My Journey

My journey started 6 years ago, when I weighed 112kg and just walking up a flight of stairs made me puff.
Since then I have made a whirlwind of changes, and after losing 12kgs in the last six months, I am now down to 75kg!

The Catch Fitness 20 Week Challenge will allow me to reach higher, run longer, have experiences that I previously thought were not possible, and achieve some amazing things through my 20 Adventures in 20 Weeks.

In my mission to become healthier over that last 6 years I've dabbled in a few different sports, but never really managed to stick to any plan for too long before I get injured, lose interest or generally fall off the wagon. I have planned my 20 Adventures in 20 Weeks to let me experience some new activities that I wouldn't otherwise try, pick up some ones that I have previously not given a chance, and set some goals that will stretch me to my limits.
