Question Have you become sportier or more lazy?

One of the reasons I came to Australia was the opportunity to do more sport...Unfortunately since I have arrived I seem to have taken up the sport of eating and drinking and just kind of wondered if anyone else was in the same position....

I keep planning to do more sport but the food is soooooooo good I never get past the restaurants!

So have your waistline's expanded?

Been here three months. Taken to surfing and that's pretty energetic. However, I weighed in for the first time a month ago and found that I'd put on about 5-6 pounds.

Figured I needed to do something about it so have cut out the drink and started up Tennis again at the University of Queensland.

Now back to where I was when we left.

I came over thinking it would be easier to loose weight - don't know why when eating out is soooo cheap!!

When I told my boss I was planning to emigrate, his response was "Oh, how exciting. But you know you'll become round very quickly because eating out is so cheap"

Rob,
how's the surfing going? We move to Bris-Vegas in 5 weeks and my NYE resolution was learning to surf. Even started hitting the gym in London to bulk up (and not get sand kicked into my face!). Any tips or experiences to pass on or surf schools you'd recommend?
Cheers
OLi.
