get into shape

Well, being the genius that I am, I went into town, went to the electronics department, took a pair of scales off the shelf and stood on them. It appears I weigh 100kg almost exactly, although this is including my rather heavy work boots. I am also approximately 5 foot 8 inches tall, according to an old estimate I’d forgotten I’d made. This puts my BMI into ‘obsese’... oh well, not for long.

Gonna start the 100 Push-Ups challenge next week…

Okay, a new exercise regime, a new diet. This time I’m limiting my calorie intake and eating healthy, as well as doing about half an hour of exercises every morning. I’m resting the legs because of a bad case of shin splints, but once that settles down I’ll be jogging every day and cycling to work, so hopefully I’ll be burning through the weight like crazy.

How does one work out their own weight without owning a pair of scales? And for that matter, how does one work out how tall they are? This information has eluded me my entire adult life. Seriously.

Gorramn, my legs completely gave up on me yesterday, damn near limped home. That’s crappy. I was hoping to avoid pushing myself but I guess I went for it too much. Either way I’ve been off the leg all today so hopefully it’ll be alright tomorrow morning for another kick-ass run.

Alright, every morning after a lot of time-wasting I get off my mass and go for a run around the entire village. Since I’m totally out of shape I usually only manage about 6 minutes of actual running, but when I get to the rec I do 40 crunches and 20 pushups, and then anything else I’ve got the energy for before running home again.

It’s good fun and it’ll slim me down after a few weeks, but I have no idea if I’ll be able to stick with it.
