Day 9 - Running backwards

One giant step for man...two giant steps backwards.

Weigh in yesterday = 84.7 kg.
Almost 1kg up on last week! ( Ouch, ouch and double ouch!)

Now, i am consoling myself that last weeks weigh in came after a run, and this weeks came after a heavy meal, so the difference may not be THAT much, but it has been a poor week.

Encouraging things:
I started running, and have the desire to run more.
I have been eating more healthily.
Press ups were completed. ( the last 2 days I did 12 without stopping. really felt good about that!)
I have cut down on fizzy drinks and am drinking Zero-Coca Cola, when i do.

Negative things:
Heavy rain...that has dampened my progress.
Cold that stopped me running for a couple of days.
I have been eating more healthily - emphasis this time on MORE!( not really my fault. My Italian sister-in-law just sent a hunk of Italian cheese and sausage!)
I want to run, but have negative thoughts that I will fail.
I do not drink enough water.

My present view is to start running...not the couch to 5k program but just plain running, slow and as far as I feel comfortable to do.
Probably won't be much, but I need to cut down on food intake.
The Ryder Cup didn't help as I munched through packets of salted peanuts.

Joe's blog is still a MASSIVE encouragement!

Edit:
Just back from a run.
This time I just ran. No walking, and I did a mile in 11 minutes 37 seconds.
This was a slow run, a pace just a bit quicker than a very quick walk, but it still felt good!
Very pleased with myself for making it!
I'm sure I could have run more - and in fact had a real desire to go the "extra mile", but chose to break myself in slowly.
Also trying to cut back on my food intake, but very encouraged today after a poor day yesterday!
