My attempt at getting fit!


I've put on weight over the summer... Not a huge amount but it is definitely noticeable. After stopping rowing in June I continued eating enough for training then over the summer I ate a lot of convenience food and so the pounds piled on a little.
Now I'm back at University I'm determined to lose some of it again. I weighed about 17 and a half stone when I was 16/17 and I don't want to get that big again. I am now about 15 stone and my tops are starting to get a little tight. Ideally I would like to get back down to about 13 and a half stone (where I was at the end of my first year at University) and would like to feel comfortable in a ll my clothes.
To this extent I have invested in some good running shoes and started using Nike+, a way to track runs using sensors in your shoes and iPod. Hopefully this'll help me get motivated!

I've started this blog so I have somewhere to track my progress, and if you're visiting this page then thanks for taking an interest. I'll update reasonably regularly and use it as motivation as I try to run more, eat healthier and try and get fit!
