Butterfly Wings

It’s mildly ironic that I’m writing this now, since it’s after midnight and part of my plan to “get serious” involves getting to bed at a decent hour. However, I’ve been thinking about it, and now seems as good a time as any to write it. I have also had a glass and a half of white wine during the course of the evening, so while my thoughts are more spontaneous and less refined, I’m more likely to be honest.

I need to make some changes. Yes, I already made a start, but I hit a plateau and I need to do something about getting back on track. I won’t go into detail right now, but I have health issues to deal with, including a whole stack of weight I need to shift.

So I’ve decided to do what every other self-respecting blogger has done, and document my process. It seems that people find more success with sticking to their plans when they’ve made them public, sometimes embarrassingly so. While my blog certainly doesn’t have a readership anywhere near the size of the television audience of shows like The Biggest Loser, the idea that somebody, somewhere may read my blog and judge my efforts could be motivation enough. Even if nobody reads it but me, I will know that I can’t hide it any more.

I haven’t decided how much detail I will post. I don’t know if I’m brave enough to document photos or weight or a food diary (or to subject potential readers to that). However, I suppose there’s no point in doing this if I haven’t included at least some of those details. Anybody out there want to give me their opinion on that?

So anyway, that’s the (vague, murky, hazy) plan so far. Starting as soon as I work out what to actually post, I will start posting about my personal journey. After all, that’s how this blog started, except it was just for a different journey.

And then again, I may wake up in the morning and read this, and ask “What in the world was I thinking???” Watch this space (well, if you want to)…
