Recently remarried and a father of a wild teenage girl.

Tied to a desk subjugated to bureaucracy and becoming a grumpy old man. Likes all types of food and beer.

Discovered the zen delights of running in a group about 2 years ago - quickly dropped 10kg but now sees the weight creeping up again (unfortunately regular exercise is not a license to eat what you want).

Now cycling as well yet sees the advantages of weight loss for the knee's sake and cycle speed - would like to run a marathon in the next two years.

I plan to drop 10kg by the end of the year which will take me to a place I haven't been to since I was 18 years old.

My weakness is mid afternoon cravings, morning teas and beer - not just the beer but the chips, dips, nuts which go so nicely with it.
