Road to health.

Its been slightly over a month since i posted a blog about my 'Road To Health' and i thought id write a small blog as a update and as a personal diary for myself, this is not just about weight loss, Its about mental attitudes towards one's self and my surrounding hurdles.

Well where do i begin, this month has had its ups and its downs. Iv tried being pro-active everyday in my food intake and exercise and I think this has paid off, I am able to cycle longer distances in ever decreasing times and cycling up hills is becoming easier and dare I say it 'more enjoyable'. I'm trying to cycle minimum of 8miles a day with a maximum of 20-24miles, this has become a religious act for me where my mind can just switch off and focus on gear change and pedaling alone, its my great therapy.

Iv also taken up a weight loss challenge amongst me and a few friends, to lose 2 stone by July the 22nd, we all weighed in at the start and now i'm trying not to go back on the scales until the end date because i fear the danger of becoming addicted to weight checking after every poop and after every meal. This is a good challenge and keeps me more focused and dedicated to winning because its all about the winning not the taking part (just kidding)

Im slowly but surely beginning to like the way I look and I am now sporting the clean shaven look(first time since I was sixteen)

I still have a long way to go and diet change does bring its down factors like mood swings and iv had allot of them this past month. Il keep you updated.

The road to health is long

Forge On....

The sign on the door of opportunity reads PUSH!!

This has been on my heart and in my dreams for some years and now i am starting to see it unfold before me in seed form. This seed/vision being a Didgeridoo business.

The Vision

It has been a long term desire of mine to create and sell my own handmade Didge/Yidaki

but have never pursued this heart pull until recently when I had a vision of a shop which quiet frankly looked like a hobbits art gallery but instead of art on the walls there were didgeridoo's, Very few didge's on display but the best of the best,the cream of the crop being lit by spot lights in-front of stoney whitewashed walls, Instantly i knew that this is what i'm suppose to be doing with myself.

The First Breath

After a month of mulling upon this idea/vision the enormity started to hit me, I have no experience in making didge's let alone trying to sell them and where was i going to get the money and skills to achieve this didge empire, then I decided to get in contact with a well respected Yidaki company in Queensland Australia and asked them if it would be ok if they would be my wholesaler and they said 'Yes' to my surprise, I'm only going to wholesale into the U.K as a short term plan until I get enough experience in didgecraft to create my own pieces of art. Now where am I going to get this money from? Currently I am working with the Princes trust, drawing up business plans and thinking about marketing skills and attending courses but through all these things they can possibly help me receive funding through a grant or long term loan.Fingers crossed. Until the business starts to grow I will be selling via the internet going under the name Didgebag possibly...

This is early days and who knows what is going to happen but i'l keep you all posted on how things are progressing. Lets hope this seed grows into a tree bearing lots of fruit.
