Days 64 to 69 – “Where’s my head at”

Been contemplating my committment to the challenge  over the last few days.  I have been doing well with the exercise part but have been have been having the approach to my food that near enough is good enough.  I have always been a bit of a rebel, especially with things that are strict and where it requires discipline.  Hence this challenge is such a good challenge for me.

Really want to have a super few weeks prior to the retreat and I think one of the best ways for me to do that is to commit to doing a food diary and being absolutely honest with myself.

If only you could have a senor on your mouth which recorded everything that passed your lips, could be some interesting entries though.

My big target for the challenge is to get to under 80kg. So I need to remove another 7.5kg in 6 weeks so my target I need to be removing around 1.3kg per week.

Comitting to giving it my best shot here.

I am committed to being my best (just need to mute a few voices in my head, or ignore them).



Days 43 – 63 “Gone Walk About”

Well you would think that I have.  Thanks for the nudge Bex and Joanne.

Well it is fair to say that it has been an extremely busy last 3 weeks but it has been enjoyable.  My wife, Andrea, has been doing a locum so we have been sharing income earning and child raising reponsibilities which has been quite a juggle but has worked well and I have really enjoyed having more time with my son.

I have remained realtively committed to the challenge, although my progress has slowed a bit, but looking to be even more committed for the last 50 days.  I have kept up with my exercise and am looking to do 3 circuit classes a week which I am finding fantastic.  Really pushes me beyond where I would push myself.

Getting some great help from Ruchard Wheelan here in Christchurch and find him just great to deal with.  We are dealing with a lot of emotional issues too which are getting in the way of me achievig my potential.

Sorry I haven’t been blogging more and getting onto toher people’s blogs but with starting up my business and sharing parenting duties I barely seem to have 5 mins to spare in a day at the moment.

So looking forward to the retreat and getting to know those also on the retreat but need to get myself in the best shape I can before getting there.

I had a big buss yesterday when I had a new BIA done and I have knocked 8 years off my biological age. My wife will be a cradle snathcher if I keep that up!!!!!

Lots of love and support to you all and remember chase the dream … not the competition.
