I have neglected the excersise a little recently due to being almost constanly working. The cardio room was empty today so I saw this as a chance to go for it with nobody around to see me fail.

08/01/2014 = Only managed 3.5km :oops:
14/01/2014 = 30m 50s
22/01/2014 = 30m 16s
06/02/2014 = 29m 48s
12/02/2014 = 29m 45s
20/02/2014= 29m 21s
25/02/2014 = 28m 42s
27/02/2014 = 28m 33s
05/03/2014 = 27m 48s
26/03/2014 = 27m 26s
10/04/2014 = 27m 03s
03/05/2014 = 26m 20s
Today = 25m 17s :P

This running is easy 8-) ..........
......if only it was :cry: First 2 km was ok then it is a 15 minute battle to ignore the voice in your head telling you to push the red button in front of you to make it stop.

Targets before the wedding:
5km treadmill - Sub 25 minute (I think I will do this reasonably easy)
20km bike - Sub 31 minutes and as close to 30 as possible (Again I think I can do this but I just have to get myself in the right mood for it some day. Half an hour maintaining that speed is torture for me and I will ache for days! )
2km Row - 7 Minutes (not sure if I am capable of this yet. But ill try get as close as possible)

Results from the scales will be next. Im confident of a good week but just waiting for the thing to racharge)

Day 1.
Weight: 19st 6lb
BMI: 33.16

Day 133
Weight: 16st 10lb
BMI: 28.52

36 days to go
Lost this week = 1 lb
Weight loss to date = 38lb
Target weight = 16st
Remaining to lose = 10lb

Not as much loss as I was expecting but a loss is a loss. I had a massive 3 course meal last night cooked by mrs nffc for my birthday. I ate all the crackling off of a massive pork joint and several helpings of dessert and was munching all night! So I am guessing that if I weighed myself yesterday like I had planned then the loss would have been higher! Food is not normally the problem, its normally alcohol but last night I ate like a pig (and ate half a pig!)

How is the fitting into clothes going? This is probably a better guide as you may be losing fat, but gaining muscle.

Remember Johnny Wilkinson and lil Micky Owen (apart from being the same person) are both obese on the BMI scale :wink:

Clothes fitting is good. No need for me to buy any new clothes for the honeymoon as I have half a wardrobe full of previously unworn shirts that have never fitted before!

I feel in good shape. Everywhere is firm apart from the stomach area but even that has some definition and is a big improvement on before. Id like to lose a couple more inches around the middle but I am more concerned about toning up for the beach than what the scales say!

I am doing about an hour in the weights room when I go and recently discovered that I can now do chin ups and pull ups after never being able to do them. They give an awesome burn sensation afterwards and you can feel why they are one of the best exercises to do.

I am already happy even though I know I won't reach my initial target in time but I will try and get as close to 16 stone as possible :)

Damned, I can not call you lardass any more :(

Awesomely well done especially with all those out of fashion clothes you can wear now :lol:

The clothes, the mirror and toning up for the beach are far more satisfying than the scales, imho.

I have been putting this off for weeks and weeks as it is horrible but I tried thursday to beat the 31 minut barrier.........

20k bike
07/01/2014 = 38m 14s
22/01/2014 = 37m 00s
06/02/2014 = 36m 40s
10/02/2014 = 34m 46s
24/02/2015 = 34m 33s
06/03/2014 = 33 min 34s
19/03/2014 = 33min 01s
01 /04/2014 = 32min 06s
Thursday _ 29/05/2014 = 31min 35s

......and failed :x
I am in no rush to jump back on and try again as I find it one of the worst half hour periods I have ever experienced in my life :lol: But I'll have at least one more go at getting sub 31 minutes before the wedding :oops:

It might be old-fashioned, but sit-ups morning and evening should improve the tummy.
