Using sites to help my running!

I do not believe in diets. I think they are stupid. I think that you will just end up craving those things that you are denying yourself, and will end up binging! I will at least.

In order to help myself lose some weight as well as up my running, I use mapmyrun.com and myfitnesspal.com. I've been using mapmyrun for ages now. I love going on as soon as I come home from my run to see how far I've gone! I even plan routes I have no way of completing hahaha I planned a 15km run once which I have never run, it was just wishful thinking and over-excitement hahaha One day I will, though!

I can totally see that myfitnessplan would be super useful for people trying to lose weight. I, however, am pretty forgettful and so won't remember to put in all the food I eat every day. But I am definitely going to try. Mapmyrun has a similar tool, but it is much less-easy to use, and not particularly intuitive like myfitnesspal.

It reckons I should aim for 1,660 calories/day. If I exercise, it goes up. So if I keep to it, or under it, I should lose 1 pound a week. I don't know what that is using the metric system... 0.45kg Google says. So 10 weeks I'll have lost 5kg. As long as I stick to it!

My favourite thing that it does is it tells me "If every day were like today, then you'd weigh 66.3 kg in 5 weeks", which is what it said today. At 9pm I'm feeling full! So hopefully I can keep this up to reach my goal. I actually told myself "MIND OVER MATTER!!" when I wanted something to eat today when I was bored hahahaha
