Getting lighter - 83.3kg

-
Here is my weight chart for the past 2.5 weeks. I have achieved the initial goal I set to get to 84kg:



Next and final weight goal is 82.2kg which will take me to 23.5 BMI. I may not go this far though as now the changes to my appearance are starting to show on my face.

Resting before race tomorrow - 82.5kg

-
I'm racing the Langley 7 race tomorrow: http://www.mh.k313.com/mh/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=364&Itemid=71 So yesterday and today I'm resting before the race. I've been suffering from quite sore legs at the back of my thighs (hamstring muscles I think), so I wanted my legs to be fit again. I think it was due to the extra hill runs I did earlier in the week. Last night I restarted on some strength training, just the 100 push ups program again, coupled with some crunches. I'll try to get my free weights from my mum and dad some time, and look into the Xbox exercise program which has been gathering dust. My weight over the last couple of days has crept up from 82.2. to 82.5. No big deal really, but it is because I"m eating the odd chocolate bar and had a couple of beers.

Hill training - 81.4kg

It is getting to the end of the month and I've started to think about the objectives I set myself. The two uppermost in my mind are running and strength training. For running I'm going to have to put some serious hill work in over the next week, I have to do 1,058 metres of ascent. Here is my run last night which included 4 ascents to trig point on Kerridge Ridge. With this in mind I know I can get to 5000 metres: I've let my strength training slip. I can't quite remember what goal I set, but I think I'm a way off achieving it. I'll have to review and come back.

BBC article on dieting

-
I found this BBC article a bit depressing, not really much of a mention of exercise as a primary mechanism for weight loss. However, this article , was a more useful read and highlighted that protein can help you feel fuller for longer. One of the issues I have is that I feel hungry, so if I take on more protein it might help. Will remember this and try it out. Finally, this article advises that people who want to lose weight should weigh themselves every day in order to enable you to make small adjustments as necessary. This fits with my philosphy that the more regularly you are sampling the closer you are to being able to pinpoint why changes are occurring.
