I tore my cruciate and haven't really ran properly since Novemeber. Used to play 5-a-side twice or three times a week. Since I've been out I've really piled on the pounds (I wasn't exactly skinny before getting injured). So 6 weeks after my op I'm deciding to try get back on the fit trail.
I've been eating healthily since Monday, brown toast, eggs, chicken, brown rice etc. and have lost 3.5kgs* (comparing first thing in the morning on Monday to first thing this morning). I work in a shop in the airport and seeing all the people buy massive bags of everything for their 8 hour flight is pretty tempting but so far I've only had one thing I "shouldn't" have had. It does get a bit tough, I've been getting headaches and just feeling a bit whoosey but that's probably the change of sugar levels, tea with no sugar for me these days.
Reading this thread and all the success stories made me give it a shot. I've no goal yet but I'll be sure to set one soon. So, cheers callanlfc5times and RAWK.
*I initially said 3.5lbs by mistake.
