Ok well, I been full of false starts and unkept promises to myself the last year or so now, and hiding behind excuses as to why I did not need to worry abut losing weight but the reality of the matter is that I have not lost weight for some time and I should.

So this week end I took my son up to Penlan and got him inducted into the gym there and set both of us up with the passport to leisure and a monthly subscription to the sports facilities (Activa Duo).

So after a gentle weekend getting back into the swing of going to the gym and warming my muscles up to swimming again its time for me to refocus my efforts.

So its Monday morning and I weighted in at a whopping 18 stone 8.6lb.  Certainly A lot of work to do there , even to just get back down to where I was 15 months back.

Its going to be a challenge but I am hoping to get down to 16stone (or at least in the 16 stone area) by the end of the year, so that’s over 2.5 stone in just under 4 months.  Oddly enough it is do-able, but only if I really focus on this intensely.

My girlfriend is also going to try to concentrate on losing some weight but being a gentleman I will not disclose how much.  And the same applies to my son,  He weighted in yesterday and was shocked himself as to how much he was, so is intent on losing weight as well.  I have set a target of a pound a week for him so it should be easily achievable and can then lose a stone by Christmas which would be nice for him.

So a health crazy bunch we all are init
