2.7 lbs DOWN this week, 11lbs DOWN this month, total loss 66 lbs. #GoTheDist

Also this month I’ve taken 2” off my chest, 2” off my ass and 2.5” off my waist.  AND my resting heart rate is down TWENTY to 62bpm.

Now, I’m basically at my weight/heart rate/measurement stats that I was at last May 2011. So I’ve just rewound 7 months of neglect in less than a month.  Over 150miles of walking has clearly helped, but I put this down to Paleo eating almost completely, it’s fantastic!!!

One wee thing, I was lighter the previous day - it’s shocking how a salty snack and meal yesterday can hurt a couple of days of dieting!  To think I used to do that at worse each and every day, any wonder I got up to 23 and a half stone. :)

Down 2.6lbs. Not a bad XMAS gift!

For once, ever I haven’t put on the expected 8-10lbs over xmas.

I was just over 277lbs on 10th December, and now, going into the new year, I’m 274.5lbs.  I was HONESTLY expecting the scale to say 284/5, which is why I haven’t weighed myself since the 10th.

Can’t really explain it, my exercise has been shot to pieces, but I suppose the food has been…. OK.  I’ve had a few blowouts, but largely, i’ve been sticking to Paleo - lots of veg and meat, little carbs.

We’l see how that pans out…..

Recap of 2010…

Health-wise, 2010 was great, then got difficult…

Started at 327 lbs, got down to 242 (loss of 85 lbs) halted in September/October, and EXPLODED upwards in December to 258 lbs again.  Ended the year 69 lbs down.  With 160 lbs total target to lose, that left about 90 lbs to go.

But, it’s not all about WEIGHT - even taking my blip into consideration, all my measurements are in a positive direction:

• Chest 54->47”
• Bum 59->49”
• Waist 56->45”
• Resting HR 100->49bpm
• BP 138/97->120/84

I now run, walk, cycle, weight-train, and finding it easier each week.

I’m committing to 1 lb per week weight loss, and am well on target thus far this year, in January I’m down 7.5 lbs already.
