A very interesting week, all in all. Just uploaded my week one photos to flickr - embarrassing. I guess that's what it's all about at the end of the day though. A call to arms to do something about your body before it's all too late. My starting weight was a fairly hefty 17 stone and 12 pounds, a weight I've been maintaining pretty religiously for the last ten years.
I can't wait to see how this all ends up. What a journey this will be.
Week one has piqued my curiosity. I'm so keen to get started on this all and the information that Kevin has sent through has me totally inspired. I don't understand how we as a species have so totally lost sight of what is so fundamentally obvious - food is supposed to be natural. It's simple really when you think about it. Our prehistoric forbears didn't have meat with every meal. It was probably a pretty rare occurrence when you actually had to kill the thing yourself. Eat food, not too much, mostly plants. So simple, so true and so obvious.
On the exercise front, things are going very well. My stomach muscles have recovered, my appendectomy scar doesn't hurt any more with the abs exercises and my skipping has reached new levels of brilliance. I'm looking on youtube for more moves to throw in there just to mess things around a bit. After the skipping I feel happy, energised and chilled out, all at once. There's something very zen about it - the gentle repetition of it and the thwack thwack thwack of the rope on the ground. Brilliant.
So, with a profound sense of excitement, bring on week two.
