A happy day

Keep Going

Today I am feeling very happy, I weighed myself this morning and have lost a further 3 pounds! So since starting this blog I have lost 6 pounds in total and have seen my fitness levels improve considerably.

It was just the boost I needed as this week I have felt a bit flat and have found it hard to motivate myself into working out. While I still have a long journey to go, today I finally feel that I have gotten somewhere on it and it feels more than worth it. I am hoping by Christmas to be another 5-6 pounds lighter taking me to my first goal of around 9 1/2 stone.

So with this renewed sense of fitness mojo I took myself off for a lunch time jog and did a 3.28 run in 27mins 46 secs. Not the fastest of runs but it was certainly enjoyable as I took in some of the London sites around the embankment and southbank and felt a spring in my step in the autumn sunshine. Fit camp tomorrow and then a rest day on Sunday.  Time to keep going and reach some more goals. Bring it on!

My fab new toy

So this is my new toy which is definitely making me push harder.

It’s a timex ironman triathlon watch which I can use for both swimming and running. Right now I am simply using it for timing my runs. But it has many functions including lap timing for those who really want to drill down their stats and monitor their pace.

It is well worth the £20 I paid for it and can be ordered on Amazon.
