Sport A Bit Different

How I Change My Hobby "Sport"

I believe many of us experience changes in life and with that also certain focuses. We have new responsibilities and maybe a new job. Health is not that great anymore or you even suffer from an injury. Furthermore you become dull and tired. You can't be bothered anymore looking after your diet and you probably join your mates with a pint or two in a pub more often. After a while you noticed that you gained more weight and you are not that versatile anymore. All sounds familiar?

Believe it or not, but as a teenager I have been quite sporty. I had no doubt in going out for a run, no issues with stamina or even any thought about being overweight. Playing football in a team, cycling into the forest for a MTB ride, ... all that was quite normal. Even joining the marathon athlets at their training was on my list and I made it to a half marathon in 2006.

 

Well, that's the past. Looking into the present I actually started missing that feeling of being fit and healthy. Not worrying so much about fitness, stamina, muscles ache etc. and also eating healthy food. In my last Blogpost I mentioned already that I had always my New Year's Resolutions and it probably never worked out. 2 month after New Year I have been in my old habbits again. But for this time I promised myself to start getting fit, doing more sport and look after myself again. 

So I went back on my bike to climb up the hills here in Fife (Scotland). To get toned and also back to my fitness (in combination with a bit of a diet). And it felt great, I felt fresh and my mind got a new kick. I experienced even more the nature around here and also a couple of new areas. After a while I got even offered to give the road cycling a try. So I tried that as well.

I borrowed a bike and joined a group of experienced road cyclists. We went for a 40.5km (25.17miles) trip through the Kingdom of Fife and I learned a new pace. A complete new world for me since I never sat on a road bike before. Fantastic...I noticed that I even totally changed my hobby "sport".

However...this gave me another push and I also confirmation in my decision to undergo this transformation. Combined with a detoxication cure I can already feel that I am experiencing being a bit more uplifted and satisfied with myself. You start thinking much more often positive and I believe I shed already some pounds ;) Life started being good to me again and after all I can just recommend doing it since you feel so much better. If you reach that point you will also start looking up for opportunities regards changing the diet, eating more healthy and last but not least eating purposely. So did I...wait for what will come up.

Stay tuned for the next blog. Until then ...

Start Of MyBlog

The first personal blog post to share about experiences in my life, future plans and what happens around

Here we go, never thought I would ever do that. But it´s with like so many other things you aim for when it comes to the well known New Year´s Resolutions. We all know that... you have fantastic plans to live more healthy, to do better for yourself and change certain things. But after all you end up not doing it and this becomes a habit. However, this time I really want to make them become true.

But it´s not just all about the New Years Resolutions. I also want to share my experience with my hobby .... Single Malt Whisky. Since I live in heaven (...at least for Whisky Connoisseurs) I often have the chance to pop by another distillery, get to know quite a lot people from the industry or just drive mad about it and decide to buy a cask. But with all that I want to share my experiences and opinions, tasting notes, process etc. I am also in the process of setting up a Whisky Club called Wee Dram Fife which you can currently take part in first discussions on Facebook . If you are one of the lucky ones who is not addicted to this social media platform then just wait for the official website coming up very soon. We want to do tastings, sample swap, sales, distillery tours, holidays, gatherings etc. Here fore you might be well informed if you subscribe for this blog via RSS on the right side of this blog post

Furthermore I will take the opportunity to share about my experiences with my transformation regards food, sport and family arrangements. And with that I don´t mean "sharing my private life in detail" ... no of course not. But I aim to report (share) certain experiences I am going through so you will be able to get a bit of help if you try to find solutions for the same issue. Why not helping each other? I believe the world and it´s society is in a bad enough status.

You will think now "Right, and why he have to write a blog about that? His life is none of my business and I don´t really care!" ... and you might be right. But what if I can convince you that you might be interested in my future blog posts? I believe that some things can change your life like they will do change my one.

Stay tuned and see what will come up! Until then ...
