Exercise Exercise Exercise

Well... I have been watching my weight and diet for the past 3 weeks after a very stern warning from my Doctor (love you Richard lol), that my waist was now a 40 inch and my blood pressure was very high.  

To look at me I am like a stick insect, however for the past year I have had a very sedentary life, working hard but not being very active. I think part of this comes from my view that I spent 22 years in the Army, exercising almost every day, and having to do it. So that when you leave you become very complacent and tend to rely on your memory of how fit you were 20 years ago and still see yourself that way.

I must admit watching TV and relaxing is very comfortable, also eating WHATEVER you like is absolutely decadent, until the dreaded time comes when you just cant get that button done up, or you have to squeeze your waist in like a corset into trousers that used to fit you easily, especially when  I used to be a 28 inch for ever.... So now its watching the calories in and the calories out. As always I have become OCD around this, poor old Sonya has to put up with me going on about it and you would think i was a 300 pound guy instead of a knot in a piece of string 65kg.

But I am getting there, I am pleased to say that I have reduced by blood pressure to almost normal now, lost about 4 kg, (not a lot I know but it is to me) and do actually feel better. If anything it was the kick the arse that I needed.

So if anybody reading this feels disheartened, stick with it, it will all come good in the end.

Tragedy in Gay Paris

The Islamic and Muslim community will have to be prepared for a public backlash. Imagine the ordinary citizens of Paris, that have had a hard day at work and decided to go out for a Friday evening of fun and relaxation, unfortunately this isn't going to happen, it very swiftly turned into death, mayhem and destruction for almost 130 innocent people, not to mention the 90 who are on the critical list and the other 300 injured.

The recent events in Paris have rocked the world, this has came at a time when Syria is on on the front-page of the news, mainly due to involvement by Russia, (not to mention putting USA's nose out of joint).

It is perhaps unfortunate that the politically correct in the western world disallow the populace to voice their opinion, too late, the die is now cast and it will be seen, as the French President stated today that this was an act of war, borders are now closed and many other EU countries are following suit.

Tony Abbot stated this to the EU parliament just last week, and was duly criticized, well.... WELL DONE TONY, its about time somebody stated what is on everyone's minds but unfortunately no-one has the common sense to actually voice it.

The effect this will have on the current stream of refugees with the EU area will be profound, already it is being stated that one of the terrorists was only recently accepted via Greece as a refugee, how many more are there, not to mention the hidden cells already set up waiting to operate?
