No more day one.

Well it's been a while since I posted here but I have been inspired by a friend. And I am now the heaviest and most unfit I have ever been. Not good. BUT I am doing something about it. I have decided to take some leave owed to me at work (it's unpaid but we can't have everything...). I am hoping to use the next 2 months to start my fitness journey. Now I need to be clear - this isn't really about drastic weight loss (although I won't cry if that is a happy side effect). This is soley about getting fit and healthy.

Since I last posted I have been suffering with migraine varient vertigo. It's been going on now for over a year but I have only had a firm diagnosis for the last 6 months. It is linked to my hormones so I have had the Mirena coil fitted 3 months ago to regulate my hormones. The best thing I can do to help this along is to become fitter and heathier like I used to be. So the plan is to take lots of exercise and give it a good go. I do need to make my eating healthier but summer and BBQ's make that more impossible for me...

So far I have been on two runs and had a tentative ride on my bike. I have been following the C25K (couch to 5K) app on my phone. 2 runs down and they have about KILLED me. The first week is walk 90s and run 60s eight times. The first run I thought I was going to die. Second slightly better but still looked like a pickled beetroot. I had a go at bike riding and i hope to go for a ride soon.

So wish me luck!!
