Hello World...

So, you know when you look at yourself and realise that you have never lost weight, it causes a bit of a panic. Last year I started committing to my new year’s resolutions with 2012 focusing on sorting myself financially which I successfully achieved (woop!). This year (2013) it is all about my health. What is the point of having anything if you are not alive to enjoy it?!

I guess I am starting to realise that people must be serious about their health and this is way of showing the world I want to be committed. This blog (and hopefully the banter / dialogue I have with other members on here) should help.

A little about me, I'm 26 living in Bristol, want to go to gym 3 days a week (starting off with the Couch to 5K program and doing weights) and then seeing where it takes me. Might enlist the help of a personal trainer but need to start this myself first.

Work around the UK in a fairly stressful job but I can't let this hold me back. I have used this as excuses in the past which is unacceptable. I also work from home when I am not working away so I really have no excuse.

If anyone has any tips for me or any messages of motivation, it seriously would be greatly appreciated. Feel like a bit of an idiot writing all this, but as they say, a journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step.

This is mine.

Welcome!!!! Many have started here never running a day in their life, me included. If you commit and finish the program, I can guarantee you, you will be so much fitter then you are at this moment. You will also gain self confidence and a sense of achievement. I started for my health, after watching loved ones suffer and pass away, it was a great motivator. Now I continue because I feel so rewarded in what I have accomplished, and what I still want to accomplish. This Community is awesome! You can come here any time of any given hour and someone will be here to offer support, motivation and advice. Wishing you the best! Gayle
