A vehicle of health (not a picture!)

Rossco's Reflections


What a great week it has been for AndFITT Healthy Lifestyle Coaching..thanks to all my supporters, friends and advisors who have helped me advance my practice. As you are aware I am becoming more and more passionate about the health crisis that each individual is facing or potentially will face in their lives.


Today's highlights including getting back into the pool as I prepare for the Townsville Triathlon Festival, talking on Skype to my peer coach & new friend Lloyd in America, lunching with a good friend to discuss business opportunities & synergies in the park and playing with my new logo...thanks Tony for your creativity and patience!


I am incredibly grateful for me health & want to be support my fellow human beings on their respective journeys...after all having your health is a 'vehicle' which allows you to achieve and experience other great things life has to offer...otherwise try thinking about it when its gone.


Rossco's Rant


Australia is now one of the fattest nations in the world with an estimated 4 million obese and 5 million overweight people. Not bad out of 23 odd million. 


I wonder where the Aussie sporting nation has gone as we line up for the greatest sporting event in the world (the Olympics in case you hadn't heard)....where in the Games Complex 'temporarily'* resides the world's largest fast food restaurant (resplendent with its Golden Arches ) ............seems ironic...........let the (weight) Gains (Games) begin.

Mammoth McDonald's: An exterior view of the world's largest fast food restaurantAt 3,000 sq ft the building, next to the Olympic Stadium, is bigger than the current largest McDonald’s, in Moscow.
The Russian restaurant will regain its title on September 9, however, when the London branch is bulldozed after the Paralympics closing ceremony.
Altogether they will serve 1.75million meals in 29 days, with Britons accounting for an estimated 85 per cent of customers.
The main restaurant will offer some of the best views across the Olympic Park from its first-floor balcony, which can seat 150 customers. The vast two storey restaurant will serve up to 1200 customers per hour and sell $5 million dollars of fast food during the Games.
