Argh. Am I the only one who struggles with the dreaded spare tyre?
There’s lots on this blog about it – but last year I managed (with the help of Kate Morgan) to trim down from a rather portly 106kg back to 87kg. It took maybe 8 months to do but was relatively painless aside from the necessary avoidance of any lunchtime social occasion pertaining to food! I stopped it just before Christmas last year, figuring with good eating and healthy habits I would be able to keep the weight off.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago, I was 94kg and realised that some of my hard work had been done. I really don’t eat that badly (or that much!) but having a fairly sedentary job seems tobe taking its toll. As of this morning, I discovered I’ve bumped back up to.. 96kg. ARGH!
Anyway – the work is being done, I’ve decided to start getting up early a few times a week and going running. Already done so Monday and this morning. It is very painful but I am managing to run maybe 2 or 3 clicks without a break and hopefully it will get easier and I will run longer distances as time goes past. It’s just a matter of staying motivated to do it – leaving a warm bed at 6:30am just to inflict pain on oneself is difficult!
Must keep blog updated with progress… worst case scenario, I go back to Kate Morgan for a few months. Probably not until after Christmas though, that’d be too difficult 🙂
