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..

Beezerpost 26


Well, we're off to a quick start on the build thanks to Porl Joynes at Redditch Shot Blasting (Tel 01527 529659) who turned the frame around in one day!!! Dad dropped it off this morning and collected it back looking all black and shiny this afternoon.

Looks like the build will begin (tomorrow) much sooner than we had expected.

In addition, I had some good news yesterday after a brief chat with Piers Dowell (you might recall the union jack paint job that Piers did on my Sprite tank)and he has agreed to put a bit of paint on the new tank. Watch this space on that - he thinks he can turn it around in a couple of weeks so it should be done just in time for the next BMCA championship trial in a couple of weeks.

Today's picture is of the frame on the stand this evening waiting for things to begin. I will post pictures of the build as it takes shape during the coming days - hope you like it....
