Getting Fit

Day 118 on the Dukan Diet

Well, today I reached my target weight in pounds but still have 300 grams to go until I am 60.9. However, I think I will put some weight back on tomorrow as was dehydrated after yesterday.

Yesterday I took part in the Music Marathon which is a charity event organised by the chap who has the franchise for Iron Man here in Lanzarote. It is a race for EVERYONE and a good place for me to start to see how I feel about running.

Needless to say I loved it!! The only pressure on me I put there myself as I was only doing the 1/8th of a marathon, just over 5k, where many people opted to walk so there was no chance of me being last by an hour or two!

As it happens I think I did quite well for me as I have only been training for a month. I did the distance in 35 mins which is better than my training time. And now I have the confidence to train for the 10k Arrecife marathon which is in November.

The event on the day was very good. There were kids running from my school and house who placed so I was very pleased about that. The organisation was fantastic. The fact the temperature sored into what must have been touching the 40's causing strong runners to collapse is not Kenneths fault!

And thank god for the fire men who hosed runners as they ran by to cool us all down.

So, I weigh today 61.2kg which is 9stone and 8lbs but as I say I fully expect to go up a bit.

Day 117 on the Dukan Diet

Only 1lb to go!!! As of today I weigh 61.6 or 9 stone and 9lbs.

Day 96 on the Dukan Diet

63.8kg and I cannot believe the weight is still comming off!! And I had a glass of wine last night, oops!

Went for my first run in a year on Thursday too which was great, managed 4K straight off. So now have two organised runs planned, on in october and one in November.

Let you into a secret though, my legs are very sore still after a couple of says!

Weight: 10 stone and only 6 more pounds to loose, Yay!!!

Day 92 on the Dukan Diet

92 days on diet and 40lbs lost. As one guy I work with said, I am a different woman! Certainly ALOT slimmer. Only 8lbs more too loose....

Day 89 on the Dukan Diet

Have had quite a busy month. Back to school, which is never nice. And training for the Graciosa swim which is a sea swim of 2800m. Did it in 1hr and 15 mins doing breast stroke which was a good time for me. Have another swim tomorrow of 1600m in Arrecife.

Weight loss is still good though activity has been reduced due to being back at school. Have started swimming in a pool, Las Marinas, where Alice goes to a swimming club. Also keeping up the walking and hope to start running next week.

Other things that have been up to? Alice has had several dance shows. Went to a fantastic boxing tournament in Arrieta which had two of Dav's fighters who won, and the Spanish champion who is a local boy. Last night went to see several bands play in PDC so was a late night. Good though, apart from being sober when everyone else was pissed!!!

Todays weight: 65.3 10st 3lbs Only 9lbs to loose 24.5 on BMI calculator, started at 30! From Obiese to healthy in 3 months, Yipee!!!
