Post the 1st: The Beginning

"And when he gets to heaven, to St. Peter he will tell,
One more soldier reporting sir, I've spent my time in hell."

Enjoy that quote? Now that we've got that out of the way, I'll explain it has absolutely nothing to do with this blog. This blog is about my journey to becoming the fittest person I can be! 

Bit of explanation about me: My name is Sean and I'm 25. I'm currently on the umpteenth attempt in the last 5/6 years to get in shape and stay in shape. My weight, body shape and health have fluctuated massively and the results have been varied from being all the way down to 12st6lb in 2010 to nearly 15st a few months ago. I've never been happy with my body shape so much so that I can't actually remember the last time I took my top off in public without feeling uncomfortable.

This time, I want it to be different. I'm not in this alone. I have an amazing partner who is also unndergoing a massive diet and exercise change with me, I couldn't do this without her. I also am an absolute addict to a wonderful place called Fitocracy, which is probably how most of you reading have found this blog! 

So far, my journey has started fantastically. I started working out properly about 5 weeks ago and my partner and I started doing the Slimming World diet about 3 weeks after that. Since then I've lost 7lb (!!!) and for the first time in my life I have biceps. ACTUAL BICEPS!

So finally, thanks for joining me on this journey. For every post on here I will put a picture of my progress so far. Here is the first:
