Sorry I missed last week but I managed over 90kms last week.

This week has not been the best. Parliament sat and as the Leader of the House I am involved with pre Parliament meetings with the Premier so my whole routine was shot.

I did manage 15kms on Sunday but that was it. Also I walked up 18 floors 6 times, did 50 push ups and 100 squats.

As I said at the start this is not about weight for me I am not into ‘loser’ competitions but I am noticing my clothes are not as tight so perhaps I’m doing some good.

Paul Hoolihan has issued a challenge for 5,000 people to join Kickstart. If we want to win the $1 million on offer from the State Government we will need to get at least that number.

We want people who are already doing the right thing to register. We also want people who are cutting down on smoking or making an effort - any effort to exercise on the website. This all started with the Premier throwing out a challenge to Queenslanders to be the healthiest Australians by 2020 and from what I hear around town we are up there with the best of them. We just need everyone to register.
