On the 15th of April I was 201 pounds, the heaviest I have been for a while. I put on a few pounds after being told that I had a hernia so therefore had to quit running and walking to far. So the C25K had to go and had to cut down on the geocaching. I became rather miserable about the weight loss and tucked into a few extra calories to cheer myself up as you do!

Having seen the consultant and discovered that there's no hernia only a small abdominal tear of 1.2 cm I can resume normal activities but will need exploratory surgery in the near future. I am now dieting again and am currently fluctuacting between 188 and 190 pounds. I'm using the myfitnesspal website to record my calories and exercising more.

My dream is to do the Beachy Head Marathon next year in 2014 so this blog is record of my attempt to fulfill that dream.

Yesterday my husband and I went for a walk to replace a geocache which was 2.48 miles long with some ascent.  I also popped down the shop (another 1 mile walk) and used the exercise bike while watching Eastenders, 31 minutes and 6.3 miles later.
