My first ‘proud of’ shirt off photo below!

Nagaa,

Well it’s been another big month for me!

Here are the big things that I have achieved on top of my normal training and exercise

8th November – Rebel Sport 10k Fun Run – Time of 59.57
11th November – JP Morgan challenge – 5.6k run – Time of 30m30secs
22nd November – Swim leg of the Kurnell Triathlon – 750m in 17 mins
29th November – Nepean Triathlon – whole kit & caboodle – 1k swim, 30k ride, 10k run – completed in 1 h 27mins

I was happy with my time in the Rebel Sport race – I was aiming for under 60 mins. JP Morgan, not so happy, as I got a massive stitch and I had to walk for some time – I would have got about 28 mins the rate I was travelling I think! I went too hard at the start which is a hill, and killed myself! The Kurnell swim was not a big one, but it did give me a taste of a Triathlon prior to Nepean. I should have done better as I swam in the wrong direction for a bit!!

The Nepean Triathlon I completed has been my biggest achievement to date, and for a first attempt, I’m pretty happy with that!! The part I’m most pleased about is that in the Rebel run, I did 59.57, and in the Nepean, the run I did in 59.03 – almost a minute faster, considering I had also just done a swim & ride! Here are some photos from the Nepean Tri taken by the awesome Kath O’Connor who was on hand to provide me with lots of encouragement on the day…





On top of all of this I’ve been doing my normal exercise as well which looks like this;

Monday – Lunch – Monday Movers running group – 6-7 k run – 40mins
- Evening – High Energy Class run by Georgie from Bootcamp – 1 hour

Tuesday – Lunch – Pilates with Georgie – 1 hour
- Evening – Gym Session – weights & cardio – 90 mins

Wednesday – Lunch – Run to the Ian Thorpe Pool – 20 mins run, 20 mins swim
- Evening – Session with Ben for 60 mins

Thursday – Evening – Gym session - weights & cardio – 90 mins

Friday – Day off

Saturday & Sunday – Cardio – bike ride (30 k’s) & running + weights

So a fair bit! But I gotta keep it up, to keep it off!

So how did I do in November?

Here are my results:

Weight
Original – 150kg / Last month – 99.7 kg / Now 95.1 kg = a loss of 54.9kg!

Waist
Original - 157cm / Last month – 105 cm / Now – 102 cm = a loss of 55 cm

Chest
Original – 136cm / Last month – 107cm / Now – 104 cm = a loss of 32 cm

Leg
Original - 81cm / Last month – 64cm / Now – 61 cm = a loss of 20 cm

Body fat
Original - 45.5% / Last month – 28.8% / Now – 26.9 % = a loss of 18.6%

Muscle mass
Original - 20.1% / Last month – 30.1% / Now – 31.2% = an increase of 11.1%

So I smashed my target of 96.7 – losing not 3, but 4.6 kilos in November! Woo Hoo!

The other thing is, according to the listings in Wikipedia – my bodyfat % is now in the ‘acceptable’ range! And now only 2cm to go until my waistline is ‘acceptable’ according to those government ads!

Any my target for December – It’s gonna be hard to do – but by the end of the year….

My target weight is 90 kilos!!!!!! – a loss of 60 in total for 2009, and 5.1 for December – wish me luck!!

Thanks for reading.

Pete

PS. My weight loss to-date equals….
