A Blog? Me? With my reputation?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Seriously, me with a blog? How 21st century and therefore so not me. I am the least IT savvy person I know, but hey, I'm prepared to give it a go. This from a girl who still finds a calculator with a back button on it a revolution! Will enlist the help of the hubster to make it fancy with photographs and stuff, so more to come on that later.

So after reading the blogs of others, I have a rough idea of how I'd like this blog to go.

I started Weightwatchers (with my friend Marion) for the 1st time in 2007, stuck at it for about 2-3 months and lost a little over a stone (from memory). Then I went on holiday in the November, and by the time I came back I had just lost the impetus to count points, track and basically get on with losing the weight - also Christmas and all the feasting that brings was approaching........................

I quit and can honestly say that I didn't even step foot on a set of scales for the whole of 2008.

Then 2009 came around. My good friend, Marion, decided that she was going to sort herself out and rejoin Weightwatchers and asked if I wanted to come along again. I was not persuaded. And then a mixture of panic, bloody mindedness and determination set in. I knew I couldn't sit back and watch her lose the weight and continue to get bigger myself, cos I knew I would be kicking myself for not getting the proverbial finger out! It was inevitable to me that I would have to do something about my weight "one of these days" so why not just get it done? As a result, I re-joined the week after Marion, on 14th January. We keep each other going, share WW friendly food, swap tips and exercise together.

So, are you wondering why I am only just starting this blogging malarkey this far in? Well, I'm just over the halfway mark now in terms of the weight I want to lose. I am feeling a bit chuffed with my appearance, I am enjoying clothes again, I am fitter and healthier BUT I wanna go all the way. I am hoping that the blog will keep me focussed and add a new element to my journey, and to be honest I think it will help stop complacency setting in.

As for my Blog name? If you know the AC/DC track that this pays homage to, Rosie's vital statistics are 42-39-56 - probably not that far off my own starting measurements.

Here's to success everyone!
