First post - first day

Well I have to say, this must be the most unoriginal blog ever - a blog all about losing weight and getting fit. But you see, I have a cunning plan to later turn this into an interesting and informative article, either for a magazine (any of them will do!)or a website such as Handbag.com. I'd like to start getting some experience at this kind of writing. So, I thought I would document my "journey" here, as often as I can be bothered to come on and type into this thing.

To cut to the quick, my baby is almost a year old now and I never got beyond a certain point with losing my pregnancy weight. I reckon I could lose up to 2 stone. That will take me to my preferred size 12, and all my lovely clothes that I can't wear at the moment. My Mum is also getting married in August, and I want that dress to have a lot of alterations!

Well my big idea is that I am not going to be on a "diet" - and this will be the selling point of my article too, I hope. Basically, I don't "do" diets, because I rapidly get bored and feel hard done by. I lose weight in the first instance, but then I just fall off the wagon! This time I plan things to go a little different. I will eat healthy, but nice food, and try not to drink too much. Oh, and do lots of exercise. That is it, basically. Surely, that is all one needs to do in order to lose weight, get fit and become more healthy? We will see........

I have a confession to make, however. I have just bought Anthony Worrel Thomson's book on GI recipes. I did this not to start doing the GI diet, but because the recipes look delicious, not something I have ever thought about diet recipes in the past. Dr Gillian McKeith - you are sacked! (Oh how happy my husband will be about that! He reckons she's clearly not into food, otherwise she wouldn't eat and promote that crap!).

Right - off to have my cuppa and low fat treat now. And then for some sit ups. Going well so far! Note to self - must post a "before" pic of myself here.
