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.

The IGA is where I get the rest of my groceries from @Bunniekins
Sadly our IGA is not all that big a supermarket but it does the trick. If I need anything they don't have I do go to Coles occassionally.
When you get to try a raw butter bean I will be curious as to what you think.
