Jut walking today, started too late ,hence limited distance.

Weigh-in tomorrow, oo-er…..

Bit of walking, bit of running today, clawing back the deficit….

Week 2 Day 1 of C25K, not too bad!  Plus three walks today.  No weight training, ran out of time!

Completed week one of Couch to 5K, not bad!  Also did 8.1 slow miles on the treadmill - knee doesn’t allow me to walk very fast currently!  Most miles overall though since started…  Finally, I’ve bumped up the yearly target from 2400miles to a round 2500.  EDIT: I’d worked out the total miles wrong, it’s not 39.75, it’s 41.4.  rocking….

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…..

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.
