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.

take care of yourself @Shaz51 
@Bunniekins thanks heaps for the vid, I love, love the Cure! Yeah the forest was exactly like that. Robert Smith is a legend, I stayed up late the other night watching a Cure special on Rage (you know that ABC music video show?), it showed their early work with him looking so young with no make-up, he's so vulnerbale & sexy.

@Shaz51 @BryanaCamp @Bunniekins @Ant7 Good morning. Going to do household stuff, may be a walk and coffee. Feeling a bit fragile. Family trauma are bad. Hope to get a bit better when out. Thanks for care and support.

hi gang @Bunniekins @Queenie @Meowmy @Shaz51 @Ant7
Very happy i got up early and did a 10km hike today. Into the woods we go...
I'm hoping my fitness will eventually improve so I feel energised after exercise rather than pooped. Have a good day everyone
