So, time for an update to the blog.... it's about time.
First the diet, I discovered that it wasn't very interesting blogging about not eating very much a couple of days a week (and it wasn't very interesting actually doing it either) although it did yield some positive results.
My last (pre-Christmas) weigh-in was on 20th December when my weight was 141.2 pounds, body fat 21.7% and waist 32.5". So that's 12 pounds lost, 4.7% reduction in my body fat and and 2.5" off my waist. Considering I lost motivation and didn't properly fast towards the end of that period I'm happy with the result and am now in the market for some smaller jeans!!
So, what next? I haven't really decided whether I'm going to fast in the new year after two weeks off for Christmas but I have decided that I want to start running again. Looking back at my training log the last time I ran was May 2013. I was sure that I had been out at least once in 2014 but apparently not so after 17 months of being a lapsed runner I really want to get back in the saddle (or at least into the running shoes) and get my fitness back to a level where I can start entering races again with an ultimate goal of running a marathon again one day.
I'm hoping that I can manage to keep this blog more regularly updated, hopefully with progress updates on my running and life in general but we'll have to see!
So for anyone that reads this, hope you had a great 2014 and here's to an even better 2015!
Happy New Year!
