10 years of being fat and lazy finally over by wiifitobese

so entered a mini triathlon to have some motivation after my wii-fit told me i was obese, and i saw myself on a video screen. Oh my goodness if ever you need a dose of reality then that would do it.

and theres me thinking clothing manufacturers were just making clothes smaller!

so this morning instead of taking my 2 year old daughter swimming on my own, my wife came with us so i could put some lengths in. this mini triathlon requires an 800m swim. not much to all you healthy folk and so my brain told me, not much for me. its amazing how the brain retains memories of how you used to be able to do things, but it just cant tell the body to complete the memory.

anyhow in the middle lane with the over 50s, shouldnt be  a problem. is this pool 33m or 25m, hmm looks 33. ok 2 lengths later of front stroke, with my elbows on fire, my heart escaping out of my chest and my lungs feeling like they have collapsed i decide that my inital baseline is somewhat worse than i first thought.

walking out of the pool, looking somewhat pale and feeling a bit hazy, must be the contact lenses:-) i decide that with only 70 days to go, i  really am in trouble
