Alright, let’s do this…
As per the home page description, this blog is intended to journal my journey through 2020, with a focus on my running, fitness and diet.
The intent is to track weight and activity daily, done via a set of Garmin Index Smart scales which automatically log my weight to Garmin Connect. I use two Garmin devices, a Garmin Fenix 5S Plus, and a Garmin Vivosmart HR+ (I swap between the two as needed) to track activity levels and heart rate.
I’ll also use MyFitnessPal to track calories, plus protein, fat and carb intake. This talks directly to Garmin Connect so I’m able to track calories in and out to get an idea of how my weight loss should be going.
My two goals right now:
- get my weight under 70 kilograms by March 31
- run the Brisbane Road Runners‘ half marathon championship event on May 3
I’ll go into more detail about those goals, how I intend to achieve them and what challenges I face in further posts.
