To me, this is fairly important because I'm getting older. I guess the reality of the situation is really starting to sink in now that I'm past 40 and realizing that "tomorrow" isn't necessarily a bright and happy day filled with possibility, but more of a thing to dread because it's part of a downward spiral into death.
Cheery, huh?
Anyway, I did pretty good on this front a few years ago. I used to weigh about 130 kg and got down to 70kg through diet and exercise. Since then I've ballooned back up to about 97.1kg as of this morning.
Here are some pictures to prove the carnage on my waistline (enjoy the manboobs)

I'm going to keep a picture once a week. Maybe I'll be able to do a photo collage at some point, won't that be exciting? Anyway, this is old ground I've tread on before, so I do know what I need to do - I just need to do it.
That being said, my fitness goals are as such:
- Drop from 97.1kg to 70kg.
- Be able to run a half marathon (21km) in under 2 hours and 30 minutes.
- Benchpress 110% of my weight (this is 90th percentile for my age group)
Depending on how you look at it, these are either impressive goals or "realistic goals" for someone who puts in a lot of effort. Anyway, first - I need to focus on diet and nutrition. More on that later.
