Control

Tuesday Morning and back in control. Had a 30 minute walk after a Sugar Free Energy drink and just had my breaky of scrambled eggs, diced bacon and mushrooms. I am back feeling in control. Last night I did three workouts on the New Tower 200, which took all of 20 minutes and made me feel great.

One of the first goals that I set when I started losing weight in February 2009, was to get under 90kg, a weight I hadn't been under since 1988. I have now officially been under that weight for over 12 months, and come September, I will have been under 85kg for over 12 months. You can make the change for the better, with just a little commitment and discipline, and still enjoy in moderation what you have always enjoyed. I am proof.

Feeling Very Positive for the Week

Over the last couple of weeks, I have clearly broken MY Number one rule. At least FOUR Alcohol Free Days a week. With State of Origin , Weddings, Leadership workshops it feels like I have been lucky to get in TWO AFD's. However this week, I have a much cleaner schedule. I have my State Conference on Thursday and as is usually the case, the unwind at the end of the day includes some light refreshments. I am comfortable that I can skip the beers at this, and get in a good FIVE days of AFD,s.

Started Monday well, with a great resistance workout. Just finished breaky of two scrambled eggs, some diced bacon and spinach, and writing this with some black coffee. I mentioned in an earlier blog, about the Tower200 advert that I saw on Telly.

Leadership Workshop Over: Now for the Weekend

Two days of camping in the Gold Coast Hinterland, eating a diet of pasta and breadrolls and drinking just too much sugars and beers, bear witness to my last couple of days at our leadership workshop.

Now I just have the weekend to face with a double header tonight at Suncorp Stadium. Looking forward to some normality soon.

Why have I done this Blog?

I have had a question asked by my Survival Tips page, asking why I have put together this blog. The reason is simple. I want fellas/blokes/men to get healthier. Many won't make the decision to lose weight, as they enjoy their lifestyle too much. The reality is that potentially their lifestyle will lead them to an early grave. The beer gut is filled with toxins and poisons and fat, that circulate around your blood system, causing all sorts of dramas. A friend of a friend has just had a close call with a lingering pain in the chest, becoming an emergency double bypass operation. Otherwise fit and healthy, and hardly carrying a gut at all, but nonetheless a scary time.

Another Weekend Done and Dusted

I have enjoyed my weekend yet again, but started my Monday with a great resistance workout and a good long walk. Already feel better for it, than what I have for a while. I have a two day leadership workshop this week, and these are always dodgy to a degree. I think we cook our own food and will be having some drinks on the Thursday Night. This is the night after State of Origin 2, and as usual Curly's bar will be open with some mates coming around to share the night. So I guess just another tough week to contend with.
