Each year I’ve posted a video that Chadd has put together for me of me doing the routine in the parade. Chadd has been nice enough to do it again for me but I have to say, I’m not happy. This year I was even worse with my diet than I was last year. I had such good intentions of eating right and doing cardio and all sorts of good things in the lead up. None of it happened. Yes I’m being very vain. Yes I’m being hard on myself but I’m getting cranky with myself for my total lack of discipline. It comes from never having to worry about what I eat because I’d never put on weight. Now, as I’m in my mid 30′s, I’m not as lucky. Sure, I’m not fighting the flab but my habits need to be sorted out and soon or as I get older I’m going to get fat.
Anyway, here’s the video of me in this year’s parade. Last year someone posted a comment telling me that I was being very self absorbed not showing the rest of the float and how could I have only thought to film myself. Chadd handed me the video camera on a long extension rod at rehearsal one night and asked to see just how I would film myself doing the routine. It’s not at all possible, but it was funny.
Plenty of other sources for general MGP atmosphere and colour, Brenton. This is your Blog. Who else do we come to see here? Self-absorbed? Nah.
But do stop apologising! You look pretty fit to me [;)] I wouldn’t mind swimming between your flags [:p]
Cheers, Polomint
I would have loved to have a body like that in my mid 30′s, alas it wasn’t so. You look amazing, I don’t see an ounce of fat but a well trained body. So stop complaining!
can’t see a lot of excess fat! looked like it was fun but I thought also looked well choreographed. have to agree with polomint…your blog….etc. cheers
loved it :)
First and foremost…you are having FUN!! Concentrate on that…because in 20-30 years, you WILL look back and either recall the good times you had, or REGRET those you did not! I see photos of myself from 1978, and think, ‘Hey, I was cute! I’d do me!’ But, then, I was self-conscious and did not put myself out there as much as I could (should!) have!
YOU….Really put yourself out there! Front and Center, Brenton! Just keep doing what you are doing…live, live, live! (Sorry…channeling Auntie Mame, for a moment!)
Keep having that Wonderful Life! No one Ever looks back and thinks, ‘Damn…I had Too Much Fun!’

I thought you looked more relaxed and as a result more attractive this year! Great video.
How can you love someone else if you don’t even love yourself Brenton? You have way too high standards on your body. You look great, belive me, really great. But please drop the fact that you don’t like yourself. There’s so much more to life than bodies.
You look pretty lean to me. I would be thrilled to still have your shape.
