One of the problems with getting older is that your body
does not function as well as it should and to maintain a level of fitness and
health is hard work. I have always kept
myself fit as an International Competitor that was to be expected; when I was
younger I competed in the Super Heavy Weight Class so weight was not an issue.
Retirement was forced on me in 2001 after I won the World Masters Judo
Championships my knee had got so bad I had a struggle walking I still trained
but not to the level I was used to and my weight ballooned to 160 kilo/ 25
stone 3 lbs. to top it all I found out I
had type 2 diabetes. About 4 years ago I had a knee replacement followed by a
hip replacement and I still not regret doing Judo and Sombo. This was a turning
point for me as I began to walk better plus felt better in myself and to some
degree the diabetes helped me, as I had to monitor what I eat and drunk. For
the past year I have kept a record of every thing I have eaten and drunk
including alcohol and the odd cake etc. The best I managed last year was 143.2
kilo/ 22 stone 7lbs Blood Pressure 127/59 pulse 59 great but yes there is
always a but? Christmas came along and for 2 weeks I was not as strict with
myself No I did not go mad but several Cakes, bottles of wine, assortment of
cheese took their toll. I climbed to 149.8 kilo/ 23 stone 7lbs Blood pressure
148/78 Pulse 78.
The point I am making, as you get older slipping of the
wagon is easy but the way back is even harder and longer I am now down to 147.8
kilo 23 stone 4lbs Blood Pressure 135/75 pulse 63 but it has taken me a month
to lose just 2 kilo.
Some say Martin “get old gracefully enjoy yourself “ well I
will worry about that when I am 90, my father died at 63 he was heavy smoker
and drinker. I am now 63 and that’s not going to happen to me
