I’ve blogged on and off about the fitness regime this year, and so far it’s basically going to target. After watching the scales for the last 6 months, I have become accustomed to my new weight, but I wanted a comparison to compare it to my weight at the of the year. So what better thing to use that some of my heavy reference manuals, to see what the difference in books would be.

It’s hard for me to think that I carried that weight unnecessarily around with me every day. These 6 books represent what I’ve lost in the last 25 weeks by being a little bit healthier and a lot more active. Visualising weight accurately is harder than you think. Like how many laptops do you weight ? How many books does your chair weigh ? How many chairs would weight the same as a table. It’s interesting to do these conversions as it helps us understand these numbers in more tangible everyday terms.

The next challenge ? Is to do the Munich Stadtlauf 10km in under an hour, it’s on June 24th.
