Day 1

"Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice."
Wayne Dyer

So here I am. Day 1! Full of motivation and raring to go. Bank Holiday Monday is as good a day as any to start.

Yesterday I sorted out my food and exercise plans for the week. And I am happy to say I stuck to it today, but don't you always when you start something new. 

My other half is very good at spurring me on. He loves winding me up (well, I think he is winding me up :)) and today he said, 

"Kirsty, at the moment, the scoreboard is saying to me, Tough Mudder 1, Kirsty Collin 0"

Now, he isn't being harsh there, he is just making reference to how I have gone from super fit, to a little bit fat. I know it and I have seen it happening, but my priorities were else where for a short while. Not any more...

So other half is in control of the 'scoreboard' and he has just set me two goals (he knows what makes me tick). 
WHEN I get to 10 stone, I get a point back on Tough Mudder. WHEN I get to 9 stone 10 I get another. 

Thanks hubby for the extra motivation.

So here you go, as promised, here at my vital stats, as taken today:

Left & Right bicep, both 11 inches
