I should be punching the air in triumph. Yesterday morning, I managed to run a mile and a half. I know it was a mile and a half (almost to the yard) because James had showed me a great website (http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/) that allows you to plot a route of your choice and it then works out the distances involved.
So, yes, as I was saying. A mile and a half. It took me around 20 minutes (I could have probably walked the distance in 25, so I wasn't exactly moving fast). My calves and feet were aching by the time I rounded the corner for home – and boy have they ached ever since. So much so that I think it would be foolhardy to go for another bout today (or at least that's the excuse I'm giving myself).
Anyway, I think I've reached a consolidation point. Over the next week or two I'm going to focus on that distance until I can do it comfortably. I'm off for a nice, relaxing warm bath now...

A recent survey showed that the three words most of us wanted to hear were not 'I love you'. 'You've lost weight' took the top slot instead...

What's my blog about?
As a wine and food writer, I've stared gastronomic temptation in the face almost every working day for the past six years – and, most of the time, I've given into it. As a result not only do I no longer fit into my regular clothes, my 'fat clothes' are becoming a tight squeeze too.
This year, though, I'm going to do something about it – and I'll be recording my triumphs and tribulations on this blog, along with recipes, exercise hints and tips on getting through a restaurant meal with your dietary resolutions intact.
My hope is that those of you who are trying to shed a few pounds – and would rather gnaw off your right arm than eat flavourless diet food – will find inspiration on this site.
