About Me

I have come into 2012 with a strong desire to be more healthy and reduce my weight to something more acceptable for a man of my age and height. On the 1st of Jan 2012 at the age of 45 and height of 6ft 2in, I weighed in at 18st 2lbs (that's 256 lbs or 116kg). I have a pretty large frame and have always been able to carry a bit of excess baggage but I think its time to do something about it for my health and energy levels more than anything else. The experts suggest that for a man of my height and age I should be about 13.5 st but I have set myself a target of 15 st (210lbs or 95kg) - thats a planned loss of around 3 st (46lbs or 20kg) This BLOG is a record of my attempt to achieve this goal and I have made it public to help keep me motivated and on track. If you have any comments, thoughts or ideas and suggestions please feel free to leave me a message..

Eventpost 32 - Exmoor 2 Day Trial - Enough is Enough

We went down to Exmoor at the weekend for the Acorns 2 day Trial - perhaps a canoe or even a snorkel and flippers would have suited the conditions better as it didnt stop raining all weekend!

Still not fully recovered from my sprained wrist at Mamble, I wasn't really on it to be honest but I managed to finish 3rd on day 1 on the Clubman route and had a few decent rides even though every dab was painful on the slippery rocks as my knee just dodnt feel up to the job.

Over night the knee began to swell up and the wrist became more sore so I decided to give day 2 a miss and it got me thinking about whether I am actually enjoying it as much as I was - the answer honestly was no, so that's it - I have decided to pack it all in.

I put my Beta on Ebay last night along with some bits and pieces and have decided to stop.

Thanks for your comments whilst I have been keeping this blog and if you want to get in touch please use my email davedawson444@btinternet.com or join facebook and add me as a friend.
