Starter for ten - what I'm doing and why

-
Getting a bit fitter I hope, losing some weight. Had the Summer holidays and decided I needed to get back in shape after drinking too much beer and eating too many cream cakes. So last week I started on my programme for getting back into shape. I will keep this log as a personal record of the highs and lows as I progress towards my goal of a BMI of around 23.5. I've created it mostly for myself as an ongoing record while I'm working towards my goal, but also for next year when I realise I've got to do it all again. Here are some of my goals: Run the Macclesfield Half Marathon on 26th September - I've got some serious training to do; Get to 23.5 BMI by losing 1kg per week - some time in mid-November I think. By the time next years Summer holiday comes along where me and Sharon are going away on our own to be able to go onto the beach and not be afraid to take off my top I've got some things I'm planning on achieving which I'll post about another ...

November Goals

-
Here are my goals for the coming month: 1. Get weight stable at about 81kg 2. Run at least 4 times a week, and do at least 20 miles a week 3. Try to ascend 5000m with my running - this will be tough - need to get at least 4000m though 4. Keep a close eye on alcohol - rather than set a limit I thought I'd just monitor and record everything I drink instead, then report back at end of month. Using iphone to take photographic record of everything I drink. 5. Follow the 100 pushups program - by end of month aim to be able to do 45 pressups in one go 6. Report a good time for the big November race: http://www.mh.k313.com/mh/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=771&Itemid=48
