ordinary start. extraordinary mid morning :)
andrew phones. and the news to reach my ears is superb!
he has lost 15kgs so far :) AND - and its the and that is even better - he is ready to up the ante! i could not be happier for him! superb.
the part i actually like best is that it's a good weight loss - it isn't too fast, it isn't too slow. its consistent with the exercise he has been doing and the food he has been eating. and. its achievable - creating a lifestyle plan that can be held onto for... LIFE! not some fitness fad, that, once it isn't sustained, once life takes over, - results in weight gain, plus some extra luggage.
its been managed and maintained and continued - through - hours upon hours of voluntary work (which would send many of us off to the land of don't care and takeaway), two cyclones, a deployment to rocky to help in the floods, AND the
briefer? its been managed, maintained and continued - through - the ups and downs of real, everyday life!
funny thing is, i had already planned on 1st march to bring it up with him, 'upping' things ... he has been 'walking' now for nearly 2 months ... most days much longer than 3kms, but the consistency has been fantastic. but now it is time to, not increase the distance, but to increase the intensity - we talked about the gym, increasing the walking speed, adding in some running, adding in some hills, adding in other extras - push ups, sit ups, etc. - just pushing the body just that little bit further, slowly... he talks of playing squash, (play play play, NO excuses!) he has a bike - (get out and ride it with the kids in tow!!)
PLUS - not only does he want to up the ante - he wants to do a 5km or 10km run in september !!!!!!!! (definitely need to start some running then :D ) in brisbane! w00t friggin' w00t - one of the best phone calls to get is from someone who has discovered for themselves they are ready to lift their game, have a goal in mind and are so happy with where they are heading.
that is MUCH better than me, getting to a 'date' and then bringing it up with him. that it comes from within andrew is a recognition that means it WILL happen. you can only ever do anything for - yourself!
i can help, i can support, i can cluck around like a proud mother hen! but, it all has to come from andrew, wanting change for himself. and .... it is :D
congratulations on 15kgs so far, and - cheers to the next 15 to come :)
a whole new world awaits
