Why am I doing this again ?

So my stomach thinks my throat's cut ... I haven't had coffee all day and am suffering major withdrawal ...

And I just experienced what must be nearly the most unpleasant half hour of my life whilst attempting to jog 2.5km ...

I know it's only Day One and that every journey of 1,000 steps begins with the first step, but to my horror, I am that unfit person staggering / jogging along the side of the road that I normally feel like laughing at !!!!

In case you were wondering, this is the cause for my motivation ....

While up at my folks place the other day picking K up, I was leaning over the fence talking to him ...
My father (from behind me) : "You know, those jeans almost fitted you ... once"
Me (knowing full well that they're a teensy bit on the snug side) : "Pfft"
My mother (reassuringly) : "It's OK dear, it's called a muffin ... your sister and I both have one !!"
Me : "Aaaaargh !!!!!"

Now I love my mother ... but she has just turned 60. And my "little" sister is 50kg overweight. I do not want to be put in the same body-shape-basket as the two of them.

I may live to regret it. Or ... if I don't live, as the MOTH helpfully pointed out ... at least I have life insurance !!!
