About This Site

Spud On The Run is a chronicle of my journey from couch potato to a fit and healthy person.  It is a place where I chart my weight loss efforts and talk about diet, nutrition and fitness.  I am not a medical doctor, nutritionist or personal trainer. The information provided here are only the things that I have tried and I make no claims that they are suitable for everyone.  Please consult the professionals before getting off the couch and launching into a fitness program, although they will probably tell you that is quite okay to go for a 30 minute walk 5 times a week. :)

About Me

I am thirtysomething geek who is self-confessed couch potato.  I have spent the better part of my life on the couch either watching TV and movies or surfing the internet.  My days playing on the internet when I should have been studying actually paid off and I now work in IT doing customer support for the digital advertising industry.  I therefore spend most of the day sitting on my butt which is why I am now endeavouring to make myself healthier and fitter.   If you want to know more about my life when I am not working out and learning to eat well, head over to my personal blog Rainbow of Chaos.
