Day 1 of Keeping it Real...

 I decided on my walk this morning that I really need to write down my journey of becoming the new me! Now I wish this was the first journey I had started but the reality is that my health and weight loss journey has been something that has been up and down since I was 8 years old. Over the last 28 years I have been successful many a times in losing weight but just as successful in gaining it back plus some more. I know all the things to do and even enjoy exercise and eating well... I just do not do it consistently and have not really adopted all the changes in my life to "make it a lifestyle"... It is not all bad I have been able to keep my weight relatively the same for a number of years but that really is not good enough when honestly I need to lose at least 30kgs! So this blog is for me to write is all down in an attempt to be accountable to myself... I have tried to be healthy for others but that has not worked so I am doing this for me...for my healthy life! All excuses are out of the way, I have a nano ipod to listen to music while I exercise, I have plenty of recipes to make healthy meals... I will receive my new Thermomix soon to really only ever eat whole foods and I have a heart rate monitor to measure how many calories I burn... So this morning I have exercised for 45mins and burnt 300 calories
