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.

Sounds good @Bunniekins and @TAB . Lets hope the waist lines co-operate as well 🙂 I'm glad I don't live to close to a bakery.
Your time starts, now 😉
Breakfast- Oats, honey flavoured.
Lunch- Chicken Noodles
Dinner- Steak and salad.
Snacks- Manderines and walnuts.
My doctor says I should eat walnuts after my latest blood test. Probably my least favourite nut.

@Bunniekins, re walnuts, something about healthy fats and oils. I wasn't paying much attention to be honest. I was a bit disheartened he wasn't reducing my meds as quick as I'd hoped he would. Feel like I'm hurtling at diabetes and an early retirement from life. Almonds definitely healthy one, not so sure about cashews. Like most things probably alright in moderation.
