Let the Challenge Begin!

On February 1, 2012, Mike Higginson began his 30-day weight loss challenge using our "Start Moving Stay Moving" program. By Michael Higginson

Hi, I’m Mike, a 45-year young Operations Director for a private healthcare company here in the UK.

At school, exercise was something I had to do once a week… and I hated it. Soccer was good… but wasn’t good at it. So here I am coming to exercise from the perspective of do I have to?  That attitude explains my 231lbs.  Having just enjoyed an amazing 45th birthday,  it’s time to turn things around and live my life to the fullest.

Scott has often described his checkered past with exercise, I share this, except visually I have had 45 years of black and now I’m entering the white.  Like Scott, I have a history of a keg, but unlike Scott… I have never had a six pack.  That is going to change.

I am beginning the Motivation To Move Start Moving Stay Moving program on the 1st of February.  Why?  Because I have my dream of walking my 2 precious girls down the aisle and holding my grand children. I want to look better, I want to wake up fresh, not tired each morning.  I want another 45 years.

Today, I am done fixing to get ready and I aim to update this blog periodically so I can not only illustrate my progress… but also so I hope people can see that I can turn my sedentary life around whilst still commuting 5 to 6 hours a day and been part of a loving family. Time will be my biggest obstacle, so scheduling is critical. I will report the good and the bad, please read on as I progress.
