Today's the day! It all starts here!

Yes, I know the story - you've been meaning to do for ages but life got in the way. SNAP! Same here. Although I've done it before so I've no excuse whatsoever. I simply need to do it again. This is how it works ...

I'm going to start right from the beginning. No diving in at the deep end - too many people can't swim and we don't want anyone drowning, right? We're going to do this the right way - together! And I'm going to go so slowly that you're going to wonder what the hell's going on! Good! That can only mean that it's going well, because I don't want you noticing huge changes and throwing yourselves full-pelt into all sorts of things that are only going to last about as long as bar of Mint Aero in my hands (i.e. about 2 1/2 minutes). You know when you've been fighting something for ages and then suddenly realise it's not there any more? In reality, that doesn't make sense, does it? But I'll bet it's happened to everybody. Well, that's the way this is going to work, too. Stick with me and one day very soon you'll simply realise, mid-conversation, that "Oh, I haven't had a headache for weeks" or "Gosh! These trousers are quite loose around the waist now" or even "What d'you know? That's the first time in years I've walked so far and not been out of breath." Yep. That's what I'm aiming for and here's how it's going to work:

Every week I'm going to set a wee challenge. I'll give it a title you'll recognise - CHALLENGE! I'm going to do this, too, so I hope you'll stay with me and let me know how you're getting on. If I post mid-week I'll call my posts something else - this'll be a way for me to record how I'm doing and a way for you to see/compare how you're doing, too. I will be completely honest so in the weeks that I don't keep up, I hope that you'll be there celebrating your victory (and let me know, too!). Either way, keep scrolling until you find the following week's challenge. And remember - begin whenever you like. Just make sure you begin from Week 1.

Are you ready? No more procrastinating! Let's go!
