the original goal set at the beginning of the year was not about losing or concentrating on 'kg's ... it was to accomplish 1095kms of walking for the year - at a nice steady rate of 3kms a day! an introduction to the feel good benefits of exercising ... that *anybody* could achieve - even those who felt there was 'nothing they could do' physically
the weight loss - became over time an incidental (known) side effect - definite proof - of how, introducing regular exercise into your life, (simply put? consistent effort) - can give fantastic results - for anyone.
the first few weeks were REALLY tough ... although starting off on a struggling to complete 3kms foot journey - andrew has achieved fantastic physical and health results.
the weight has come down ... the fitness levels have risen!
during the whole year, he has never given up ... even the days when not feeling/wanting to do anything, (a position we all will find ourselves in from time to time) he has still always made sure, the 3kms was completed. with the knowledge, we ALWAYS feel better when we do what we set out to regardless our negative state of mind beforehand telling us we dont feel like it ...
back in march - after 10 weeks of walking ... when the need to step further out of his comfort zone was reached ... the fitness venue became a second home - and, exercise, a way of life.
over the past couple of months, andrew has continued to challenge himself physically - giving gym/training sessions, a 110% commitment ...
and the walking? a handful of days missed due to unforeseen circumstances - but with a few stored kms up his sleeve, andrew is still on track - a total of 934kms - covered so far !
