Points for consistency bro!! You will see results with the effort you are putting in.

Also doing pelvic floor exercises to ensure everything is working there
do you find your vagina getting tighter?
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!

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.

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.

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.

@rancid-schnitzel will be camping so no buffet!

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.

Also last night I did a little bit of body weight. More as maintenance for the upper body and keeping things tight for Pilates, which I've been struggling with at points.
The aim is getting close to perfect form, and not worrying about taking precise breaks, or hitting certain numbers. That video earlier on talking about not killing yourself every workout is ringing true for the running, and I think should for the strength as well. With that in mind:
1 x good form chinup from full hang, hold at the top for a second, then slow release.
10 x good form pushups, elbows in for the triceps.
Wandered off to do some things around the house, then repeated the above.After another short break organising my running gear for the morning, I went with
2 x chinups - but the form on the second one was a bit poo.
5 x pushupsGrabbed another chinup and 5 x pushups after that, then did some abs inside before bed along with stretching and some pilates exercises to keep that shit warm.

#nohomo but I've found that filming yourself doing certain exercises helps a lot with form.
You can put them online if you need an ego boost too.
