00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 5: the reason I have to do it is because you know,

161
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 5: I was nearly tipped the triple figures to one hundred

162
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 5: kilos and I mainly fight for nine. So it's not

163
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,679
Speaker 5: a good look and it's really not good for your health.

164
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: So I decided to really make a stand against these

165
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 5: lockdowns on a personal level. And so I'm not going

166
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 5: to allow myself to, you know, get to that point.

167
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 5: I mean, I also, I mean, I'm a high school

168
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 5: teacher and I have to sort of teach remotely at

169
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 5: the moment, I'm sitting down all day on that team's

170
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 5: app and teaching and preparing and it's tough. So I

171
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 5: mean when you listen to other people's problems, I mean

172
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 5: believing my mine is mind puzzan in comparison compet to

173
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 5: some other people's problems. But I just sort of want

174
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 5: to share that good news.

175
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: That is great news, that's inspirational for people. Mate, Well done,

176
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,119
Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel better?

177
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: Oh look, it's amazing. The really good part about it

178
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 5: is I can actually I've got all my clothes back.

179
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I got all these clothes without having to

180
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 5: have to spend spend a cent on buying new clothes.

181
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 5: So that's a really good part, you know.

182
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: And do you have a target you're going to keep

183
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: going or have you reached?

184
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: You probably probably just have a couple of kilos and

185
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 5: that's about it. I sort of just kept that maintenance,

186
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: sort of like I tend to float between, you know,

187
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 5: float between between a couple of kilos. And then the

188
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 5: good part about is, you know, you give yourself permission

189
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 5: to sort of you know, have the occasion little splurge

190
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 5: and you know not and not you know, deny yourself

191
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 5: totally because otherwise you end up going bonkers over that

192
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 5: sort of thing, you know, But yeah, it's been great,

193
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: like so fantastic. My two boys really appreciate it as well.

00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,760
