A Look at Progress So Far

In all honesty, I can't really be bothered to write down every thing I eat. But I will say, I've been very healthy, eating within the 1200 calorie range for a while now. The only problem was the booze, which was adding countless calories. However, starting on Monday, I've ingested 0 empty calories via drink, sticking mostly to water and partially to diet coke. Also, I have not touched a cigarette since Saturday night. This is obviously easier to do if there is also no drinking, so the eating/drinking part is going well enough.

So is the training. So far, I have skipped 4 runs all together. I've noticed that my stamina is better and that I can do many more push ups than at the start of this. I could barely do 70, yesterday, I did 150 comfortably, plus some strange walking push-ups, although I'm not quite certain I did them right. I do need to do more strength training, and include weight lifting as well.

The bit where I'm letting myself down is on not getting up at 6 am to do my runs in the morning. Yesterday I did my required 3 with no problems, but after work. Today's 6 will also have to be done in the evening. I just HAVE to get myself up in the mornings. But even writing about this just produced a huge yawn. Bad Frances.

This morning I weighed in at 140. I am really hoping to see some significant drop soon due to the reduction in calorie intake and the effects of an up week (23 miles).

Also, is someone reading this? I think I see more visits than I've logged on my own. If that's the case, would you mind writing a comment just so I know who you are?

That's all for now!
