I can now reveal that my celebrity status has just begun (look out Denzel, this is just the start), I have been chosen as an entrant for the Men's Health Magazine "Men's Health Readers vs. Writers Challenge".
So what's the challenge.....I have been chosen to compete against a writer at Men's Health (of similar stature and fitness) to see after a 6 week period who has shown the most improvement (by which I think they mean who physically looks the better). Apparently I beat loads of applicants so that's a good start to making me feel good about myself......although you have to bear in mind I did beat a load of slightly out of shape candidates as that was the criteria (what that makes me I'll try not to think about).
I have to go to their offices in London next week to have my "before" picture taken (not a pretty site but it could have been a lot worse if they took a picture at the beginning of the year). I will then be given a nutrition and fitness program to follow (I'm hoping to substitute the visits to the gym for visits to the vibro health studio). At the end of the six weeks I will be invited back to the Men's Health office for an interview and also the "after" photo, this will be on 23rd April. Following this I then stand the chance of my story being published and thus my claim to fame and celebrity status (no autographs yet, I'll wait until I complete the challenge).
So there you have it, I've got more to add to this blog which I hope you will find a good read. If you want to take a look at the Men's Health website, click on the link I have created in my website links section, I believe there will be a story to kick off the challenge in the next couple of days.

Hey Bro/sexy denzel/gazelle/donkey
Bloody Hell!
I don't know what to say. I just hope you remember me when you're rich and famous!!£££!

What's the betting that Men's Health circulation falls at a faster rate than your weight!?!?
Seriously though......I bet it will. No really seriously that's pretty awesome and will make all those team meeting "tell the group something interesting about yourself" intro lines dead easy from now on.
Just wondering where you are going to draw the line for the photo shoot? If I see you down the chemist buying new razor blades and baby oil I guess I'll have a pretty good idea!
Also, as I'm back running after my lay off (now can manage an hour or so with no real after effects) I'll join you for the Flitwick run if you've got the details and I can get in? What an inspiration the "only runner".

I've just been down to Forbuoys to purchase a copy of Men's Health. But, alas, the shelf was bare. I asked the person behind the counter what had happened......he said that there had been a rush on them on Friday...I asked what sort of people had bought copies. "Women of a certain age" I was told... "UUMM..." I replied, as he looked at me knowingly
