Week 1 - progress report

Hi Everyone,

Last week, I decided to start a Blog and Twitter account to report my progress on my “Slimming Down” programme – I’m a woman on a mission – I made the decision to stop feeling sorry for myself and actually do something about it. I’m hoping that by me sharing my progress – up and downs – that I will encourage other women who too want to shed those extra pounds / kilos.

I’ve made good progress with setting up my blog and my twitter accounts …. but on the fitness side – not overly good. Managed to run 3 days this week – 2 miles – the target is to get to 5 miles, 6 times per week.

I managed to do only one training session with Gunnar Peterson – got his exercise DVD – for full body work-out on the swiss ball – so not very good on this front – I want to put in 5 exercise sessions per week on top of the running.

Diet – I believe that if you exercise regularly, as long as you’re not stupid – ie. burgers and chips every night with chocolate for snacks – you should be fine – but I suppose the true test is in the results….. so watch this space!!!!

Measurements – my husband said that if I want to really commit – I should put up my measurements, weight and pictures in my blog site - so that people can really see my progress – in for a penny, in for a pound. So I need to get that sorted. But just so you know what a sacrifice this is for me  -I hate stepping on scales – when I was a porky teenager my Dad would make me weigh myself – his way of making me face the facts – I was over weight!! Lovely – now you guys know why I have so much baggage!!!

Take care,
