    @nta how are you feeling after Pilates?

    It's about 24 hours later when the DOMS usually his, 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.

    @mn5 rather inconveniently, I lack a close personal acquaintance who is an instructor 🤔

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

    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.

    *real sausage, not bloke sausage #nohomo

    5km in 32:30

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

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

    Not sure if I could do that. I'd go nuts without breakfast.

    Less weight round the middle for starters. I'm trimmer overall actually.

    That's always good! I think Rogan is big on that now. One of his guests was an advocate of it.

    The most important thing is that it works for you right.

    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
