My first posting

This is all new to me so I'm not sure exactly what to put. Obviously this blog is designed to be an ongoing thing, tracking my progress like a diary. Here's where I am right now:

Words: 20,000 (all in January). Weight: 14 st 1lb.

By the end of the year I need to be about here:

Words: 80-100,000. Weight: 11 st (maximum)

It's going to be a long journey but fingers crossed I can make it. No, scrap that, there's no fingers crossed mumbo jumbo about this any more. I WILL do it.

How? First step I am planning what I am going to eat every morning and sticking to it. I am going to get out of work at lunchtime and walk around the block, and I am also going to stop moaning about why I put on weight when I eat crap. The simple answer is surely to just stop eating crap isn't it? Then for the writing, that's much more sedentary, I just have to make sure I sit down and write between 500-4000 words a day. I'm aiming for 1000 a day but between work, socialising and exercise this might not always be achievable so my main aim is 20,000 words a month.

Weigh in will be every Monday morning. Words written should be a daily thing.
