Run, Walk, Run

Quads were a bit sore from the exercise biking, so today I floundered round a 1.5 mile circuit in about 16.5mins. Run for 2, Walk for 2. Once finished I hit the dumbells for a few curls, and dumbbell presses then finished with a few chair dips and 150 sit-ups.

Weighed myself post run, and clocked in at 237lbs. Probably be fluid loss.

I'm back again at 17st 2lb

4 years since my last post and to put it lightly; I have officially let myself go, since I am now topping the scales at 240pounds. I have decided after a few days of running for 2mins walking for 2mins and wiping out at 1.5miles that the exercise bike was the way to go until I am in better shape.

I am now on a Mon-Friday calorie crackdown. No sugary foods or overeating.

My routine for the past few days has been: 60mis on the exercise bike
12reps, 4 set dumbells
200 situps

I will keep you posted with my weight-loss.

Much Love, An Overweight Runner

PS. My Ass is killing me from being in the saddle.
