I have increased the amount I am walking a lot recently and mixed in with diet have started to lose considerable weight. I have lost 3kg in the last two weeks, pretty good. I have set myself a challenge of walking 192 miles (the distance of the coast to coast Wainwright walk) in 80 days which works out as 2.5 miles a day but I have been smashing this daily and I have walked over a hundred miles in 14 days. My aim is to be able to do the walk itself by next June / July / August and to actually do it in 14 days. This works out as a bit over 13.5 miles a day which should be doable on an average. Would need to do it with someone who is substantial better than me with a compass though. Would like to do it wild camping most nights as well to keep costs down with the odd night in a hostel / hotel for a wash / proper rest. Would be great to do that. I planned to do it this year but that was unrealistic as I wasn't even losing weight.
I am currently on a weight management programme with the NHS and it is really helping m lose weight. Meetings we're weekly at first but have now gone to fortnightly and will shortly move to monthly. I have been over 20 stone since I turned 20 would be great to smash the other side of that and keep going. I have previously struggled with maintaining weight loss and sticking to a problem but this seems a lot easier to do as its mostly just about making semsibiel choices. I'm 32, I know what I should be eating its just sticking to it. Not using the diet word helps too its not that its a lifestyle choice and my choice is to get fitter and get healthy. Long may it continue.
