I’m not a runner

Today I enjoyed a new experience. I went for a run.

Not, you understand, that I’m a runner now.

Gym rat

Just a brief update. I feel fitter and stronger, but am still hitting the gym. Last night I went and just did some cardiovascular work. According to the machine readouts, based on my current weight, I managed to burn off 660 calories in an hour long session. That’s not too shoddy.

I shall be slimmer before too long, I can feel it.

Making light of things

It’s been two weeks since I had the news from my doctor that I needed to adjust my cholesterol levels and balance, lose a lot of weight and generally sort myself out.

So, I started to do exactly that.

Three days in…

So, the weight loss program has begun.

I no longer eat food with high levels of refined sugars or saturated fats, I’ve dropped coffee and alcohol completely, and am looking at herbal teas.

Oh, and I joined a gym. I’ve done at least 20 minutes cardiovascular exercise every day since Thursday, and I feel…

Run, fat boy, run.

I’ve never been yelled at to run. I am by nature more sedentary. However, given the appointment with my doctor this morning and the subsequent lifestyle changes which are required, I’ve joined a gym.

Abstinence makes the heart grow stronger.

I’m ill. My cholesterol level is 6.4 (I assume mmol/l) and one of my liver functions came back very wrong.
