I was really fit when I was younger. I started a gym in the local area with a partner. It was called the Leviathon Gym. We opened it with money from the charity The Princes Trust. Unfortunately my partner squandered the profits so we had to close. I then went to work for the YMCA as a gym instructor. I did the BAWLA and NABBA course also Boxercise and loved boxing. I used to run every morning and evening and loved training. Unfortunately due to personal commitments of an ill family member all of my time began to be taken up, therefore my health failed too. I suffered depression and had years of bad luck and bad choices. Thus me being the most unfit and heavy that I have ever been. Every year I make that 'New Years Bollox' and say this is the year I'm going to do it. Well this year I am.
I started losing weight on 1st January, 2017. I'm down 23lb up until today (13.03.2017) I used to train at Fitness First but i was sick of the Instructors looking at me like i should be at home knitting. So I bought the equipment for a home gym. All Hardcastle equipment and lose weights. We are moving soon to a larger property - I am claiming the top floor as mine and the gym will be bigger, better and my cave to hide away.
I'm not the most sociable anymore, have no mates, and tbh don't want any, I have an amazing wife and two fab step kids. I have two cats and a dog. The rest can go fck itself.
I want to rediscover me. Re-discover my love of weight training. And by fck I am going to do it. Just watch me!
