Week 8 - Results

Well, it's all over for me and to be honest the plan hasn't worked as well as I'd have liked in terms of measurements, although I think I look better than before, even if the pictures posted may not really show it. I'm not sure if I've lost any bodyfat, but one thing this plan has done for me and that's the fact it's got me eating better than ever before, and I feel a lot better than I did eight weeks ago which is a big plus.

At the end of the day it's got me off my arse and into the gym. I'm sure another eight weeks would see results, it's probably simply a case of tweaking the diet around a bit and maybe dropping more calories, but I'm running the London Marathon in April so now my focus turns to that and the training begins next week. I'm going to try to fit in two fb workouts a week still but realistically it may only be one.

It's going to be difficult changing my diet around again with a lot more focus on carbs now, but after the marathon I'll go back to weights and start again. I now just need to do a lot of research on how to amend my diet to fit around all the running.

So that's about it, if anyone's got any tips on distance running please let me know. I'm running for Macmillan Cancer Research which means a lot to me having lost my dad and nan to cancer, and if anyone wants to sponsor me a few quid then please go to www.justgiving.com/dnash

As for the plan, I'd still say it's worth every penny of the £7.50 spent on it, just for the advice and tips alone, not to mention the diet suggestions. I'll definitely use it again come the spring and just try a slightly different approach.

It's been a lot of fun!
