A great week!

This week I've managed to complete my first major target, the goals I set along the way of losing half a stone have obviously been moving me towards an end target weight but the key achievement was to move from being rated "Obese" with a BMI of over 30 down to "Normal" with a BMI of under 25. Today was weigh in day and I've hit 24.9 and 2Kg off my target goal of 69.9Kg (11st). This has been completed in 108 days, through careful calorie consumption against a daily calorie allowance tracked with Livestrong's MyPlate app and increased exercise.

I knew it was looking good as I rescanned myself with Boditrax at the Gym yesterday and was really pleased with the results.

Above is yesterday's scan and below the comparison from a few weeks ago.

I've lost a little muscle mass, but a lot of fat and my Metabolic age is 5 years lower and 8 years below my actual age.

Running is going well, I managed 36.9k last week and have completed 28k this week as well and also attempted to run one of the "official" runs in the area this morning and made the 7.1k run in a time I am very happy with. That's the furthest I have run, and while not my quickest it is quite a tough run with some pretty steep hills.

I'm very tempted to run my first 5k Parkrun tomorrow, but might defer after this morning's run. I'll make a call on it in the morning depending on how stiff I am. It's bonfire night tomorrow and I'm going to a party tonight and as I have now hit my target, I think a beer might be in order!
