Here we go again!

Here we go again. Back in the plus 110 kg category! Time to start over, and what better time than the month I am turning 30 in. It's been one crazy year. Very busy, on all fronts, at the job, at home, and on the social scene.

I am feeling it, and now is as good a time as ever to start transforming and blogging a little bit more, even if it is just once a week.

June wont be less busy, but neither will any other of the months  left in the year. So I have decided to try and change my lifestyle again, and all that goes with it.

Hopefully I will be 99kg's somewhere in December. That's the goal, that is not asking to much from myself.

So another Label, another challenge, 7 months to go, lots to loose, more to gain. Much More.

Yello, yep, I am still around

And it is going great. Unbelievably great, so great, that I figure that before we say hello to December, I might actually be able to post a magical number on that "the K's I have shed page". It's been tough, but it is summer, and I am swimming every night, I am eating well, I have had the odd obstacle, the odd party, and the odd relapse cheese burger. 95% of it has been great though, I am doing really well, I so want to tell you where I am weight loss wise, but I can't, I promised myself when I enter my weight again, it will be to numbers, a point, and that is it, if that is 99.9 than I will be 99.9% happy. When I first started blogging and toying with the idea of loosing weight that was the number. Get your ass down to 99.9kg's, then well reboot and pick a new target. I was at 114.7kg's when I decided to make 99.9kg's a target. Many beers, burgers, workouts and blowouts and more than a year later, I am not far off, it is reachable, so reachable that I can get there within this month. I know I haven't been blogging much, but I have been reading a few of yours religiously. To Josh, over at 700 Pounds is as bad as it sounds. Thanks for the inspiration, it led to perspiration, which led to weight loss. To Natalie, at path to petite. Thanks for also struggling, also juggling a billion things, also living life and getting it done. You guys kept me going. It's weird, I am a popular guy, with a lot of friends, but to me this weight loss thing is very personal, and it's nice to share it with all of the people that read my blog. Here is no masks, no excuses, and just the truth. I wont blog again until I get to my 99.9kgs. SO here is hoping that I will be back soon, in the meantime, keep on going on.

LOOKING BACK

On the 2nd of May 2012, I set myself some targets. I stumbled on them today, and figured I would see where I was at the moment.

Here is 11 things I really want to do, be able to say, by the 12 month:

1. I reached my target weight – 89.9 kg’s.
This is the big goal, this is what I am here for, this is what I will do.

Well, this is the big one, I am getting there, but I am not near there yet. I would still love to be able to say this before the 12th month!

2. I have quit smoking – for good – for ever.
I have tried many a time, I have read about people quitting when they start to exercise as you really don’t feel like it – I hope I will be one of those people.

Getting there...

3. I can run a half marathon.
I never was much of a runner, I was a good cyclist and swimmer – this is something I figure I could do – I have 6 months to get there. Tomorrow will be an early morning!

Nowhere close, but, I will do this before the 12th month.

4. Get my waist below 100cm.
I’m currently at 132cm, it should be 94cm, if I am below 100, I would be happy!

I have not measured my waist in a while, I know I am not at 132 anymore, but I know I am not below 100 either.

5. Get rid of most of my pills.
I drink a wide array of pills, for all kinds of stuff, losing weight and quitting smoking should get me of a few. – More on this later.

This one I am proud to say I am very close to achieving.

6. Never diet – ever.
I don’t want to loose weight, and put it on again, I want to keep it off, lifestyle change – not fad diet change.

I am getting this one right. I am going low carb, and it's a lifestyle, not a diet.

7. Be committed
To keep loosing weight, keep running/swimming/cycling/going to gym.

I am more committed than ever. Winning

8. Get positive.
I can be depressed – sometimes. I am no fun then, I don’t need that.

I have heaps of stuff to sort out, but I am more committed than ever.

9. Appreciate my wife, more
I love her to death, she does a whole lot of shit I take for granted.

I am loosing this battle, and need to appreciate her about 6 times as much as stated in May last year!

10. Enjoy work
I spend half my life there – it should be more fun.

Work is a billion times better than May last year, it's going good, I am enjoying it.

11. Be exited about getting up.
Not everyday, just a whole lot more days.

Yep, this one I can tick off, I still hate getting up early to get in the gym, but once I am there, it's all worth it.

I am hoping that by December I can say I have done everything I have set my mind to, lost the weight I wanted to loose, and be the happy guy I deserve to be.

Hello interwebs

I wil be using this blog to track my own personal weight loss and fitness journey.
I am a 27 year old guy who weighs 112kg’s. I am aiming to get my weight down to 89 kg’s. That’s 23 kilos I want to loose! I have no set date I am reaching for but obviously the sooner the better!
I used to be a keen sportsman and excelled at quite a few sports. Unfortunelty, I piled on weight after school at a steady pace ad put on about 35 kg’s in 10 years. Breaking it down, it is’nt that much per year. I’m just hoping it won’t take ten years to get rid of it again!
I have been inactive for the past 4 years so I will start slowly but surely. Along the way I will add pictures and stuff so that you can follow my progress as I go along this journey.
I amusing this blog to not only motivate myself, but to hopefully get some motivation from a reader or two as time goes on.
Cheers,
