One man's journey...

Yes, I have decided, it is now or never. I have never made a new years resolution before, but this year it's going to be different. I've decided I've had enough of being fat and unfit. So this year, I am going to do something about it. Having been inspired by a few youtubers out there who have documented their journey, I've decided I am going to do the same.

A little about me: I'm just a normalish guy, 37 years old, Sydney (Australia) born and bred. 5'7ish (or just a shade over 170cm for us non-imperialists) and weight 105kgs (that's 231lbs). I wouldn't necessarily class myself as obese, but I am most certainly overweight. And I want to lose that weight. I'm a normal guy, with an almost normal job (but I work a 12 hour roster, and so this is going to be one of my greatest challenges: Maintaining a strict regime while working). I don't smoke (and after tonight) only drink on those very rare special ocassions... Like birthdays, farewells and stuff.

But this all starts tomorrow :-)

You've heard it all before, haven't you?

The last supper

It's not the new year yet, and we have one more night of celebrating before I go on my no alcohol binge (for at least one month) while I start trying to shed these love handles and other superfluous fatty over-hangs. Having a few drinks 2 or 3 or 5 times a week is going to be a thing of the past.

And so is a meal such as this!

For years one of my favourite meals has always been Chicken Kiev. That is, until I met Daniel, the international quisine chef at the Woolpack Hotel. This Sirloin with blue-cheese sauce is simply "to die for"

And if I had of kept eating it, I probably would die... But it's soooo nice. Ahh well, A thing of the past now (I might have a commemorative
meal tonight - just so that the taste can linger for one last moment...)

After all, it is New Years Eve!

I took some warm-up photos, so that I could get my positioning right and boy-o-boy did I not like what I saw! I don't want to make anyone throw up, photo's presented here are going to be in categories. Initially only the "fully clothed" option is going to be available. Eventually once I start seeing a positive change, I will let you browse the underwear shots (NOT for the feint of heart!)

At this point in time, this isn't a blog where I am asking any of you for some motivation, I am simply doing this so that I can hopefully motivate myself. And after seeing the photo's (and the ones without the shirt!) I think I now have all the motivation I need

So check it out

Dave.
