Well here we are at the very beginning.
I've done every diet going. Scottish Slimmers. Weight Watchers. Atkins. Cambridge Diet. Every fad you can think of too. The juice diet that lasted three days before I caved and found myself shoving scrambled eggs down my gob while my juice was still in the blender - check. The so called South Beach Diet.(I mean come on - Aberdeen's nice but it's hardly Miami.)- check. Apple Cider & Vinegar Tablets which promised to help me lose 8lbs in but actually just gave me heartburn. I could go on but I don't want to embarrass myself.
Now I've pledged to lose three stone by August and here's how I'm going to do itL
1 - Go to the gym. This I have already begun in earnest. I joined the Nuffield Health Club earlier this year and I have started exercising regularly. I am registered for the 10K again and hope to beat my previous sloth-like record of 1 hr 12 minutes. Tonight while I was swimming I watched an aqua aerobics class and - in spite of the fervent flapping of a million bingo wings - it actually looked like fun! Next week I full intend to add my bingo wingos to the crowd.
2 - Attend a slimming class. I have started at Slimmng World and tomorow marks my first official weigh-in for the sponsored slim. I don't think any of us are going to be revealing out 'Before' stats just yet. However, at the end of the Sponsored Slim, not only will we reveal just how much weight we've lost, but also how much we were at the start. I know. Affa.
3 We are also going to keep this blog going so we can keep you entertained (probably) and interested (hopefully) in how we are getting on. Hopefully with your support and the promise of some money for Cancer Research, we will be spurred on to success. We've all got our own reasons for doing this. Me? I enjoy raising money for a good cause and will be taking part in the Relay For Life for Cancer Research in July. All money raised from the Sponsored Slim will go straight to the Relay total. I'll let everyoe else tell you their reasons for doing this.
