Getting Fit and Staying Fit

like having a personal trainerTwo months ago I joined www.originalbootcamp.com.au and I’ve lost 4-5 kgs. Probably because I get up every Mon, Wed and Fri at 5am, cycle for 40 mins to King’s Park, run around like a mad dog for one hour and ride back.

Dad used to jog. Before he died he did a bit of walking, but the thing that caused his esophageal cancer could not have been fixed with exercise (as many cancers can). Ongoing reflux and indigestion problems he had throughout his life resulted in a lot of acid forming at the entry to the stomach – and, much like alcohol in the oesophagus, this can alter the genetic makeup of the oesophageal / stomach join. I don’t have that problem but I do have a big appetite and recently I’ve started to curb my enthusiasm for food. Difficult when you’re doing Bootcamp.

I’ve been very sad for the last couple of days. Working like a dog on websites and marking student work. I’ve been thinking about my Dad. And in the few between times I’ve had – I wrote a song called “We Miss You Grandad” on Dead Eddy.
