club. Just grit and determination. Getting some big help on board. #changeiscoming #releasetheskinny

I would now very much like to introduce to you all – My BIG Help. He is big! Mr Big (less Sex in the City Mr Big and more Big Help - just so you know!). Mr Big is Rob Schillaci (must ask him how to pronounce that – I want to do it with my silly Italian accent but not even sure it is Italian) from Crossfit Huntsman. For the record I named him Mr Big for the blog. He does not call himself that. That would just be wrong!

I know it is going to hurt physically. I think (ish) I can handle that. Mentally the battle starts here. Food is fuel. Eat Clean. I can say it all. Just have to believe it and as Nike tell us Just Do It.
The last couple of days I was clever - clearing out all banned substances from the cupboards. Brilliant! Genius?

Unfortunately they did not make it to the bin. Various ‘In Yer Gob’ recipes of Haribo, Cadburys, nutella, rubbish, pathetic and pointless! Why is that? Make the job harder by putting on a couple of pounds in the moments leading up to ‘The Diet’. BUT. Big BUT. This is not a diet. This is my life. Being serious now.

Clinically Obese – Check
Broken toilet seat because so poxy heavy – Check
Unable to look in the mirror – Check
Absorbing your life when you should just be out there enjoying it – Check
200lbs – Check (You do the maths for stones! Tonnes!)
Ashamed, sad and just downright low – Double, Triple Check

Now this is the point of the blog where I should probably put in a before picture. Simply not going to happen! Promise I will at some point but for now. NO!

I want to share this because although sometimes it feels like it - I know I am not alone in this battle. So I am logging it for all to see because this is really it. Forty Fit & F**king Fabulous (sorry for the swear word but this is BIG)

Hope you can all help and support me along the way. It is going to be BIG. #epic
