Progress

I have a dream.  That dream is to be an awesome blogger who sends out a post more than one a week or so!  But, as fate would have it, I have not yet achieved that yet.

So, I have made progress in the last ten days.  I have walked the dog (the big bruiser in the photo,) I have been swimming in the pool with five energetic children, and I have had a fairly comprehensive mindset change about food!

My wife (who does not yet know the extent of my scales humiliation) has told me that I'm starting to look great, especially around the chin.  I tend to lose the flab around my face before it shows up anywhere else.

I have noticed a difference in my fitness.  I know, I know, "What fitness can a 150kg  monster lay claim to?"  But from the first fair-dinkum exercise I have done, until today, I can feel the difference.

This morning I completed a 4.51km walk in 48.44 minutes.  I was happy with this.  I very nearly quit about half way through, due to shin splints, but pushed through the pain.  My split times per kilometer decreased, and I had a fantastic walk in the end.

The moral of that story is: If you feel like quitting, or you think it's too hard, just keep pushing!

That's it for today.
