Day 2

Tuesdays are always worst for any efforts at healthy eating. Normally have a 130mile drive up to Scunthorpe and an overnighter in a hotel.

Today no hotel, but a day out a major customer meant 150 miles of driving and a pub lunch with colleagues between meetings.

I figured I'd swap my main dinner for lunch and then keep an eye on the calories that way.

Home not too late and another wrap up against the -1 temps and out the door for a short walk around the village to make up any deficit. Put on an extra pair of shorts tonight under the leggings as thighs got rather chilly and had a nice red glow when I got home yesterday! Still slightly chilly but much better.

I'm wondering about the usefulness of activity targets. The moderate levels seem rather low and I keep meeting those by around 10am each day. So might need to tweak those.

I'm a bit peeved that when I reset my programmes at the weekend I somehow managed to reset my weight loss - so kifit shows 0kg, when it was at 1.1... Grrrr... but guess that will give me a figure for the 100 days - the joy of the subconscious!

Below is a screen dump from yesterday:



Deficit from yesterday is a bit high, combined with todays food, might explain why I'm so hungry this evening. Will see what tomorrow brings!

Day 1

Well the blog seems to be working...

It's kept me focussed on the job in hand.. eating well and burning well...

Yesterday was a complete wipe out as far as healthy eating... Was feeling rough, swollen glands and a chesty cough, and comfort foods and chocolate was the order of the day...

Thankfully a decent sleep and the extra vitamins seem to be kicking in. Felt a bit rough this morning but much better by lunchtime.

Escaped work a bit early and home before 6pm. Temperature had dropped below freezing but was determined to get the 10000 steps in... so pulled out my thermal running gear. Wasn't convinced it would fit as it hasn't been out since Winter 2010, when I was fit and running half marathons... managed to squeeze into a couple of tops that used to be very baggy and thankfully the leggings are VERY stretchy!

Had 4000 to do, and a circuit of the village meant I was back with a total of 10500! Happy days!

99 to go!

Day (minus) 1

Well, I've had a Ki Fit armband for a few months now and have played with the system and attempted to use properly.

For reference - I'm not associated with Ki Fit in any way, just stumbled across the gadget, read about it and then bought a unused one from eBay. Signed up for a subscription and played.

Inspired to use it more I signed up to one of their diet programmes in the New Year - which has been extremely useful, but I still haven't been fully committed - mostly due to work getting in the way (being in hotels isn't the best thing for healthy eating!).

I also find the fact that you can't log any comments onto the online tracker a bit of a pain. I need somewhere to log why I ate over my calories, how I managed to burn so many calories on one day and so few on another...

...so the blog is the answer.

After finding MsKays blog - 100 days seemed a sensible challenge.... so hence the (100 days at least blog title!)

Being away and not being able to connect the armband was also a problem so I got a display that I can take with me and that has definitely helped over the last week.

SO... let's get the nasty stats up on the board shall we...

Weight: 79.1 Kg
Loss to date: 1.1 Kg
Target Weight:

This week:
Target Calories per Day - Consume: 1550
Target Calories per Day - Burn: 2650
Target Steps per Day: 10000

I've reviewed the settings above increased the steps etc.

Just need to ensure I accurately log EVERYTHING as haven't been convinced I have been!

So here's to the next 100 days!
