A little context for this blog

Hi there,

A little about me.  I am someone who despite many, many good things in my life sometimes fails to maintain a positive state of mind and a balanced and happy lifestyle.  Given my professional background I should know better...

This blog will be me sharing my experiences over the course of a as few months as I undertake a lifestyle transformation program.  I'm not doing this alone.  I'll be assisted by one of Brisbane's best and most experienced personal trainers.

I expect this to be difficult and yet rewarding.

I am someone who values personal fitness.  I'm nearly 40.  Have at points in my life been very fit but have found it unsustainable.  I have done zero exercise for over 6 months.  In that time I've added several inches around my waist,  more than 10kgs of weight and increased my bodyfat to over 20%.  I have a long history with smoking on and off  (more on than off unfortunately).  I drink too regularly, and usually to excess when I do.

I run my own business, am time poor and don't usually ask for help.

If I can do what I set out to do, I know you can too.  Wish me luck, and lets go see what we can do.
