The Beginning of the new and improved Brighty

Well it all started a few weeks back. I was sitting at my computer, most likely on facebook, and had been feeling really crappy for a few weeks. No motivation. Headaches. And fat, I had overeaten at Christmas, but it was more then that. I was 115kg, obviously it wasn't just the baked potatoes in one meal that had me where I was at.

I never planned on being this big. When your little you never think that you will grow up and be fat. You have many other dreams, and I bet there is not one that you imagine yourself being fat in. I only had myself to blame, however I could give you a million reasons why, but none on them are good enough.

So, I just got up and walked out the door and kept walking for 30 minutes. My shoes gave me blisters, so the next day I did it in thongs. I just kept going. I also started trying to eat a bit healthier and a much more sensible portion size. I discovered the calorie king website and started be accountable for what I was putting into my mouth.

Last Friday I weighed in at 109.8kg.

Earlier this week I was back at my desk, on facebook again, when I saw a post about 12WBT, I had no idea what that even stood for, a few clicks later and I was signed up. I didn't really think about it, I just did it. Even looking forward to it, so much so I went and bought the book crunch time and have started the workouts, while still keeping up with my walking which now also features jogging.

And you know what.....

I feel strong that I am making this change
I feel powerful that I have already made the changes to my diet and look forward to fine tuning these
I FEEL FANTASTIC


...imagine what it will be like at the other end of the 12 weeks, or even after 12 months.
