First Blog

Hi all,

Thought I'd set up my own little blog to keep me motivated in my efforts to lose some body fat and re-gain some fitness I lost quite some years ago now.

I actually started watching my diet 7 weeks ago, and I've so far managed approximately 15kg of weight loss. Just before new year, I set about fine tuning my diet, and have (I think) come up with quite a managable diet to follow. I've also set myself a few short term goals. I'm finding short term goals are easier to stay on track towards than a long term goal. My short term goals are as follows;

1. Get under 110kg
2. Acheive a 9.0 in the beep test
3. Complete 20 push-ups in a row, no rest

All of these are to be completed by Australia day. That is 26/01/2012.

Third day of January, and so far so good on the weight loss. I may have a had a rolling start on this one, as I chose this goal just before xmas. As I weigh 113.9 (this morning's weigh in,) I'm sure reaching this first goal will be easy, and may need to be reassessed before too long to give myself more of a challenge.

I will be weighing myself daily (both body weight, and body fat %) and updating the blog often. I will try to include both my diet and exercise in each blog going forward also.

If anyone has any ideas, or tips, or advice, or even questions, regarding my blog or diet/exercise goals, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Good luck to me
