Now in my twelfth week of the Motley Health Fitness and Weight Loss Plan, and the fourth week of the Atkins Diet. I weighed in this morning at a pleasing 89.1kg, so have lost another kilo (2 pounds) this week.

I have controlled my diet better at work. I have not exercised yet this week, but I have filled in a form for the 2008 Great Baddow Charity Fun Rn (2 miles). I was planning to do the full 10 mile run last year, but training was slack, and I am in no shape to run ten miles.

My wife bought my "Run Fat Boy Run" for my birthday last weekend, and that has motivated me a little more to take up running again. And the weather is nicer, so there is little excuse to not go running.

6 kilos (12 pounds) to go to reach my target weight of 85kg by mid-summer.

Today I run.
