A good streak
In 2011 I let myself regain about 9 kgs (about 20 pounds) of weight which was probably not a good idea in hindsight! Most of this was gained in the last 5 months of 2011 due to excessive snacking.
Having said that I’ve made a commitment with myself to get back down to the normal BMI again in 2012. To do that I need to lose about 14kgs (about 31 pounds). My main meals are generally very healthy and my exercise regime is sound so to do that all I really have to do is abstain from unhealthy snacks.
I’ve cut out the lattes and mochachinos at work and the evening chips and the results have been as expected. I’ve managed to consistently lose weight. The only blip on my chart for this year has been Chinese New Year where I indulged in the family feast but even then not excessively.
My running over the same period has been very consistent as well:
In fact I’ve averaged more than 10km a day over the last 30 days which is not too shabby.
I’d really like to get my weight down as I would love to smash my marathon PR this year. Last year I failed to even come close to a PR and I believe that was mainly down to carrying excess flab.
Here’s hoping the streak continues!
