NSV - I ran a half marathon
Despite losing one of my energy gel packs after less than 2 miles, having to stop to cross the road and going the wrong way following a guy who was running through Queen's Park but not competing (WTF!) I finished the Loughborough Half Marathon in just over 2 hours and 6 minutes including an awesome sprint finish.

NSV - My mum has joined the gym!
Got a text from my mum today saying she's joined the gym! I know she and my dad went for a 10 mile bike ride on Bank Holiday Monday as well. I've not suggested anything to her but it's nice when the people you love take care of themselves.

Awesome t-shirt for a half marathon.

NSV - profile picture
Decided to update my profile picture and used the first one I took, usually end up taking loads. :smile:

Non alcoholic pub drinks
I gave up beer/lager which has helped me lose weight but I replaced it with vodka and diet coke. Looking for something non alcoholic so I can still go out that's not too expensive and will last a while.

NSV - before picture
Last night I showed 2 people my before picture and they didn't get it, didn't realize that it was me!

I saw the girl who never wants to come out last night...
Saw a girl who I went out for drinks with on St. Patrick's Day last night, I've asked her out again at least 4 times since with no luck, she doesn't got out usually. I thought it might be awkward seeing her but she took away the awkwardness by being really drunk and trying to get off with my friends/every guy she spoke to.…

Sore knee, hot, sweaty, tired, just ran my 500 th mile of 2013. :bigsmile:

Started stronglifts but worried about eating more calories
Lost most of my weight running, got up to 9 miles every week day at one point as I was training for the Loughborough Half Marathon on 24th March, unfortunately it snowed and it's been postponed until the 9th of June. I still need to do it as I have been sponsored but I've finally come around to the idea of doing weights,…

Layer of fat on stomach and thighs
Not done as much as usual this week but tonight my stomach and thighs seem to have a massive layer of fat on them, been looking OK the rest of the week. I can pinch an inch on my stomach which has been looking tighter even yesterday. Weighing myself tomorrow as well. Hoping it's just from doing my first hour run since last…

NSV - age
Out with my mate last night and he was like how old are you? Me: guess, him 23/24. :happy: #babyfacedan

I put on 2 lbs / 0.6 kg
This week I've felt really ill and I've only run 15.5 miles (last week I did 32.5) I did some weight lifting and have been eating a lot but mostly healthy (apart from crisps which I went a month without and have started eating again). Also went out drinking on Sunday until 2:30 am. I was dreading weighing myself as my…

Epic fail
Tried a 40 kg dead lift earlier, realized later I'd not counted the bar so it was 60 kg. :laugh:

Dreams
Went to Wilkos to get picture hooks to put my certificates up, saw this and had to buy it.

My face looks fatter when I smile
Anyone else get this, just took a new profile pic but when I smile and do I face on pic my face looks massive. :grumble:

NSV - nearly at one of my goals
In my profile under 'Why I Want To Get In Shape' I have 'To have only 1 chin' noticed today I'm getting close.:smile:

Hit a new low this week...
Same weight as last week but body fat is 22.8%, I know scales aren't that accurate but I when I first used these scales on 29th Feb 2012 the figure was 32.6%! Going to get some callipers and test that way.

Went for a run and got a bit carried away
As it's warmed up slightly I went for a run, got a bit carried away and did 10 miles! http://connect.garmin.com/activity/290856480#.UVdF9DoYzJY.facebook Also walked about 3 miles and did a 7:30 mile on the treadmill this afternoon.

Still look thinner in my head than in photos
Not sure if anyone else gets this, when I look in the mirror I think I look good, although I did when I was big, but when I take a photo it never looks as good as the picture in my head. :grumble:
-
NSV - legs
Saw my legs in the mirror the other day and did a double take, not looking too bad these days.
-
NSV - moobs (pictures)
I had my 5th session of Laser hair removal today and the woman showed me the before picture from 38 weeks ago, big difference and not just the lack of hair. :laugh: Going to get a copy but I have to write a cover letter saying I requested it? :grumble: Lost a lot of weight but still a bit to go, but the moobs are pretty…

I think I'd like to meet someone but not sure
Wondering if anyone is in the same situation as me, I've never really had any confidence with women, never had a long term relationship. I've lost weight become more outgoing and friendly and am feeling really happy at the moment. I'm not sure what I want short term, long term, just really want to be kissed. :blushing: I…

That moment...
...when you look in the mirror and there isn't a sad fat person looking back at you, I have to keep checking to make sure it's real. :smile:

NSV - It's my birthday
So, another year older. I don't know many people who enjoy getting older expect maybe 17 year olds. As my nan once said though it's better than the alternative. A year older but also 68 lbs / 4st 12lbs / 30.8 kilograms lighter than this time last year, made a lot of new friends, the happiest and fittest I've ever been in…

Progress picture
I was going to do some topless pics for my birthday but feeling a bit bloated and not quite there, feeling happy with my progress though.

2013 km (1258 miles) in 2013
I managed to do 115 miles in November and 106 in December. A friend suggested trying to reach 2013 miles in 2013, it's only an average of 5.5 a day but not sure if I can fit it in so going to aim to do it in km. If anyone wants to join me feel free, see below for how to get a ticker: (1) Configure your ticker at ticker…
