New Year Plans

Following a big blowout yesterday I weighed in at 98 kilos this morning.  Maybe that will go higher before it goes lower as I have belated festive family gatherings tomorrow and the day after as well as loads of good stuff at home which didn't get eaten yesterday. 

Now compared to the 82 kilos which I weighed about two years ago it is rather depressing to think how much weight I have put on.  On the other hand I have to consider that for the vast majority of my adult life my weight fluctuated from 101 to 120 kilos.  Well I'm close to that range again now but I know that I can lose that weight. 

So I will have a run either tomorrow or the day after and then again in another two days.  On New Years Day I will download an application form for the Woodbridge 10k.  Having just looked at some options If I don't get into the Woodbridge race I'm thinking that I might do the Sudbury 5 as well.

Starting from the New Year I'm planning on running 3 times a week.  Not sure yet when those runs will be but I'll sort something out.  On the days I don't run I would like to do some other form of training too.

I will also be seeing a counsellor during January and February to try to sort out some other issues.

Maybe life does begin at 40!

Posting Again

It's been a long time since I posted.  There have been various reasons for this, both to do with work and personal issues.  I'm going to try again.  I want to keep track of some of the things I want to change in my life.  These include my weight and my running which are clearly connected.  Also my self confidence, my work and my family relationships.  Some of these posts may end up being kept in the parlour.  We shall see.
