Goals for the Month:

* Carry on with Cto5k - I'm just starting week 2, and it's going better than I'd hoped!
* Drink enough water.
* Increase lean muscle mass, and drop my body fat percentage to 22.5%. I don't so much mind what my weight and BMI do.
* Get that waist measurement down to 27.
* Practice kicking at head hight until I can reliably and efficiently break an attackers nose.:D
* See a firmer, flatter, stomach.
* Eat better when I'm with my boyfriend. At the moment, because I'm a vegan, he doesn't know what to feed me, and I really don't want to buy food to keep at his place, carry food over from my place, or ask him to buy food for me (it's a new relationship). So we end up grabbing snacks, and food from the McDonalds next door.
* Try to up my protein consumption.
* Run an entire mile!
- In under eight minutes!

Day 10 Update

10/3/2011

Weight: 127.5 lbs -1.5
Neck: 12.25 +0.25
Waist: 27.2 -0.3
Hips: 35.5 -0.4
BMI/Body Fat Percentage: 20.9/21.21% -0.2/-1.69%

No more photos until the end of the month, I'm not that brave.;p

Goals for the Month:

* Carry on with Cto5k - I'm just starting week 2, and it's going better than I'd hoped!
- I need to redo W3D2, but I surprised myself even by completing W3D1. It's going pretty well.

* Drink enough water.
- Working harder on that recently. Aiming for 8-12 glasses a day.

* Increase lean muscle mass, and drop my body fat percentage to 22.5%. I don't so much mind what my weight and BMI do.
- smashed it!

* Get that waist measurement down to 27.
- 27.2, it's going. I think I'm on track.

* Practice kicking at head hight until I can reliably and efficiently break an attackers nose.:D
- not yet, but I give a mean kick to the groin. And you don't want to get hit with one of my roundhouse kicks.

* See a firmer, flatter, stomach.
- Hard to tell, but my waist is smaller, and my clothes either fit better or fall off me.

* Eat better when I'm with my boyfriend. At the moment, because I'm a vegan, he doesn't know what to feed me, and I really don't want to buy food to keep at his place, carry food over from my place, or ask him to buy food for me (it's a new relationship). So we end up grabbing snacks, and food from the McDonalds next door.
- I'm giving up chips (fries) for lent, which will help. He's started buying vegan margarine, so I can always have toast, and last week, I took all the ingredients over and made us both a vegan fry up (with no frying!). I'm going to get some tins of lentil and vegetable soup, and get him to keep them in the cupboard for me.

* Try to up my protein consumption.
- I'm going to buy some hemp powder today.

* Run an entire mile!
- In under eight minutes!
I'm not so on track for this. I'm not sure of my speed, but I know I can't run a mile yet - three minutes is my maximum. I bet I can manage half a mile before the end of the month, though.

Day 20 Update

20/3/2011

Weight: 126.75 lbs -2.25
Neck: 12 +0
Waist: 26.8 -0.7
Hips: 35.5 -0.4
BMI: 20.8 -0.3
Body Fat Percentage: I've switched calculators, which gives my percentage as 23.2 on the 28/2, 22.1 on the 10/3, and 21.7 today. So a change of -1.5%

No more photos until the end of the month, I'm not that brave.;p
