Today saw me spend some quality time with my mother down from the bush. Now I really enjoy spending time with her when she comes to Sydney, but sometimes she does push the boundary a bit… Like today… Today was one of those days. We often like to do things, catch a movie, go to …

Changing Lifestyles
Diets don’t work. Everyone knows that. If you’re going to go on a diet, you’re going to put the weight back on. What you need to do is change your lifestyle. Change your eating habits. Change your exercise regime (or at least start one). I am now in the process of doing just that. I …
Day 13
I did the Centenial Park walk again today. Although I did overdo it a bit this time. I tried jogging way too far and although I impressed myself initially, I soon tired to a state that left me extremely exhausted. But I wasn’t just knackered (so-to-speak) I felt like I was dying. While I have …

The day itself was hugely uneventful, and hot. So I held off going for a walk for a long time. It was late afternoon before I finally got out there. It was about 6.30pm by the time I finally got out …

I went out for lunch today, and I went for a walk to my local shopping centre. It’s around a 10-15 minute walk and I thought I’d drop in and get some salad stuff for lunch. Well, it turned into a huge shopping experience… This always happens to …
Day 10
This was a good day considering it was a work day! Before work I jumped on the treadmill for 2km. Not hugely fast, but without a fan in front of me I started sweating really quick. I mean it was dripping off me. Nothing to report, work-wise. I ate my usual non-carb lunch but after …
Day 08
The extent of my exercise today was to walk to Broadway shopping centre. Not a huge walk by any stretch of the imagination, but 6500 paces on the pedometer and roughly 4.5km round trip. While I was there I bought myself a whole suite of training gear, mainly singlets and socks with a few other …

A few years ago…
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 …
