Getting Fat

Last night I weighed in at 80.4kg (177pounds).

This is the heaviest that I have ever been and I am not happy about it. I am feeling unfit and uncomfortable. I have done practically no exercise since I ran the Marathon last year. First there was recovery, then it was a bit too hot and then there was Christmas. Now it is February and I am paying the price.

Last month I ditched alcohol and now feel better for it, but this has had no effect on my weight. The bottom line is that I need to get exercising again.

Tonight I want top go for a 1 hour run from home to the city. I’ll go 30mins out towards the bridge and then race the clock up the hill to make it back again in 30mins. I also need to consider my diet again. I might switch to vegetarian for a while, just to try and reduce the fat content in my diet.

I’ll use this site to update my (hopefully) increasing fitness levels.

Version 2.01 – Getting ready for a new look

As my tag line suggests I like the idea of web design but my skills are kind of lacking. I am in awe of the things that some people can do with design and I am determined to get amongst it too.

I have labelled this series of discussion with a new running version number. This is the first major change to the Rounders template that was supplied by Blogger after their big redesign. I have been making gradual changes but to really break loose I need to get rid of the rounded corners that give the template its name. This is really the only visible change.

Behind the scenes I have moved the style sheet out of the main document and into it’s own file. This will probably screw up all of the archive pages but I’ll get back to them later.

I the mean time I will be trying a few new things out. If things look crap and you are looking over here when it happens, let me know via the comments, and if you have any suggestions this noobie wants to hear them.
