This is the start of a new era...

It is the start of a new me.

Yesterday I went to karate for the first time in 12ish years. Went with my son, Isaac and he thought it was awesome. I realised I have missed it so much. It's always been one of the few things I've ever done that I've legitimately enjoyed.

This is the sucky part
The exercise nearly killed me. My face was bright red, I noticed I was the only person in the room sweating profusely and when I got home I ended up with zigzags in my vision that were moving around which developed into temporarily blurred vision in one eye. I also had a weird experience with my foot where it didn't work for around 20 seconds but then went back to normal. Today I am aching all over.

All because I'm fat and unfit.

I want to continue with karate, but I want to be able to get through a class without dying. I want to be a good role model for my son (And daughter, but that's currently irrelevant to this point in my post).

I wouldn't mind just not being fat. If I was on the smaller side and actually fit, I think I'd be a lot happier. Currently the happiest I've been in my life, but I'm sure I could improve on it.

This is where this blog comes in. I want to get fit and lose some weight and I know that I've just got bored of stuff like this so many times in my life. If I document my journey through a blog I think I'll do better because it might motivate me not to quit and be lazy.

I'm on a quest to turn my fat into fit and I'm determined it's going to work.

This is all I'm going to write for now, but expect daily updates.

Watch this space.
