THAT is gonna hurt in the morning....

First day back at the gym.  After a busy day of tidying and cleaning, finally got to the gym...only to find it packed with big muscly blokes.  In Karratha it seems to be all about the upper body, and tribal tattoos, all on very short men.   Something weird going on there.   I don't know the last time i sweated that much, but thats what you get for being a lazy tart for 2 years.
There are some really beautiful hills right next to the main road, that will be right across from where we will be living.   I hope once i acclimatize a bit more to the humidtity i can go riding and walk the dog there, maybe even climb to the top.  Will just try not to think about the snakes.....a big stick might be in order there!

Sick.....but better now

Computer got THE nastiest bug, and life got in the way.  Back on track now hopefully.
Have moved 1500 km north of Perth to Karratha.  Surrounded by red dirt and rocks, salt flats and mine sites, its what i imagine living on Mars would be like, along with the difficulty to breath :/  Fairly humid and hot.
Busy helping family move house this week, get kids to school but also hope to post some pics and show the sights.

Nutritarian or die! .....no really

After years of self abuse as a chef, late nights, copious amounts of alcohol, many many long hours, junk food and really bad eating habits in general, enough is really enough.  Considering what i have put myself through i am lucky my health is as good as it is.  I know it could be better.  So hopefully this will help me keep on track, because there is nothing worse than having to write down transgressions.

Dabbles in vegetarianism with the odd ill advised bout with veganism, i have come to the conclusion that i need to stop looking for a label and go with what i know to be a more sensible way of life. Afflictions i know i have are asthma and arthritis, nothing else diagnosed at this point, so i would like to see if this way of life can improve these problems and prevent others.

So...the plan ...

•  Firstly, eat for nutrition, where possible, which sounds obvious but in reality is quite hard in some of the situations i am frequently in and bad habits i have.
• Gradually introduce more exercise, considering i do none at the moment, that wont be hard to improve.
• Eventually see a nutritionist, after all of the years of reading magazines, books and online research, i think its only fair to see if i have learned enough about what i really need to do...and then see if i was doing it right.
• possibly other things i can't think of at the moment.....but i definitely think that's enough to be going on with.

The plan isn't so much for a food blog as a lifestyle record and hopefully some pretty pictures.
