getting fit - the backstory……

So whats this all about?

For many years I trained and fenced three times a week and hot the gym daily - working in the gym helped greatly but the upshod of it all was that I was a (relatively) trim 12st 5lbs.

Enter 2 kids, wife and self employment - out goes the gym, out goes the fencing and on go the pounds. So currently I am somewhere around 16st 10lbs and I have had enough.

Recently I took a huge step in my life and health by quitting smoking. After 25 years of smoking I went cold turkey with patches and finally did it. Unsurprisingly on went a few more pounds but hey - its not that I mind as I can do something about a few extra pounds; I cant do much about lung cancer!

So heres the plan……

As an incentive I am going to chart my progress (or epic fail) online and in pictures to see just how I get on.

I desperately want to get back to fencing and competing on a national level and so I need to do this. So tomorrow is going to be day 1.

Photos up and belly out :)
