So whats the big news? Well I'm a changing (not yet changed) man. Like some 70% of the population this year I made myself a promise, that I would lose weight, that I would get fit and that I would take up triathlons as a sport.
Well a few months into 2011 and it was all looking pretty sick but then a few weeks ago I lay in bed feeling sick, with horrible indigestion and unable to sleep. Finally it was time to get up and I just felt like shit. I looked like crap. But worse of all it finally dawned on me that I was going to die if something didnt change. ok, maybe I wasnt going to die that week, or month or even year but I was certain to drop off the perch earlier than I wanted to and earlier than I had to.
So I finally, really, took the decision to change.
For that last 6 weeks or so I've trained everyday but 2. I've put myself on a pretty strict diet and so far so good.
So some stats. I'm 192cm tall (or 6'3"). When I started this journey a few weeks back I was 127.5 kg (281 lb). Now I'm at 121 kg (266 lb). A loss of 6.5 kg or 15 lb. I realise this weight loss is not spectacular but combined with my strength and fitness improvements I'm pretty stoked. I didnt take a gut measurement at the start of this but now its 120cm. I do know all my clothes feel (and look) a lot better so something's getting better.
Ok, well thats it for now. More to come as tomorrow (I promise) I'll be back.
