International Blog Delurking Week 2013

Melissa from Stirrup Queens reminds us that it is International Blog Delurking Week this week.  As she says: "Leave a comment in the comment section below admitting that you’re here. You can simply raise your hand and meekly admit that you’re here with a simple, one-word “here” comment; or you can proudly raise your hand and tell us all a bit about yourself"

So, gentle reader, if you are here, stop a second and say oh hai.

it begins now

Happy (slightly belated) New Year!  I hope that 2013 is good to you.

When I started this blog waaay back in summer 2009 I weighed 9 stone (126lbs / 57kg) which was a BMI of 23.84 (healthy).  Today I weigh 11 stone (154lbs / 69kg) which is a BMI of 29.13 (overweight).  This can not go on any longer so 2013 is going to be my Streamling Year. By the time I write my first post of 2014, I really, really, really want to be back to my 2009 weight.

I have been inspired to do this mainly because I can't lug this weight around any longer.  But I have also been inspired by Rach, who is on her own mission. Rach, you are an awesome inspiration!
