Day forty-five

Ok. So now, a month and a half in- I've done it all. Well almost. I ran the 5k in less than an hour (quite an achievement in under a month's training if you ask me!!!) and I've continued to cross train with the swimming, running as well as the muscle toning or strength building sessions in the mornings at home. MIND YOU.... I only get the weekends off. So I train and exercise 5 days in a row, every week. My daily 5-day routine would consist of alternate running and swimming days where on an average I run about or at least 3km per session and swim from 10-15 50m lengths per session. So... you do the maths.

HOWEVER, the weight has somewhat been stagnant. Although I have managed to shed off another more or less 2kgs, the weight is still fluctuating between 108-110kgs at the moment. I'm not sure whether it is due to the amount of water I'm drinking these days which is about 2l per day (that I always try to have) that my body is holding or just that my body is in starving mode because of my (not so extensive) reduced meal portions (although I do find myself enjoying the 'good' stuff on the weekends every now and then). I really hope that this plateau ceases to continue. I am training and exercising my lungs out.

So here's me from 2 days before (after a 3km run). I don't know if you can tell much difference but I personally feel that I look leaner and my clothes seem a bit looser in places.
