Start of things to come

This morning my wife and two kids left me and my dog Mako (that's him on the left) to go camping for a week on Brownsea Island and seeing as I had the pleasure of a 5am wake up call as they banged around the house I decided to take the dog out for a long walk as it was such a nice morning. Now I've been doing various bits to try and stay in some form of shape but food, drink and work usually get in the way. A few weeks back I had a wake up call when my suit trousers were becoming very uncomfortable to wear and having to get a size 36" waist size and weighing in at 86.3Kg I decided it was time to lose a few Kg's.

As you can see on the right, that was my starting point according to the NHS but after weighing in this morning, I've shed 1.3Kg over the last 4 weeks but after this morning's 5 mile walk I've burnt 500 calories hit my Move and Exercise target on the Apple Watch and it's only 7am. Results of the last 4 weeks below, I've got some scales that track Muscle and Fat percentages so I can see where the weight comes from, hopefully fat not muscle. Either way, I'm not Obese already, just very overweight!

So what if I do this walk every morning.. more calories burned, weight shifts faster? Let's find out!
