The Obligatory First Post

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

So, here we are again, the first post.  What do other people do with it?  I never really know how to start a blog despite doing it many times.  It’s that weird limbo where you know that you’re blogging to no-one but you pour your heart and soul into getting a good first post up.

Well this time round I’m going to keep it fairly short and sweet.  There’s always plenty of stuff to do when you first start a blog.  Get the theme right, get all the plugins sorted, figure out how you’re going to collect stats, yadda yadda yadda.  That’s what I’ll be focussed on this first week.

In terms of improvement stuff…I’m in a baseline collecting mode.  I want to spend this first week getting to know what I usually do and then I can decide if that’s OK.  I’ve been wearing my heart rate monitor for the last couple of days to figure out how sedentary my lifestyle actually is.  I’ve also been keeping a food diary, not a fantastically detailed one but one fit for purpose.

That means while you may have to wait a while for a first proper post on weight loss and self-improvement you should see some improvements to the blog at least and when I do start blogging I should have some decent content.  I know I’ve already been taken aback by some of the things I’ve found out.

Anyway, hope you keep reading and more importantly I hope you feel you can join in the conversation.

Wish me luck.

Sid.
