We are tearing towards one of lifes great milestones - our fiftieth birthday. It hasn't crept up on us, rather its raced up to us and is now jumping up and down like some demented fox terrier demanding attention.
Now we don't really feel even close to 50. More like 42. Not sure why we think 42 - maybe it was the year we grew up a bit and we have plateaued there abouts ever since.
Now with age comes girth. Well for most of us.Charlotte Dawson is very thin. but she has had a bit of work. We are au naturelle. Wrinkles, dimples, bumps, bulges, sags and bags.
Now Cactus has suggested that this country has a problem with obesity - and it has. We fit into that camp. Funny really when we have problems fitting anywhere else. We have about 4 inches to go on our Air New Zealand lap belt before we have to get the fat bastards extension - so its time for some action.
Being big aint easy. We haven't bought a pair of jeans that dont come embedded with lycra or spandex or fitted with elastic waists since we were - 42. They are sort of fat old tarts pull ups. Its a bit like the advert below for the kids cross over nappies. They are pull ups - they are nearly undies but not quite. Well we wear pull ups pants too. Nearly jeans but not quite.
So this is our year of getting rid of a few pounds. We want to lose 50 pounds before our birthday in July .
We are going to use the blog to keep up us honest. There will be a section on the right hand sidebar that will count down to losing 50 pounds.
We will be too embarrassed not to reach our target.. and we are sure that fat hater Cactus will keep us motivated.
So hopefully the bustedblonde will be the bustless blonde.....
Any assistance, advice, ideas, motivation will be well received.
The countdown will start on February 1.
