Due to a number of factors I haven't been able to do any exercise other than walking over the last few days. I have however done plenty of walking recently and I have continued to try to eat a better and more balanced diet. This week I am not at work so it is easy … Continue reading Still Trying

Weigh In
Today is my second day of this diet and I decided that it was a good idea to weigh myself so that I could see my progress as I go along. My weight as of this morning is 215.2 lbs. I am not happy with this weight but it is to be expected after not doing … Continue reading Weigh In
Diet Starts Today!
As of today I am going back to tracking my calories.

Work/Life Balance
I know a lot of people that spend many more hours than they are paid for working.

The big thing that … Continue reading Work/Life Balance

Life is Precious

It is more the small everyday things like speeding or not getting the recommended medial checks or eating poorly or smoking. Most people don't take these things seriously, they think … Continue reading Life is Precious
Feeling Fat

Worst Run Ever
I set off for my run this afternoon and it was pretty much the same as any other run. I was quite hot and by about 2km in I was regretting my choice to wear a small running jacket. By the time I got to 3km however, this decision showed to be a good move. … Continue reading Worst Run Ever
