It has to start. To much fat and to much laziness. I got a wake up call when one of Denmarks celebs died all to young. It was the one and only master fatman who died when he was only 53 years old of a heard attack… look at the name.. you can guess why – I don’t want to be that guy. 

This is not just a quick thought and a blog. It all started in may this year. I was on a job for 3 weeks in Spain. I had the chance to be away from family and daily life. I made the change and ate healthy all 3 weeks. After I came back to Denmark I kept doing that. basically I just skipped all the “white” poison – bread, pasta, rice and potato’s… and candy. That gave me two holes in my belt after the 3 weeks. 

When I arrived home I started to ride my city bike more than normal. I have 4.5 km to the kids school. I started to ride some extra km. after the kids where dropped off. Just 5-8 km and then in to the office. only missing half an hour of work. I also started to swim in the local habour pool. just for 35 min and 1000m. 2-3 times a week – often in my launch break.

2 weeks ago I started to look for a proper race bike.. I have always said that people are not gonna se me… a 41 year old fat guy in lycra. But now they do! I found a used bike that was really cheap on facebook. I did not want to buy a new if it was not me. So now I swim and ride my bike. 

I really don’t know my weight… I’m scared of the scale. But I think I’m around 110 kg. I’m only 168 cm…. get the point that I’m the fat guy??? I have chosen a other measurement tool:

Holes in my belt. 

Today I have gone 6 holes down. Why did I choose that instead of a scale and kg? I don’t want to get disappointed when I only have lost 200g. and thought it was 2 kg. This is a more long term way… and it’s very visible. 

I can already feel it. I can close shirts that I have been wearing open with a t-shirt under. My jeans are starting to be to loose in the legs. 

This is the beginning – the start. I will loose faith – I will get cravings for candy and gravy and mashed potato’s.. but this blog is the way to keep me on the road.. always be able to go back and look.
