I decided to go for a run yesterday to finish Week 1. I had a bit of a false start as I got the "start running" message as I was waiting for a light to change on the pedestrian crossing, but never mind, just start when I get over. Which I did. About 10 paces in I get a stabbing pain in my right thigh. I tried to keep on running but it just gets worse. Looks like I've pulled a muscle....
I walked for about half an hour without it getting any better or worse just to be doing some exercise but I'm pretty annoyed. Stupid body.
It was painful last night and is still painful today so knocking the pain down with ibuprofen and hoping that should help with any inflammation. Looks like I'm going to have to research how to deal with pulled muscles now, though I'm guessing it is going to be rest.
Anyway the point of the post: the weigh in. After a week of increased exercise, no booze, and being pretty careful with what I eat (No snacks basically), did I lose any weight?
The result: 19 stone 4 Lb. So I've apparently list 7 Lb this week. Get in!
That seems wildly too high, for that to be real I would have to be on a calorie deficit of 3500 per day, and there is absolutely no way I have come anywhere close to that. I checked my waist and my initial measurement said 46" which is a 2" loss, but re-measuring it I'm still at 48" or maybe a shade less. I think I'm going to have to get Clare to help me get consistent measurements there.
(edit. Clare measures me as a 47". I will stick with getting her to do it so it spuld be more consistent from now on) Overall pretty pleased though. In the highly unlikely event I can keep it up at that level I will hit my target in another 3 weeks rather than the 9 I'd planned on. I don't think that is very realistic, but it is a hell of a start!
Achievements this week:
Ran a mile
Lost half a stone
:D
Well done on the weight loss - keep it up! Don't be too put off by the aches and pains, they should get more manageable with time. *\o/* Lindsay
