    @mariner4life I think it just makes the tuck a bit easier to hold...

    @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

    Probably speechless from arousal you big stud you......That's what happens to all us blokes who do Pilates. Get used to it.

    Not as tight as your bike pants, homo.

    Pilates last night and I struggled. Good signs in one regard, but maybe I need to repeat some of the exercises later in the week.

    5km run this morning in 30:17 and fuck I flogged the last km out trying to get under 30.

    Tighter during the week but all the sausage on the weekend reverses it all.

    Woke up at 4am and despite getting back to sleep for another hour, was too tired for the run this morning.

    Last night I did some body weight and reckon I'm a bit fatigued overall - could only get out three sets of chinup + pushup + plank.

    Maybe I'll finish work early today and do some 400s in the afternoon to change it up a bit.

    Listen to your body and be prepared to take a rest day. Better in the long run.

    @antipodean you're not fucking wrong.

    5km in 29:30 today. First time I've cracked 30 minutes in an age!

    Today: 98.3kg - Chest 115 - Waist 108 - Hips 110

    I sort of felt like it wasn't going to be a super result, given I'm feeling a bit bloated and maybe ate a bit more this week than usual.

    However, its still progress, and maybe even a bit of a settler for the next month as I've been going pretty hard at it and needed to take a breath.

    Didn't run today but covered a few km in the bush instead. Surprising how many walking tracks are in suburban Sydney when you look hard enough.

    I love a good walk with my lads. Motivation can be tough at times but as long as I bring a good feed that helps.

    5.2km in 32:30. Below zero C again. Third km was tough and basically fucked me.

    Left knee feels a bit loose so it's clear I need to start getting forefoot strike back to start running WITH my legs and not just ON my legs.

    Pilates Tuesday night. Too stuffed Wednesday morning for a run after a bad night's sleep.

    Tonight Miss TA was at dancing at a sporting complex within a reserve, so I did some night time bush walking on the track marked - well it was marked but I lost the bit where it turned right at the local cemetery, and had to walk through the bastard worrying about zombies and such.

    Going to the snow in a couple of weeks, which is essentially my first winter snow trip. Will be hiring snowshoes to have some fun with that, and taking the boy as well.

    5.14 in 32 minutes this morning.

    Given I've skipped the last couple of Wednesdays I think I'm better off doing Monday, Thursday, Saturday for running and with Pilates on Tuesdays, fit everything else around those 4.

    That snow activity shit can be brilliant for weight loss and fitness. Used to do it in Norway. Just rolling snowballs is an awesome workout, although I'm not sure what the conditions will be like for you. But body is working overtime to stay warm and you're sweating under the thermals. Just have to resist the temptation to go nuts at the buffet afterwards.

    5.16km in 32 minutes.

    Not looking forward to weigh in due to bloat, and tiredness, and less than ideal week of eating discipline

    Punched out a nard before weigh in which helped with the bloat

    Still peeling off a cm or two here or there. Good progress this week and anything above 400g / week from here is a win.
