For some reason I elected to do a 4 or 5 mile leg of the Edinburgh Marathon Relay event as part of the office team.

This fits in nicely with my new years resolution of shedding a few pounds of body fat.

I ordered an Accu-Measure (tm) skinfold measurement gadget from ebay. You just follow the instructions and take a measurement of the suprallic skinfold just above the right hip.

Today I am:
Skinfold: 20mm

Which for my age equates to:
Bodyfat: 21.0% - which according to the chart is 'Average'

I intend to stick to areobic excercise only for now.

I'm playing 1hr of 5-a-side football every week and this morning I did my first run for a few years 1.5km

Since our local pool has just reopened I might try and get in for a swim tomorrow morning.

I don't really want to change my diet, which I think is pretty good, I may just reduce the portion size.
