Today is the Day!

After many weeks of being too busy and not having enough time to train, and many, many weeks months of eating what I want, I have decided that this is it. No more excuses! I am going to get back in form. I am going to reach a goal I have only dreamt of.
I have always been very good at running and I have in the past 3 years dedicated lots of early mornings going to the gym, or going just for a run outside. But what I have realised is that just this isn't enough. I have been kidding myself. I am sabbotaging my own dreams.
Over 2 years, I have put on 8+ kilograms.
So today is day 1!
I am motivated and ready.
Each day from now until Christmas I will log an entry on My Fitness Pal. ( a fabulous mobile app that organises all your data, what you eat, calories you take in, calories out.)
I am aiming to eat 1200 calories a day and exercise 5 days out of 7. Burning minimum 300 calories per workout. I will purchase ( once again) a membership of 12 wbt that starts in August. This will give me 60 new, healthy recipes and keep me motivated. I like Michelle Bridges's 12 weeks, as it is easy to follow and a good place to start. The exercises are all given and a food plan that can be arranged to suit my own tastes.
I am adding a photo today ( I never have added a before picture) just to prove to myself this time it's real.
So today - day 1.

Exercise:
30 mins running - 318 cal
25 mins cycling - 200 cal
4 mins hula hooping - 14 cal
