Big day is almost here

It's almost upon us! I'm pleased to report I've finished all my present shopping (still waiting for a couple of things from Amazon.com but Firebox.com have been AWESOME!!!)

I've cut back a little on the exercise this past week. I've lost a good amount of weight since I started and I'm in great condition for the Holidays coming up. When I say I've cut back, I'm down to the 3 days a week instead of 5 but I'm still doing the hour a day. I surprised myself out on the bike yesterday and I put it all down to the loss of weight. Loving it, and long may it continue!

We're heading out for drinks after work this evening, everyone is coming and it'll be great to catch up with everyone before Christmas. I hope whatever you're up to it's with people that matter and you have a great time. I'll write again soon!

Time to breathe

I never thought I'd end up being so happy to update this thing, especially as often as I have been! I don't know if it's because of work and my needing to let of a little steam, or just because it's quite cathartic. Whatever it is, I'm quite into it. Oh, and my exercise!

This week I've pushed my workouts up to a full hour a day. The guide says I can do 45 minutes 3 days a week but I'm loving the new look I've got! It's been years since I was this trim, and I've really only just started out with this!

Oh, and I've had a few people ask me what I'm using to get these results. Follow the link below:

And yes, I'd recommend this to anyone!

Work is steadily getting calmer. Everyone seems to have caught up with everything they have to do before the break and we've now got 4 guys out of the office on extended vacations. Will has already headed up to Whistler (I'm meant to be going skiing with him & his friends over Christmas) and Daves family have swarmed in from all over the country. Fun for all!

Time to get back to it. Until next time!

Quick update

I don't have long to post today. I'm writing this at work and it's been a killer of a day but I wanted to tell everyone my good news. I've been working out for 2 weeks now and my body is changing stupidly quickly. If Santa is good to me and brings me the Canon I've asked for I'll get some pictures online soon.

Back to the phone, still got a lot to do before I can call it a day!

Stay happy, Santas' coming soon!

At this rate I'll need a whole new wardrobe before January is out!

It hurts!

But I'm hoping it's worth it.

Since my last post I've been doing an awful lot of digging online trying to find some advice or a workout plan that can't fail to make me lose a large chunk of this fat I'm carrying around with me. Well, I found one! It's called the 'Turbulence Training' and it's been reviewed in Mens Health, Mens Fitness magazine and a couple of other places and seems to have gotten everyone really fired up! And if those guys are taking it seriously (with their access to flash gyms and personal trainers) then its got to work for me as well, right?

We don't have many gyms in this area and the ones we have are of the Boxing type than the 24 Hour Fitness type. No juice bars or lap pools here. All my fitness efforts will have to be at home or on the bike so I needed something that would work that way or that I could adapt to work for wherever I was. The great thing about the plan I'm on now is that I can take any of the exercises and techniques featured and put them to use pretty much anywhere. Perfect! So I've been using it for a couple of days now and I'm feeling sore in places I'd forgotten existed. It's hard work but it's got to be worth it!

So my goal is to lose 5lbs this month and 5lbs every month until I reach my 'ideal' weight. Anything more than that is a bonus! I'll keep this blog updated with how I'm doing. And everything else of course.

Wish me luck!
