Week 1 - 1st to 7th January 2013

Well week 1 is over and it went well, really well.

So here is an overview of how I am doing at my aims, stated in this blog post.

1) I lost 4.5lb, which is higher than my 1lb per week target, awesome. My weight is now 18 stone 3lb (255lb).

2) I have not drunk any alcohol, 1 week down, another 11 to go. You can sponsor me and help raise money for Cancer Research UK by going to my just giving page.

3) I have started the C25K programme, I am currently on week 1 (run 1 minute, walk 1.5 minutes, 8 times) and my running speed is 4.5mph. I am going to stick to week 1 until my running speed is 7mph.

4) I didn't swim 3km this week. I only managed to swim twice, covering 1km. I will try harder over the next week.

5) I've tried to go out for a short walk every day, the weather has been cold and miserable so I haven't done any long walks.

6) I kept my food diary all week, which I am impressed with, I usually struggle with this.

7) and I'm updating this blog now, ok I'm a couple days late, but I'm doing it.

I am feeling really positive after this week, and I'm looking forward to having another good week. I went to my usual morning weigh in this Tuesday, last Tuesday I went to the evening one because I was too hungover (it was New Years Day) to make the morning session. Next week I am on a course during the day so it will be the evening weigh in again then. I'm not sure how that will affect my weight loss.
