I haven't posted for about 10 days and I haven't run much since then. I've somehow managed to pull a muscle in the arch of my foot, or something, probably because of my unsuitable running footwear. I have been keeping up with other exercises ie. press-ups, squats, sit-ups(or some sort of stomach exercise) and weights, but I'm missing the main weight loss exercise, which isn't great!
I have been trying to keep on top of eating well, though this weekend hasn't been the greatest because of a double dose of bad news.

Bad Couple of Days...
I had a bit of a lapse today and yesterday, not going to the gym at all and eating rather unhealthily.
Yesterday, as well as a Quorn korma, I also had a burger and chips at the Beau Nash, along with a few pints and a cake. Was a bit better today, but still had a small amount of snacky things :S
Gym tomorrow.
I did manage to do my press-ups and sit-ups over the last two days though, keeping to 100 of each a day.

Weekly review
I will endeavour to do a weekly review every Sunday or Monday of how well I have exercised and eaten. Here's me first! I'll be starting at Tuesday though because I have no records of previous days.
Tuesday 8th Feb
Breakfast - Banana.
Lunch - 2 tuna mayo wraps with tomato, lettuce and cucumber.
Snack - 2 clementines.
Tea - 2 sausages in tomato pasta with onion and broccoli. Small portion of coconut yoghurt.
Wednesday 9th Feb
Breakfast - Banana, small portion of coconut yoghurt.
Lunch - Lettuce, cucumber and tomato salad.
Tea - Chicken in a tomato sauce with rice.
Today was my first day back at the gym for a while. While it was a struggle, it felt good and was good to get off to a start!
I also went out this night. One of two nights out this week, which isn't great :S Cider isn't going to help the weight loss!
Thursday 10th Feb
Breakfast - Banana.
Lunch - 2 tuna mayo wraps with lettuce, tomato and cucumber.
Tea - 1 chicken burger in 2 pittas with tomato, cucumber, lettuce and pepper salad.
Friday 11th Feb
Breakfast - Kiwi fruit.
Lunch - 1 pitta with feta, tomato, lettuce and cucumber.
Snack - Clementine.
Dinner - Chicken stir-fry with broccoli, onion and pepper.
Second day at the gym and I already felt slightly fitter.
Saturday 12th Feb(Treat day!)
Breakfast - Fry-up with 2 sausages, 2 eggs, beans, and 2 pieces of toast.
Tea - 2 pittas with feta, tomato and lettuce.
Snack - I went to a house party in the evening so I ended up munching on various snacks eg. crisps and dips, baguette and biscuits. Didn't go too crazy though!
While I didn't have the healthiest of days food-wise, I did go to the park with a few mates and play around 2 and a half hours of football. That's got to have burnt off quite a few calories! :)
Sunday 13th Feb
Lunch - 2 Cheese and tomato sandwiches.
Snack - 5/6 chocolate digestives :S
Tea - 1 pitta with feta, tomato and cucumber.
Lazy daaaaaaaay! No exercise at all! We'll call it 'rest day'.
How Do I Feel?
I feel pretty good about the week gone by. I think I stack really well to my plan within the week and didn't really eat many unhealthy foods at all, while also keeping busy with some sort of exercise! The weekend was a bit naughty, but I definitely want to allow myself one day a week where I don't have to think about what I eat as much!
Hopefully I can keep this up!

Introduction
Hey, I'm Jack and I'm just starting a blog to keep track of my progress with exercise.
I've been wanting to start losing weight and get fitter for a long time, but have never really bothered to properly follow it through. I'm really hoping to do better this time!
As well as going to the gym, I am also aiming to alternate between sit-ups and press-ups one day, and then weights and sit-ups the next, as well as eating much healthier and avoiding takeaways and the like.
I actually starting properly eating healthy and doing press-ups etc. about a week or so ago, but have now decided to blog it because I feel it will help keep me motivated and will be a good way of keeping track of what I've done.
I'm pretty unfit, so it's gonna be a slow start!
Also, on Wednesday I weighed myself at 14st. I will try and keep track of my weight weekly!
