Marathon Training

The weight loss hasn't been going great lately but I have done very little so it's not exactly surprising.  I did say a while back though that once my local soccer teams season was over, I was going to have a real go at losing weight.  The season finished on Saturday past and the diet has started today.

My wife has decided to join me in it which is great as it gives me someone to share the journey with and if she's eating healthy then I have no choice but to join her.

If you have been reading my previous posts you will see that I have been struggling for an incentive.  Well, I have found the perfect one.  I have entered next years London marathon.  I may not get picked but I won't know that until October so I have put myself in a situation were I need to be in much better shape in October because knowing my luck, I'll be the first name drawn out. 

I weighed myself this morning and I currently weigh 284 pounds.  That's a long way off marathon weight and the hard work starts now.
