Thinking back over the summer, there have been many times when I have allowed myself certain treats with the excuse that it was the holidays and that my diet / healthy living can start in September. Unfortunately however, September is now here and I actually have to do something about it. There are no two ways about it – I am over-weight and seriously unfit. It is also rather unfortunate that I am a great fan of food. I love to eat!
When I got married a couple of years ago, in the few months between our engagement and the wedding, I managed to lose one and a half stone. I was quite proud of that and really hoped to continue to lose more weight after the wedding. That didn’t happen however! Not only did I not lose any more weight, I put back on the weight I had lost… and a lot more! Not good! So my task now is bigger and even more over-whelming than it was before.
I have to start somewhere so I have signed myself up for a zumba class tonight. I have never been to zumba before and frankly I am terrified! Lots of people love zumba and in theory it is the type of exercise I might actually like, but I have no rhythm or co-ordination, and I have problems with my hearing so listening to the instructor in a noisy environment might be challenging. But apart from that, I’m sure I’ll have a great time! 😉
I’ll let you know if I survive this one…
