A new start - why I’m writing this blog
Right thats it. I’ve had enough. Over the past few years I’ve gradually been getting fat. I work in IT in a “sedentary” job and have been lazy. 5 years ago I was running half marathons and now I’m 28 years old, 5′ 7” and 17 stone - hopefully if your reading this in a few months time its a different story. I’ve decided enough is enough and its time to make an effort.
This blog will hopefully keep me motivated throughout the months I try and get fit and healthy again. I also hope that this blog will inspire other people to do the same, that is if I manage to do it and keep at it. I figured it wouldn’t hurt either if I let more people know about what I’m doing so its more pressure to keep it up.
I also have the added motivation of having a baby due in May 2010 - I want to get fit for her so I’m not the Fat Dad!
Well here goes, bye bye Fatboy, hello Slim!
