The diet was supposed to begin yesterday, but it didn’t. I enjoyed an Annapurna of a cooked breakfast at a Manchester hotel, followed by a large sandwich — sorry, “buttie” — and a pint of lemonade at lunchtime, then, in the evening, a large BurgerKing ‘meal’ on the motorway with a bag of lemon bon-bons for the rest of the journey home… Not a great performance.
This morning I was 207.8 pounds which is actually heavier than when i started the training programme five weeks ago. I need to get down towards 182 pounds (13 stone) by the beginning of the taper, around mid-September. It means losing an average of a third of a pound a day between now and then, but it will be worth it. Let’s go.
3.67 miles this evening. A bit slow, but then so would you be if you were as fat as me at the moment.
