What is the strapline, and how am I going to start this? Well…I am going to do an Ironman. It won’t be easy and I am going to use this BLOG to document my journey. Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you have any comments I would love to hear them.
A couple of things to point out, let’s get them on the table before I begin. 1) I am overweight, by a lot. I was over 300lbs at NYE 2019. 2) I have a mental health condition 3) I also have a physical disability, I had a new hip at 35 due to Perthes Disease that I had as a child 4) I cannot swim very well. But let’s not have that stop me! Here is my journey;
I thought I should give some structure to proceedings, so here is how I propose to set this BLOG out. To begin with I will talk about my past, not to dwell on things – but to set the scene. Following that I will talk about a major event in my life and ultimately how I come to be here now planning to do a seemingly impossible ironman. The 3rd chapter will be about my weight loss journey and you can share this with me. Finally, when I achieved my weight loss and got to 182lbs I plan to share my Ironman training progress and thoughts.
There will be things that may surprise people in this BLOG, least of all my parents and wife, who have always given me support and strength
Bipolar Ironman 
Well done on keeping your commitment going! I also once had a crazy dream of doing an IM after reading a book about doing one – and am pleased to say I saw it through. I even proposed to my now wife on the finish line. Such a buzz. My bipolar actually started not long after it though. I am certain the two events are unrelated! Good luck!
