A Bit of History

I grew up an extremely fussy child.  I existed on weet-bix, peanut butter, cheese, sausages, cheesy pasta, eggs, junk food and a handful of other things.  Needless to say it would be easier to list what I did eat rather that what I didn't. Any new food stressed me out and I couldn't swallow it and would often gag.
Something I realise was completely in my head.
I was lucky to live semi rural, so was not a complete couch potato, but did not participate in sports.

Through my late teens/early 20's I tried taking up the gym, swimming and the like in fits and starts but nothing stuck.  But through lack of a car I walked, biked and bused everywhere. And was in a rescue team for a number of years.

Finally after having kids, I had an epiphany.  Actually I was just bored of eating the same stuff and decided that it wouldn't kill me to try new foods.  Years later I have expanded the foods I eat quite a bit, but still have to force myself to try things, it can still be too easy (and safe) not to.

The Introduction (How original)

Not entirely sure why I am doing this. Maybe an outlet, maybe just a glorified diary.

Originally I was going to make it about 'my weightloss journey'.  But, then thought 'nah'. I figured I'd rather just yak about anything and everything as it comes up.  Then when deciding on a title, I came up with the above, because I reckon that is just about all we really want in life for us and our families.  That and a crap load of money :)

I will start out talking about weightloss and fitness, because that is big for me at the moment. So my next post will be a bit of history, how I got to where I am now.
