Good and bad!

by happy28 ^Pro @ 19/09/2008 – 21:28:06

Well, this morning was my weigh in day, I'm sure you're all bored of hearing about it? Tough!

So, I weighed in. And then I went for my run. I ran 4.1kms in just 23 minutes! Yes, and my recovery time is a lot quicker than ever before. I only hope all this exercise does not go to waste.

So, I got home and handed my slip of paper to hubby (too scared to read it alone). Four weeks ago I weighed 11st 12lbs. Two weeks exercise free, and then two weeks of 3x 3km+ runs and ...

drum roll...

...

...

...

disappointment and joy. I still weigh 11st 12lbs. I am exactly the same weight. I'm glad I haven't got heavier, definitely glad, but also sad, as I really hoped to have lost another pound or two.

Gutted. Still, it reassures me in a way, that I can take a break and not get heavier is good to know. Also knowing that I'm steadily getting fitter is also good. But the weight thing kinda bugged me all day.

Gutted!

Don't forget, muscles weigh more than fat. And that's a great distance for that time. Well done you!

  do ya think (re the distance/time thing?) I don't have a lot to compare it with.
  
  thanks for the muscle/fat reminder. Just a bit worried that i might be at a plateau'y thing, but if i can run 4k 3x a wk that'd be cool.
  
  glad you're back, even if you're gonna be off adventuring real soon. I wonder if you can get WIFI up in the mountains of Peru?

    Well, a friend of mine is what I consider to be fit, runs every morning before work (nutter) - and she does 5k in half an hour.
    
    So, yay you!
    
    And I wouldn't be surprised to find a McDonalds in the mountains of Peru (although hugely disappointed )

      A word of advice, if you see a McDonalds DO NOT ENTER. I here they eat guinea pigs up there, you wouldn't want a guinea pig burger now...
      
      5k in half an hour hmmm, there's a challenge to work towards if ever I heard one. Hopefully in the next two months I might get there. I wouldn't wanna do it more than 4 times a week mind.
      
      Still got to work on the podgy middle... that's not pretty

    Good luck.. I know how difficult it can be.. motivation! The time i lose that bl**dy thing. As for excuses! Its cold.. I will do it tomorrow.. What! in THAT weather?.. But the Gym is sooo boring.. Somebody might see me that knows me! Excuses, I have a bookful!
    
    Regarding the weight. Exercise can increase it but takes away the fat and 'shapes' you.. Check your measurements.. that is a good way.. hey, here is me telling you all this when you probably know all about it.

      motivation hasn't been a problem so far. if you flick back to may in this or my other blog you'll see how I splashed out a fortune (to me) to kick start my healthier lifestyle.
      
      The fat off/muscle on thing, and measurements are good to keep hearing from everybody, but ... and hears the biggy...
      
      WHY Oh WHY am I losing my bust quicker than my belly? My bum quicker than my thighs? Why can't I pick and choose what goes and what I can keep?
