As a teenager I represented my country in Judo, Swmming and Gymnastics. I played rugby to a county standard, played football for a local team and dabbled in a bit of boxing.
I had a good physique that included a six pack.
Then I turned 18, went to university and discovered beer. I stopped the sport and the weight piled on.
Recently, my wife gave birth to our first child, two months shy of my 29th birthday.
On a visit to see my parents before my birthday, the topic of my previous sporting achievements came up together with my lost six pack to which my wife said "you'll never get that back".
This statement woke me up a little and my thoughts moved to my son. I want to be able to play sports with him and help him develop if that is his interest, but my current physique may not allow that. I decided to get fit.
In order to achieve this, I need to set myself a goal, and my wife's statement keeps echoing in my head. So, my target is to get the six pack back. As any objective it needs to be smart:
Specific: get a six back
Measurable: progress photos
Achievable: certainly is
Realistic: I hope so
Timely: before I turn 30.
So that gives me 12 months (11 left) to get from 230lb to a six pack. I predict this will require me to get down to around 196lb.
Let's see how I do, 34lb to lose, 12lb gone, 22lb to go.
