I wasn’t expecting much from this week, it was my first week and I wasn’t as strict with my diet plan as I’d have liked. I surprised myself though. It has been exactly one week since my first blog post and I have lost 5lb, and my waist size has dropped by 1.5 inches!
I think a lot of this has been down to the exercise regime I have been following. I set it as a goal to go running at least 4 to 5 times a week, which I managed to stick to, and I have already seen improvements in my running ability level, a huge asset in terms of conditioning. I got out to Cleethorpes Country Park on Saturday morning for my first ever ParkRun too. For those that don’t already know about ParkRun, it is a 5K run through a park, you can go at your own pace and it’s completely free to sign up! I managed it in 32 minutes and 25 seconds, which I was pretty happy with since it was the first time I’d ran 5K in forever.
I also started doing some circuit training. This sort of ‘high-impact’ cardio really tires you out fast, but then again, that’s the point! I have been following a lot of MMA circuits that I have found on YouTube, they seem to be excellent for the type of conditioning that I’m looking for. I’ve found that pro wrestling workouts are pretty few and far between on YouTube, so I’ve had to make do with MMA, but if anyone else has better look, please get in touch!
Here are my measurements for this month, as I said earlier, I have managed to drop some weight, but I’m nowhere near where I want, or need, to be:
Height: 5ft 10″
Weight: 14st
BMI: 28 (Overweight)
Waist Measurement: 37.5″
