Taking Control

leeroyukmfp

H All,

I am Lee. I'm 38 - almost 39 - and am going to get fit.

My weight has fluctuated in recent years, between chunky and chubby. Partly the demands of my job have prevented me from keeping fit and busyness has led me to have a poor diet. This has made me feel unattractive, unfit, depressed and old.

In years past I was very fit - I ran a half marathon in 2008 and at that point was also working out five times a week minimum.

I have made the decision to get in shape and to do so better than I did before. This time I am giving up red meat and severely cutting back alcohol, and my exercise regime will focus on health, flexibility, strength and a calm mind, rather than vanity, muscle building, competition and machismo, as before.

Last January I quit smoking, and have stayed quit. This January, I have committed as my new year's resolution to take my physical and mental health to full potential.

I am psyched that I've made the decision, and feel superb 1.5 weeks in.

I hope you are all enjoying the motivation of improving yourself.

Pleased to meet you and to be a part of this community.
Lee
