in Introduce Yourself
Just wanted to check-in and say Hi to everyone out there.
A brief background about me.
I am a 42yr old retired Police Officer, now Personal Trainer who loves endurance sports.
I started running 4yrs ago at 115kgs and got my weight down to the mid 80's late last year.
However, a few recent things in my life have led to my weight ballooning again and I cant seem to get it under control.
Medication for PTSD are not helping, nor the fact that I am primary carer for my terminally ill wife with breast cancer.
Last week I managed to run the Gold Coast marathon in 4hrs57min, which was 15min slower then when I last ran
it 3 yrs ago.
My weight is sitting at 98kgs, which is scaring my and considering that I might be a sole parent to my 2 daughters in
the near future, I need to find my health again and be around for them.
Looking forward to the accountability that this site bring.

    Hello my name is lesley Ann so sorry to read about your wife. My thought are with you. I am in the same age bracket as you 43 also in need of inspiration. I am a teacher and finding it harder to achieve general fitness possibly due to lack of motivation and overall working too many hours. Would love if you could add me
