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.

Sorry @Bunniekins was not ignoring you last night. We had an electrical storm here just after my last message so I turned off the computer. Had a near miss with the computer in September when lightening hit the powerpole next door and nearly killed my computer, so I was not taking any chances.
Yes I love Kahlua too. I got two bottles of Baileys for xmas and I did say to everyone no junk food this year, but no one listened to me lol.
I am very proud of you in not having pizza and having salad instead. Will power can be so hard sometimes. I need to get my act into gear bigtime.

@Scarecrowe Hey Scarecrowe np I didnt think you were ignoring me 🙂 but thank you. I know what you mean about junk food son2 brings home goodies when he has been out with his carer (donuts, bickies etc) I have decided I just have to either say no or say yes to some then wait until he has gone into his room and wrap them up and stick them in the bin ..... I just cannot keep going like this and to be honest I woke up this morning and felt the best I had felt in ages.
Are you dressing up tonight'sparty?:)
