A Day Off, and Promise Fulfilled!
Okay, so here it is. The photo of phatfighter. It's not the most flattering shot ever, but it isn't supposed to be. Rather it is meant to provide a record of what I was like, and track my progress from this point on. This should be a good start, and reminds me that I still have a long way to go to get to where I want to be. At the same time I look at this and think how much better it was than when I started out on this fight against fat. It is inspiration for me to keep going.I had a great night last night. My partner and I had a nice meal at home, the roast I made was pretty bloody good even if I say so myself! I prefected the potatoes, and the chicken was moist and tender. I did well, and most of all I managed to beat the craving for KFC! I haven't even thought of it today until just now writing this up! Yay, freedom from the temptation of that Colonel and his tasty chicken!
Tomorrow will be a more action packed day for us. We are going to head out to Bondi which is another beach around the Sydney area. It is a bit more built up (being closer to Sydney proper) than where we were last weekend, and we expect to be able to get in a good half hour walk from the train station to Bondi Beach proper, and the next beach Coogee. I'm also getting up and hitting the gym before we take off to get in some exercise and stretch the muscles a bit. I'm really looking forward to getting in there, this day off has treated me well!
It wasn't all roast chicken and diet mousse today however! The first day of Spring here gave us good weather, 26 degrees celsius. We took the opportunity to get outside and clean up the yard a bit. We also gave the house a good going over and everything is looking tip top. I did more than my fair share and I reckon housework is good exercise.
My team is playing again this weekend, so my partner, myself, and her cousin are venturing out to the local pub to see how they get on. The game doesn't start until about 10:00p.m so it will be another late night again tonight. Now that I have been to the pub a few times and stayed away from temptation, I am sure that it wont present any issues this week. I'm feeling good, and feeling on top of everything. Long may this last!

Yeah, damn those springboks, they made me eat 10 chocolate biscuits, but I think I sweated it off yelling through the whole game. If that lineout doesn't get sorted out, I think the Colonel will be the winner.
As for the photo, I notice an improvement from when I saw you last. Keep it up.
Nice to hear that you notice an improvement mate. It is hard for me to gague because before I started this I avoided the camera and mirrors like I was going to catch something fatal from them! You'd be hard pressed to find a photo of me in the last couple of years I reckon.
It is good to have a record now, something that I can use to gague my progress as I move closer to my goals. Thanks for the encouragement mate, it really helps.
