Well, today I waved bye bye to my old body. :drinker:

I told it that I'll never see it looking like this again, no longer will there be rolls of flab where there should be abs, the boobs will fit in a normal size bra, the legs and arms will be toned, and there will no longer be unsightly bulges.


Today, I started training for Ironman Wales 2015.

It's going to be a long hard slog, I have no doubt that I'll want to throw in the towel several times:angry: , break down in tears:sad: , throw a hissy fit:mad: , but I'll bloody well do it! :bigsmile:

The intention is to do it for charity (watch this space!). I have done shorter tri's before and got the bug, but NOTHING has come close to the atmosphere at an IM event, and I long to run up that red carpet knowing that I have beaten the fat and overcome the depression and become the me that I long to be :smooched:


Bye bye fatty Pip!

    Good luck with your training and meeting your goal! I'm a little jealous...but not enough to sign up for an Ironman ;)
