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.
