I wanted to lose a stone in 2012 and run a 5k - well I did the run in 31 minutes which is probably rubbish but I was pleased to have done it . In terms of weight I have put on 2lbs so a dismal failure!! I am putting it down to gaining muscle but nobody is buying that!
How did you do?
5k in 31 minutes? That's 10k in an hour or 6 miles an hour. Sounds very respectable to me 🙂
Mine was to lose a stone ( lost a couple the year before) - got to 22lbs lost at the last count in 2012(haven't weighed myself over the Xmas period though so may have put a couple of lbs back on).
SM - 5k in 31 mins sounds impressive mate, well done.
Starting back at the gym this week been ill all last week, Hoping to get back into training twice a day was running 5-7km in the morning before work and same again afterwards sometimes with a spin class thrown inwant to get bike fit this year as well as lose weight.
SM,
Good going as for the 10k it;s not that hard a few weeks running at the distance just now and increase it bit by bit trust me it;s a doddle,
I did brilliantly - I made no resolutions at all and I've stuck to them religiously. That either 100% success, or with a division by zero, that's an infinite success rate 🙂
My resolution is to get back to the gym and get fit. I always have this resolution every year but never seem to stick to it. I really want to keep fit long-term as opposed to stopping after the first month. What's a good form of motivation to make me continue going on a regular basis?
Thanks
I put my ideal weight that I wanted to be by the end of 2012 - missed it though!! so not sure why I am posting this!!!
Ignore me - I will go back to my jam doughnut
I need to start going gym again, that was my resolution.
However, its hard to stick to 🙁
Mine is to cut down the drink - wasn't crazy high but also not exactly under 21 units per week, every week. So far, so good, 0, 0, 4 units for last 3 weeks (does this mean I can have 59 tonight?!)
Feel good for it and saving a few quid.
Anyone else battling the demon drink? 🙂
I'm not battling it but stopped some time ago - mainly to help with weight loss - like you I have had 5 cans of beer this year
Worryingly I saw my brother in law recently and he was definitely drinking too much and before midday!!
Hey Mario,
Well last week was 9 units so creeping up but still happy with progress.
How did you stop - any techniques or tips you'd pass along?
Best
