Gotta Start Somewhere!

So here it is day one on the blog! Only writing this so that I can keep track of my goal to get fit again. at 20 I had a 30 inch waist and weighed 10 1/2 Stone, 11 years on I have a 37 inch waist and weigh almost exactly 13 Stone.

I do not have the goal to become 20 again or even get back to being that thin but I do want to lose some weight and at least get fit.

This is not day 1 I started about 1 week ago with some push ups and yesterday I went for a jog, I have choosen to follow couch to 5K program, I think that is a good starting point so yesterday it was out for day 1 of the program, today I ache!

Starting photos is the goal to lose some of the belly and reduce the love handles.

I have borrowed the measurement tracker for the ten minute trainer work outs, which at some point I will start, as I think that the ease of the program will fit around my current life style. I know that the program is aimed more at the ladies but it is at least a good starting point. I have added a few extra measurements to the body tracker, and I aim to update this once a week.

I bought myself a OMRON BF511 scales and body composition monitor, which is where the weight and fat percentages come from in the above. I hope to buy a heart rate monitor soon so that I can take a slighlty more scientific approach to what I am trying to do and help me acheive the results more effectively.
