The start.

The time has come to change my lifestyle. I'm 50 years old, 6 stone overweight, drink too much and exercise far too infrequently. My knees hurt and I get out of breath easily. I'm at risk of heart attack, diabetes and many other illnesses and diseases.

So in order to get a bit healthier, I'm going to make some changes; I'm giving up sweets, biscuits and alcohol (apart from the occasional night out). I'm cutting down on what I eat and the amount I eat. I'm going to try and do some exercise.

And I'm going to blog it, all of it, so I have something to both encourage me and embarrass me.

I doubt if anyone will follow it, but that's not really the point, this is for me.

That's my tubby face, I'll post more embarrassing pics later
