Well two weeks have past on spring clean 15 and I feel two weeks better than the last photo.  I have exercised more in the past two weeks than any other time in the past 18 months and that alone has made me feel great.  I cycled 40kms on Friday, spent Sat, Sun and Mon working up at the farm, and Cliff and I cycled 16kms to Canning Bridge and back after work last night getting home just on darkness.  Tonight we will be leaving dead on 5pm so we can repeat last nights cycle.

Day 1 - Spring Clean 15kg

Well… the time has come.  I have been a fatty boombar for far too long (half of my life) and it is time to shed 15kilos (at least).  I don’t say the D word and don’t go on a D at all because it is just asking to be broken.  Instead I shall spring clean 15kg off my body over the next 3 or 4 months by not drinking a scotch and coke every night, by not eating potato and other stuff with lots of carbs (rice, noodles… you know all my damn favourite things!), by cycling more often, by sweating it on the bloody awful cross trainer.

I need to be able to wear a pair of bathers at the beach and not be at risk of being rolled back into the ocean.  I need to be able to see my toes (hmmm well that may not happen unless I get a breast reduction!).. ok… I need to be able to tie up my shoes without requiring to hold my breath.  I need to be able to reduce the stress on my knees, to fit into nicer bras, to fit into size 14 clothes (and not 16s and 18s).  I need to be able to like myself better and I think a less fat me could be more likable.  I want to see 80 and 90 rather than my overworked heart giving up on me at 50, or 60.  I want to be able to continue to go camping, and cycling, and swimming, and gardening, and eventually running around after my (future) grand-kids.

I want to do it for ME.  I want to do it for Cliff.  I want to do it for my kids.  I want to do it for my parents.  I want to do it for my sisters.  I just HAVE to do it.

So today is - Day 1 of Spring Clean 15kg and the fatty boombar photo to prove it!
