Farewell - A much needed lifestyle change is required!

Hi All,

I wish to bid you all farewell for the next few years while I get my fitness in order in RL.

I have diabetis and after my last specialist appointment I have had some fantastic news in that if I treat myself well with diet and regular exercise, I may have the opportunity to come off all medication for diabetis - In effect practically reversing the situation I am in.

I would like to thank Mega MegaVolt Volt and all society members of Kaos for being such brilliantly fantastic people ... Easy going and fun loving :)

Thanks to all of Kaos for trying their hardest to keep me ingame as well, however this is something I must give a shot. Health and RL is number 1 for me ;)

Do not fear, I am sure I will return in a few years once fitness and finances allow.
For now I have several other goals (mainly financial) that I wish to achieve first along with the fitness being the priority!

Take Care All !
Viper/Andy :)

 

Thanks for the kind words all :)

I greatly appreciate the understanding of the issue at hand.

My goal is to lose 32kgs to get back to 87kgs for 187cms.

I am looking at purchasing some gym equipment and trying out a new diet.

Also I will treat myself with the cash out from Entropia and buy a new small 40" 3D TV and 3D Bluray for my bedroom.

Something I can relax too after my gym workouts and hot showers ! ;)

Other than that, there is a new small car on the horizon as my current car is on its last legs.

Once I am able to purchase the new car outright, I shall return to Entropia shortly after.

Thankyou friends for being there, MS9, Lykke & Peter, Nor ya lil alien :)) and razer ! And everyone else.

And grats again Lykke and Peter, hope you both find your way to happiness with the new bundle of joy(s) on the way.

And MS9, good luck and good health to you with what you are going through atm ;) I sure all will be fine.

Ofc I will still drop in to say hi and let you guys know how I am going with my challenge. Never fear it shall be done !

Take Care All,
Andy/Viper :hugs:

 

Aye that is what I am hoping, any medication you can come off is always a positive ;)
If anything it will keep me motivated to keep in shape and eat healthy !

 

Thanks bud,

I will check out that Zenhabits.net too.

Cheers,
Viper/Andy

 

LOL, It is feeling like that already .... I have been sifting through treadmill & upright bike offers and new diets while being sick ! The summer flu I picked up last weekend.

Anyway the PT-400 in the attached catalogue (page 37) is the one I am looking at getting first @ $ 25/week

 

Hi Peter,

For the 25$ deal it is a 3 year lease with the option to re-lease a new platform or purchase the current at the end.
Their minimum lease is 12 months, but it works out at ... checking ... 40$ /week.

I am actually considering purchasing the treadmill outright, I got the quote in today.

For the PT-400 it is 4703 AUD, it is their commercial treadmill designed to be used 24h/7d/5y

The only reason I would buy it outright is for asset purposes & that it would last 5yrs+ guaranteed.

From quote received:

 

I should mention that after speaking with the diabetis dietician today,
In making life simple since funding will not be an issue, we have decided to go with the Lite n Easy 1800 Cal diet plan.

It is amazing the number of breakfast, lunch and dinner options they have.

You can tailor a weekly plan to suit your hearts desires.

I was stoked when i saw the variety of food on offer.

Here is a sample plan - http://www.liteneasy.com.au/nova/sample_menu_1800.html

And get this, 55 dinners to choose from - http://www.liteneasy.com.au/nova/food_dinners.html

Oh man, can't wait to try this out, and budget wise, it works out about the same as what I spend on food per week anyway ~ $ 160 (I have a budget of $ 25 a day for food $ 175 a week)

Heh, here comes the desert ...



*GRINS*

 

Yes the dinners look great !

Some fantastic news, I have a $ 30k personal loan approved.

So all goals will be achieved at once financially,
However returning to EU will still be 12+ months away until I get back down to 87kgs.

Here is the car I am buying ... small picture included ...
Total price $ 19900 complete with insurance, onroad costs, delivery, no more to pay.

Fitness equipment. Total $ 10,000 delivered and installed.

Included: PT400, IS400, IB500, IE500




So yay, I go to sign for it all tomorrow :)

I can say this - It feels fantastic to get ones shit together for a better future !

 

A tune I heard today, it suits my state of being and lifestyle so well, I must share it !
