Time For An Update....

As usual its been a while since I put anything up on here, In fact its been nearly a year already......

So, thank you to Martin, Katerina and John for kicking my ass via email and prompting this update :-), I didn't realize it had been so long.

For me the last 12 months have been a bit of a roller coaster year with various things going on, not least of all is that i started back at the gym last August with all intention of losing all of the weight I had piled on. I'm sorry to say that I haven't put all of the commitment into the gym as I thought I would be doing and social engagements kind of kept me off routine but hey, what u gonna do :-) I am glad to report though that from a massive 200+ lbs and a 37 inch waist whilst on a break in the U.K, I am now a fighting fit 168lbs and sporting a 32 inches around the gut, Happy days, Still more to go though cus Ive still got a bit of a pop belly (Read beer) but I'm working on that so watch this space. Here are  a couple of the Work In Progress photo's.

The mid way result being........

As I said, still a long way to go, but at least I'm kind of on the path, even if I do fall off the wagon occasionally.

Andrew Cave went back to the U.K. after a 2 year stint here as Mercedes Benz Service Manager but before he left in April he finally decided to take me up on the challenge and get into the gym with me in January on my routine.Have to say I'm proud of him, met me at 04:00am every morning and we were in the gym and going at it on the treadmills or bikes by 04:30 pretty much every weekday, then hit the weights for an hour before work. You wouldnt recognize Andrew from before last Christmas and he is pretty much half the man he used to be (LOL) and is looking great. I'm glad to say that even though he is back in the U.K. he has kept up with the gym routine and he's enjoying it thoroughly. (You can get Andrew on his usual hotmail address if you want to catch up with him, if you don't have his email then let me know and I will send it to you)

The best thing about having great friends is that they may come and go, but they never leave you :-) Who knows when the Muppet's will roll out again.... watch this space!!

More to come.....
