WOW..... Time Flies By

So its been almost 9 months since I last did an update, I'm Slipping badly with keeping the blog up to date as I promised but thanks for the nudging emails :-)

Well, I'm still in Jamaica right now with the Stewarts Group as Aftersales and Bodyshop Manager, we have added Jaguar and Landrover to the mix and given BMW up to another dealer.

This Weeks Adventure, Mystic Brownies, Ziplining down a mountain, Pum Pum and Bobsled......... Phew What a Day!!!!!

Well, Like I said, What a day ;-)

Decided to take a trip out to Mystic Mountain in Ocho Rios this weekend.

Mystic is one of the main tourist attractions but having been here for 2 and a 1/2 years I've never been.

So the day started with a nice leisurely drive from Kingston to Ochi on the new highway which I have to say is fantastic for cutting down on time but bloody steep to get up.

Its That Time of the Year ...... Again......

Well, in my last post I showed you that I have been trying to get myself fit, or fitter at least. Well this is the time of the year when Digicel (Our biggest mobile phone network provider) and the Digicel Foundation host their annual 5 Kilometer Walk/Run event to raise funds for children with special needs.

Being as I had only started back in the gym in the August, the thought of running a 5K in October was kind of daunting but at the time I was working out and being put through my paces by my friend Oneal who doesn't really give up when it comes to training. So my company Stewarts is a big supporter of several charities and organizations and they just happen to enter a corporate team each year which I became part of......

Originally, given my state of fitness I decided that I would take the WALK option, but, Oneal had different ideas and we embarked on what became a merciless training regime. Here's the route in Downtown Kingston.

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........

Greetings From Jamaica...............

Surfs Up..............

Here we go again, I'm back in the trade....... Strange how the motor trade has a habit of not letting you go...

There I was, enjoying being my own boss and making the rules up as I went along when along comes a job in Qatar back in the Middle East via an agency that I was with way back when.
That didn't happen because after 3 months and a few telephone interviews which went very well, they decided to promote somebody from within the company ........ hmmm... "why waste my time?" I thought
