My birthday, among other reasons including my lovely wife made me realise it was time to change (again). I've lost weight and got fit before... very fit.. however I've always struggled to get fit and have a successful work/career. Typically the times I've been fit is when I've taken sabbaticals. I'm the type of person who has moved jobs every 3 years or so as opportunities have arisen and I'm taken challenging roles that have consumed me.
So what is different this time... Yes I'll get fit... however this time the goal is to stay fit and have a successful career at the same time. No more one or the other... Why will it be different this time... my approach has changed and I have a fantastic wife who will be my guide, my coach and my supporter...
So imagine it is back in March 2010... although I'm writing this in June 2010...
I'm 85kg, 25% body fat. I've moved to a country where obesity is almost the norm, where portions in restaurants are huge, where the food is full of fat, sugar and salt and even salads are lathered in rich, fat, unhealthy dressings... A bit of a challenge!
The tools I have are my mind, my stubbornness, my wife, a couple of dumb bells and a Vision 6200HRT Elliptical Trainer we bought in Australia and hardly used...
