HI. My name is Tony Curl and I have a real concern with the State of Men's Health. I know so many of my friends and mates, and see hundreds of others that carry that extra weight around their guts. The badge of honour called a Beer Gut. Unhealthy is a nice way to say it. An absolute killer is another. I want everyone to know my story and for you to realise that YOU can change your life and improve your health. Transform your life, all you need is the desire to change.
Please read MY STORY first, then click through the pages. Would love to hear from others and only too willing to help anyone who takes the step to help themselves. Overall I have lost over 29kg, transformed my life and now have kept it off for over twelve months. The proof that you can still drink beer and transform your body.

Bands Replaced

A quick email and advice back that my broken band will be replaced. I'm a happy little Bodyscuplter

The Day my Band Broke

Well Team, it finally had to happen. My Band broke. My yellow band of all things. Low anchor point, chest press, 12 reps in and THWUNG, the eyelet ripped right out of the handle. Had to drop back resistance levels to Black/Blue/Red to finish the session. Not as much burn today because of that. Had too good a weekend and now I need to good four days of BT, to blow out the cobwebs. Have a good week everyone.

Another New Diet

The Sunday Papers have opened up with another new Diet, the Dukan Diet, which apparently is all the rage amongst French Women. Looking at it, it certainly bears more than a smidge resemblance to the education derived from the Bodytrim program. Each diet seems to have just enough of a difference to remove themselves from each other. Knowing what has worked for me, and looking at the bare essentials of the Dukan Diet, I would believe it would work. My only question is around the "consolidation" stages of the diet.

My advice is to read widely and look around at what works. Look for real life success stories and try and gain some understanding of a success story in a similar position to you. Anyone can lose weight and transform their lives if they are on a program 100% of the time. But when you have to add work, the kids, the mates and life in general, it becomes harder. That is why, the people from reality shows, don't appeal to me as real-life role models. Yes they make good TV, and we share their journey, but their journey is not real. They are in an artificial environment created for them. Their real lives got them in the trouble they were in.

Funny Week

Well it has been a funny week. Started the week with news of a mates dad passing away. Had a few beers with him for support. Then had a good couple of days nutrition with Resistance bands sessions, then ORIGIN and that was a great nite, great game and great fun.

The funeral and wake was Thursday,

Tough Workout

On Monday, I completed my resistance bands workout. For those that havn't used these, the low anchor points are the toughest resistance, and I can vouch for this as I sit here on Tuesday still feeling it. I need to complete another workout tomorrow (Wednesday) morning and ensure that I get a couple of walks in, as I have a tough day to maintain my nutrition compliance. It's State of Origin, State against State and Mate against Mate.

First Day of My Blog

The motivation to achieve something in life is strong. Day 1 of my new blog and I am back up at 4.30, drinking some black coffee and just about to hit a Resistance Bands session. After that it will be a 30 minute walk so my day should be a great one with all the exercise and activity out of the way. Get ready for work, then breakfast...then I can start my day.
