Hi all, and welcome to Derek's Page.

This is where I am going to be putting up all my personal updates - what I am doing, who I am doing it with, and hopefully why.

On August 1st 2006 I am going to be starting what is likely to be a long hard slog to get back to good health when I start my exercise program at the gym - Fitness First in Highett.

At the same time, I will be starting a diet designed to help strengthen my heart and lose weight - at least 15 kilos, but hopefully 25 kilos.

I will be uploading a photo of myself and a report every week detailing how I am going in this endeavour and how i am feeling as well.

With the support of my wife and daughter and all my friends, i know i can do it.

All the best and happy surfing

Derek
