THE 2012 recap

Firstly, sorry I have not updated this blog in such a long time. Here's the honest truth:

I fell of the wagon, my diet has been non existent in the last month, I ate like a pig, drank like Lindsay Lohan and did as much exercise as Michael Moore. It's all part and parcel, and here then, the highs, lows and memories of 2012.

THE BIGGEST LOWS

• Getting depressed, sick, passing out at work.
• Gaining weight...again
• Not loosing what I wanted to.
• Screwed up at work due to sickness.

THE BIGGEST HIGHS

• Buying a new house
• My CPAP machine
• Getting my sickness sorted out with above.
• My 2 year anniversary.
• Losing about 10 kilo's
• Lot's more laughs than cries.
• Family that yet again showed that they care, more than I'd ever imagine.
• A WIFE - that stuck around through the worst times, and made the best times that much better.

Life is life, and we have to life it. I had some bad times in 2012, it was far from the best year of my life, and it may have been the worse. There was some real bad times, times where it really felt as if I was at the bottom of the pit.

Then there was the good times, which where very good. The smiles, laughs, parties, spending time at home with my wife and feeling 100% content and happy. Parties with my dad, mom, brothers and good friends. That's the times that make it all worth while, and that will always keep my HIGH list much more interesting and longer than my LOW list.

Here's to a 2013 without a low list, and a very long HIGH list.

Thanks for reading my blog in 2012, I'll be back in 2013, to welcome a new year of weight loss, diet ups and downs. And life in general.

Start your 2013 on a high, and end 2012 like there is no tomorrow.

FEELING FAT

It's been two hectic weeks. I was on the road quite a lot, didn't get as much sleep as I should have, and ate some really bad meals in between.

I`m back on the horse though. I'll only do a weigh in tomorrow morning, but I feel bloated, constipated, and all and all pretty fucking fat. Hopefully I didn't gain to much, or maybe I am in for one hell of a surprise. I hope so. 1 Month left of what has been the weirdest year of my life.

I'll still do a 2013 recap post, but we still have some days left, and I still have some kilo's to drop.

Have a good week.

Make a difference.

weigh in winning

I`m not Charlie Sheen winning yet, but I'm getting closer. Here's the weekend update.



I am down to 105kg's dead, wished it was 104.9, but still, it's coming down. That 99.9kg mark keeps creeping closer, and I am really looking forward to it! Wife got out of hospital on Saturday, I feel so bad for her part. She has been exercising like a crazy person but needs to relax now and let her wounds heel for at least 2 weeks. She is really unhappy about this.

We had a good weekend at home and just relaxed as she can't do much, and needed to rest. I'm very happy with my weekend, never really overindulged, and kept my diet in good nick. I probably could have had some more water, but I am back on water again this morning, and I have knocked back about a liter so far.

My wife suggested we start jogging together once she is up and running again, it's something I am looking forward to, plus, we can do it together, it will just take me some more time to get to her fitness level. My big dream is to do the 2oceans with her next year, and if we can get training there is no reason why I can't run 21.1km come March next year. So that is a big goal, and I am looking forward to that journey, I am positive I will loose even more weight along the way, and it is a great goal to work towards. I love spending time with my wife, and if we can train together, and do the odd race together, it will be awesome.

So here's to a new week, and new goals, and loosing 5 more kilo's

Wife in hospital, and I am still doing good!

My wife started feeling bad on Monday, long story short, she ended up going to her GP on Wednesday, who immediately booked her into hospital, as she was dehydrated. Found out about 10 minutes ago that her appendix is going to be removed this afternoon. So, please spare a thought for her. It's been kind of boring being all alone at home, and I did some stuff I'd never do when she's around. I watched a whole lot of SuperSport last night, and had a swim in our pool with the dogs, who are both clearly missing her. In other news, my diet is going great, and so is my workout regime. Looking forward to the weekend, I have got a yearend function brunch tomorrow, and the rest will be spend lounging around, watching rugby, the odd braai, and more lounging around.

Enjoy your weekend, we'll chat Monday, when it's weigh in time!

Going Strong

A good friend gave me a huge compliment today. He said that I should watch out, because soon my pants will start falling off.  So I know I am winning this battle of the bulge. People are noticing, and that makes a heap of a difference to my mentality, and just motivates me to keep going. I played some squash last night, it was good fun, very exhausting, and a pretty good 40 min workout. I will be going for a swim in my lunch hour today, and hopefully at least twice a week. It makes more sense to me, plus, I'll have some more time at home to fix what needs to be fixed, and I can then swim in my lunch break, and play squash at night.

In other news, my wife is down with a bad stomach flu, I am hoping I don't catch it. Feel really sorry for her, she hates being sick, but for one or another reason she gets sick quite often.

I am really hoping Monay's weigh in will be a good one, I am working my ass off to make it that way.

That's it for now, I am off to my first lunch time swim session.

I am gaining weight...says my scale

Well, I picked up about 1 kg since my last weigh in  a week ago. The thing is, with all the swimming and squash and some weight training, I figure I may have gained a little bit of muscle. My beer belly is definitely smaller, I feel lighter, and I am definitely fitter than I have been in a long time. I am still very disappointed that I didn't loose any weight this week. I;ll keep on going to the pool this week, check what I eat, and hopefully next Monday I have dropped some again. I'm just going to go all out this week and do as much training as possible, and eat all the high protein good stuff. So here is to another week on the journey, and to keepin going.

Good luck to you all on your journey's.
