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.

Bubbly pea, how are you going with the coffee challenge? 🙂
Pretty much the same as yesterday for Me. I'll probably substitute some of the milkshakes for meals tomorrow though just for something different.
Breakfast- cream honey oats. Small portion.
Lunch- Beef noodles.
Dinner- Salmon and salad.
Snacks- Mandarins and maybe a banana.

hi @Bunniekins @Meowmy @Ant7 @Gazza75 @Queenie I hiked 10kms this morning, a steep hike with lots of sweating. I finished in record time as I jogged about 2-3kms that was downhill. Here are some pics, I know gp enjoys them, of a fresh winters morning in the forest
Hope everyone enjoys their walking and exercise today! I have work this arvo so fingers crossed I haven't used up all my energy on my hike & will have stamina to work well
