Paying the bills

Okay,
the ongoing saga of my weight has reached epic proportions.
I am now literally heavier than I have ever been in my life!
This is the product of decreasing exercise primarily, along with probably too little effort in the diet department.
As some will be aware this is not the first time I've "billowed", kids soak up all my time and energy and exercise goes out the window. I've been running, okay not lately, but I WAS running shall we say. The last few months I have been trying to get back into shape, but the past say month, it's all gone pear-shaped. (much like myself)
I also feel like a fat B'stard, if you know what I mean. Lack of energy, not getting things done, etc etc.
So...
A pre-emptive new years resolution, to lose weight.
But how...
I'm working on it, but I am going to try this site called traineo, web 2.0-tastic. I've been using Joes Goals and this has the same concept but specific to weight.
Anyway...
Heres a button that takes you to the site and also shares some "info" about my blubber status!
Aparently you can sign up as a "motivator", which I think means you get updates on how I am doing and easy ways to shout at me (virtually at least).
So, two things, do take a look at the site and tell me what you know, and B) be a motivator!

Hi all,
well, podcast four is recorded and I shall be putting it online over at www.thejudopodcast.eu later this weekend.
This podcast, "in a break from the advertised schedule", is not just me dealing with the emails and news etc etc. This one is another interview/conversation.
This one with Juergen Klinger, who is the coach over at Bath University.
So, keep an eye on the podcast as soon it shall have this new episode online.

It would appear that www.thejudopodcast.eu has been knocked offline by... I don't know.
The hosting company's website is also down, so perhaps there is a DOS attack OR they've gone bust?
Time will tell.

Hi All,
I am going to be recording episode 4 of the podcast this week, as per the "plan" I talked about in episode 2, this one is probably going to be just me.
Mainly news and feedback etc.
So... send me your news comments etc.
Feel free to send me a voicemail by calling me on skype to lwicks or call me on +44 (0)2078719516.
Any really good ones I'll try and put in the audio!
In further podcast news, this week I hope to be interviewing Jurgen Klinger, formerly the Assistant National Coach of Germany he has worked with many world and Olympic medalists. Juergen is a 6th Dan.
Let me know what question you'd like me to ask him.
