Day 83

mmmm …. this morning I did my weigh in and I was up 0.3kgs. Bit disappointed. I had a chicken kiev for dinner yesterday and some roast potatoes, so I assume this must be related to my little weight gain this morning.

I did a good workout on the power plate last night too. The first proper work out for about a week. I enjoyed it.

This morning I went for a walk in the local park. I walked for 39 minutes, and according to my ipod I only did a little over 3kms. I thought I did about 5kms, and most of it was on the grass, so maybe the ipod was wrong?

Day 81 – Update

I went for a jog / walk at lunch time today. I did my normal route, but I decided to run the 1st kilometre, and walk the second. I did the first one in 4 minutes 40 seconds, and walked the second in 11 minutes 37 seconds. I felt great when I got home.

I am heading out for dinner now, and I am going to go to the movies. Have to make sure I don’t eat any bad stuff.

Day 74

Today I am down 0.5kgs. This on top of the fact that I lost 0.3kgs yesterday makes me quite happy. I definitely think the walking is playing a major part. And with my Nike + it is very good for challenging myself.

I am going to go for a lunch time walk again today. I am going to stick with the 2.25km route. My goal is to try to reduce the time but not by too much. My best so far with a walk / occasional jog is 18 minutes. Not great I know, but my goal at the moment is weight loss, and I have been told that I should not be trying to do it as fast as I can, but rather keep my heart rate between 60% and 70% of the maximum. Next week I might try to do it as quick as I can running, just to get a feel for where I am now.

Tomorrow I am off to London, so I will have an early start. 6am flight! Today I am working from home, so healthy eating will definitely not be a problem.
