The journey has begun. Today I joined a gym and bought some clothes to train in. I want to slim down and prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes. I thought I’d start a thread for my journey and start posting about the journey. Hopefully it will see an improvement in my mental health too due to all those feel good chemicals.
So, this is Day 1... I’m nervous but excited at the same time.

@BryanaCamp Hi BryanaCamp 🙂 looking forward to seeing the photo when it comes through my end :). 10 km's that is heaps well done. I was a lazy pea this morning and had the morning off (went back to bed lol) but that is ok had 2 hours extra sleep which was great. I am eating so healthy with the occasional tiny piece of choc curtesy of my son2 but in all honesty it is way better than it was in the past which is great.
@Queenie @Meowmy @Shaz51 @Ant7 how is everyone doing? :Dxxxx

morning @Bunniekins @Queenie @Ant7 @Shaz51 @Meowmy
I went on a 10km hike yesterday, quite hard work but I didn't feel up to doing the whole 16km circuit but 10kms is better than nothing. I had mega chocolate cravings on the way home from the bush & stopped off to buy chocolate then ate half a block last night! Here's a track shop, a nicie peice of bush
hope everyone is going well with their fitness. Well done Greenpea and Meowmy for your walking.

@BryanaCamp Great photo 🙂 do you have to travel far to do your hiking? do you have proper hiking boots or are runners fine? you never know BryanaCamp you might inspire the pea to start hiking would be good for the legs!:) ps: I love how you did a chocolate run on the way back sounds like me lol!
