Day 8: first week down successfully

So today is day 8. I weighed myself today... 132.6 kg or 291.7lbs I lost just under  a kilo and half  or 2.8 lbs.

However, crucially, my muscle mass has gone up from 34.2% to 34.4%  while my fat ratio has gone down from 31.4% to 31.2%. Small numbers, maybe... but given that I'm not starving myself. I am sticking to Weight Watchers, which is not designed to get you to drop  drastic numbers in a short space of time, I think I'm doing ok.

Importantly I've stuck to my exercise goals, having exercised at least 4 times last week, 5 if you count Wednesday as a double whammy of Pilates and swimming.

What about the goals I set?

"So what's the plan...
1. Start up with weightwatchers: check!
2. Run at least 20-25km a week... tomorrow I start with my first 5.
3. Go back to swimming weekly
4. Do at least 2 sessions of weight training a week ( Tuesdays and Thursdays)
5. Update this blog"
1. Check.
2. not so well here.. I did 9km so under half of what I wanted to achieve but in my defence my ankle was playing up. Tonight, I ran 4km so am slowly working back up to 5km runs.
3. Check
4. Hmm I skipped Thursday but I did Tuesday so half a check.
5. Check- not quite everyday, I do have a life, but frequently enough!
