Hi, My name is Shelley and I’m over weight. Wow, this is actually easier than I thought. I’m over weight. There I said it again.

Sigh.

I’m actually over weight, once more. I had been really quite large.

July of 2006
September of 2006 I must have been heading towards sixteen stone but I didn’t weigh myself, I wonder why??!?

See, that was bad, I was unhappy and unhealthy. Changes were made and I lost a lot of that weight and felt good about myself.

Summer of 2015 and I was around thirteen stone, but apparently still didn’t like having my photo taken so you’ll have to take my word for it.
Here I am in full pirate during the summer of 2016 weighing in at twelve stone six pounds. I’m pretty sure this is my first selfy.

Here’s the thing, I thought I’d changed, but I hadn’t. I let the weight slide back on, I would say unnoticed but deep down I knew and I’m annoyed that I let myself go.

Anyway, on wards and upwards. Thankfully I’ve caught myself. Now starts the hard work to sort it out again and make the changes permanent. Part of my new adventure in health is a self-imposed challenge, to run at least two miles a day, but more on that later.

I should say, right of the bat, I’m not a doctor, I have not studied food nutrition or sports science and I am in no way making recommendations for you. This is just me doing what I think my body responds positively to and sharing it with you. This is partly as a record for me of distance covered, treats consumed and how I’m feeling about the process and partly to keep me on the straight and narrow by knowing that you’re watching me.

Thanks for stopping by and stay positive if you are on your own journey.

Shelley
