Its my 26th birday today, very very big things coming up. My girlfriend is arriving in Sydney from China to visit me and spend both her and my birthday together (Yes we are born on the same day although she is 6 years younger than me!). Then I am scooting off on a 2week golf vacation with my good friends, girlfriend and sister!

On to my epic milestone~
On October 16th 2011 I weighed 84.7kg whilst only being 173cm so that my friend is really fat as you can imagine. Now the weird thing is I've never really cared about the fat jokes or felt at all insecure and I think the reason for that is I felt I was overachiever in every other aspect in life anyway.
I thought to my self; 4 years ago I was a broke student with less than $1000 in savings now I own an apartment and still have more than 7 figures banked. I've come along way success wise, but my health has suffered immensely as a result.
So I decided to just become the perfect being. The epitome of a young balla, I started with 3km runs on day 1 but by about the 30th day I had already increased my run to 10km.
I planned my calorie intake everyday (set at 1300) and planned my cardio and strength training to burn atleast 800 calories. I did this by rotating between a 2km swim or a 10km run or a round of golf. With an addition of 80 situps and 60 push ups daily.
There were days where every atom in my body wanted to give up and take a day off but I persevered.
I remember one day super clearly. It was towards the end of December and I had been sick with a slight fever and was playing poker since 10am till 2am. Thats 16 hours of continous grind. I was also down about $30,000 but the fish logged off so I was done. Really wanted to eat something warm then shower and sleep but I hadn't done my run yet! Oh shitt..... No pain no gain I thought. So I put my shoes on, did the laces up and went down stairs. Then I finally realised what all the noises were, there was a monster storm, thunder and lightining everywhere. I still went for it, I told myself this is how people succeeded and there was no way I would accept failure. That day I ran 10km, the rain completely soaked my clothes and shoes. With rain and sweat dripping down my face I couldn't even see where I was going, but I ran and ran and when I was finally done I felt like a champion..
Today, on my birthday the 12 of Jan 2012 I weigh 69.8kg thats 14.9kgs lost in just under 3 months.
