      @nta how are you feeling after Pilates?

      It's about 24 hours later when the DOMS usually hits, and the core is aching, so good result.

      If you do it consistently you'll notice benefits in other exercises, guaranteed, that in particular is what I really like. I remark to the other half that some of her clients don't look in amazing shape but a lot of this is cos they do one or two sessions a week and nothing else which in itself isn't enough.

          Good thinking. Always good to have someone check your form though:-)

                5.15km in 33:11 today but ZERO vision problems, so that's good.

                  And I also jumped on the scales real quick. Tomorrow could be something good.

                    5km in just under 32 minutes. Minimal vision issues when I started to lose my rhythm, forcing me to pump a little harder to get it back. But I think I have the gist of this thing now.

                    Last night while hanging the washing I did one slow, perfect-form chinup at the end of each line for 7 in total

                      Today: 100.2kg - Chest 117 - Waist 110 - Hips 112.

                      Today: 99.4kg - Chest 116 - Waist 109 - Hips 111.

                      Well I'm happy with that. Under the ton for a first time in... well a long fucking time.

                      Losing another 800g over a week is still pushing hard. 4kg over 3 weeks probably isn't anywhere near what you'd call drastic, I suppose, and nearly half that happened during Week 1 where you lose the "water weight".

                      If I could keep up with half a kilo a week from here, I'll be just over 95 by 1st September. And probably telling the doctor to shove his meds.

                      Considering I had a solid meal at the pub last night as well as a Scotch & dry, that's a fairly big win.

                      Going half a kilo/week from here would get me to 94.5kg by 1st September.

                      At that point, maybe the doc can go get stuffed πŸ˜‰

                            I just have em at lunch instead and make sure I have copious amounts of black coffee in the lead up. During the week I generally eat cos I need to, the weekend is generally full mortal combat with as much bacon, egg and sausage as I can manage.

                              Fucking cold here: -3.6C is hardly ideal running but I suppose it's better than 20C+

                                    Today: 99.4kg - Chest 116 - Waist 109 - Hips 111.

                                    Today: 98.7kg - Chest 115 - Waist 108 - Hips 111

                                    Considering I had a solid meal at the pub last night as well as a Scotch & dry, that's a fairly big win.

                                    Going half a kilo/week from here would get me to 94.5kg by 1st September.

                                    At that point, maybe the doc can go get stuffed πŸ˜‰

                                    I'm doing a food thing where I only eat between 12-8pm with the very odd exception. Works fucken wonders I reckon.

                                    That is gaining some serious traction. What benefits do you reckon you're getting?

                                    It obviously does and means you can insert lots of sausage on the weekend.

                                        good going NTA, aim for low 90s. Your progress is excellent.
                                        BTW, I think you can lose about 1kg a week with more discipline on the food, and longer workouts.

                                          @wairau you're probably right. Had a bit of a pizza blowout on the weekend so recovering from that will need some keen focus.

                                          This week is where the struggle starts I think, in terms of the mental effort required to sustain it. The insomnia from the cholesterol drugs isn't ideal on this regard.

                                          That said, I had a fairly good night's sleep, which helps.

                                          Pilates tonight. My general abdominal area is feeling solid from the whole exercise regime, but I'm looking forward to accelerating the core doing this for a month or two, then looking for something harder as the body fat percentage drops below 20.

                                          Also doing pelvic floor exercises to ensure everything is working there, in terms of erectile issues and bladder health.

                                          And people are starting to notice the weight loss at work. Wife hasn't said anything
