this was part of my new years resolutions back in Jan.

• start a sport again
• stick to a healthy diet (eating left over pizza while i type this, lol)

i started action soccer again back in Jan and the one problem i am having is, fitness. i almost died when i played my first game. i used to be able to run up and down nonstop 2 years ago and never get tired. sadly, thinking one might still be able to do it now doesn’t work.

anyhoo, i started training outdoor soccer again at sunningdale football club out in parklands. i started there last week and we are working on our fitness. fitness is a key part in any sport and the coach is drilling us hard. last week i almost died as it was the first time i had run like that since the last time i played for bellville city which was 2 seasons ago. i tend to train hard and get back to the fitness form i was back then. hyperactive geoff running around not getting tired. it is something to work and strive for. going to be hard work but whoever said that it was going to be easy is lying.

but apart from the fitness and that, i need to look at my eating habits too. as from today i am cutting out alot of fattening things and starting to eat more healthy. yes i know i have picked up a bit of weight, especially on the belly side. but this is a perfect opportunity to get rid of some of this weight! it is going to be hard, real hard to resist the temptations i need some encouragement and also the willpower for this! i need to weigh myself and see how much i lose and keep track of it.

i wonder if i should keep a statistical update on what i eat and weight each week here. would be interesting to see how it goes and also get some feedback from you guys and gals
