Update!

Been awhile since I updated this blog so I though it was time I did so! Been much with work lately so time has not been around to write.

Since last I wrote I have reach a weight at around 84-85kg depending on what time of day I weigh myself.

I have also invested in a heart rate monitor to more accurately get a sense of calories burnt during my jogs. I decided on the Wahoo Tickr as it does work with Android, I'm not sure it does work with all android devices though so don't take my word for it. With my Nexus 5  however it works flawlessly.

At first I had to use the Wahoo app to track my jogs and then sync with Runkeeper but since the latest update of Runkeeper it can now pair with the Wahoo Tickr directly which is great and saves me a few steps in settings things up.

Running the same route as I have tracked countless times with Runkeeper before my calories burnt with the added data of the HR monitor seem to be a bit higher in general I guess as it has more data to work on to do a more just estimate.

So for the price you really can't go wrong with the Wahoo Tickr, if you are looking for a HR monitor to get more accurate data for your fitness progress. The only con I really can say is that the box does not state it actually work with some Android devices and just looking at it you would believe it only supports Apples line of phones.

I keep working hard on improving my fitness thru running and really love the progress I have achieved so far!

Keep running!

13kg lost thus far!

Lost 13kg thus far and it feels really good! Went to a new sports store that just opened yesterday, needed some new training clothes.

I ended up getting a running jacket, cap and glasses.

Finally under the 90kg!

The feeling when you step on the scale and realize you finally dropped under 90kg is amazing!

I celebrated by getting myself a new t-shirt and hoodie.. in size M! Fits perfectly! I used to wear XXL or XL.

Real confidence booster! :D

The new hoodie, but not the new t-shirt.

Tomorrow.. hopefully!

Hopefully tomorrow I will reach a really big goal for me! Dropping below 90kg! Keeping my fingers crossed the scale is on my side come tomorrow! ;)

Easter 2014

Where I am now and where I started out.

Welcome!

With this blog my goal is to share my weight loss journey with whoever find it interesting to read about.

This was me in London last year in August.

At the time this picture was taken I didn't own a scale, so I can't really say what my weight was back then, but what I do know is that it didn't get any better, more likely it even increased. 

Christmas 2013

I slept bad and generally didn't feel to good about myself. A friend of mine did start to workout and shiftly lost weight during 2013. I myself resisted as I knew I would not use my gym card if I got one. I had tried once before. 

In Februari of this year I decided it was time to do something, again I contemplated getting a gym membership, I toyed with the idea but finally decided against it. Still I wanted to lose weight. Instead of a gym membership I decided I would take up running and try to eat healthier. 

As the giant geek I am, I asked myself the question what pieces of the tech I own can I use to aid me in this?

My brother has used a program called Runkeeper on his phone for years, so I decided to take a look at this application. It was one of the best decisions I have made.

I also wanted some application to track my calorie intake I eventually settled on a site and app called Fatsecret. 

These two services have really helped me thus far and I can whole heartedly recommend them to anyone that want to lose weight!

It has now been abit over two months since I set out on this journey and this where I am today!

It's not over yet. I have yet to reach my goal, but I'm slowly but surely getting there! The journey continues.
