Base camp

And so it begins - £1500 to raise for CPC Kent, the highest mountains in the UK to climb and about eight weeks in which to get fit enough to climb them.

Three challenges, and I know which one I'm most worried about.

This morning I've eaten three jelly babies and a chocolate eclair. The sort of diet required? Probably not.

I'm also as thin as a rake. I caught sight of my legs in the mirror the other day and thought a hairy stork had managed to get in through the bedroom window. I struggled with the smallest weights in the gym when we went for photographs. The girls in the office have to help me open jars.

Things will have to change.

My first training session, with 'Mitch' at Virgin Active in Rochester is on Monday and I'm not looking forward to it. The gym is allowing us to use their facilities for the next two months for training free of charge. When we went for our photographs I caught Mitch training another woman (I forgave him) and she looked exhausted by the end of their hour. I dread to think what I'll look like.

We've had a lot of support so far but we need more.
