Another in a long line of bad ideas - I have just signed up to the Mens Health Weight Loss Awards (click here).

If I can get a place, this would be a great way to motivate myself to lose weight, get fit and get the training and support I need to overcome the initial few months of training. Motivation is one of the areas where I struggle the most, especially over a long period.

Even if I don’t get accepted, I am going to explore the possibilities inherent in opportunities like this and see if I can leverage some ideas into my own m0tivation.
