Ha! I had that exact same thought the other day. Another month locked up at home is an opportunity to shred, particularly as food supplies run low*
I looked at the last weight chart I set up on New Year and projected I should be about this weight a month ago, so...
However, the doctor did warn me that one cholesterol issue (a partial blockage in one artery) could also be related to my weight loss efforts a couple of years back. Can't win, really
If I target 500g per week, then by end of April I'll be at around 98.
*Note: My wife is half italian. Food will never run low

I moved to Bali 3 months ago, weighed 105kgs.
Didn't really ramp up the exercise massively given heat and humidity, but totally changed eating habits. Ate much earlier in the evening, smaller portions. Cut a lot of wine out.
Left Bali a few weeks ago at 96kgs.
Currently in Queenstown working on restoring my former glory.

@NTA I reckon aiming to do something each day is the way to go. Whether that's a walk, a jog or a circuit approach. All runs on the board!
6am!! might as well hassle the missus bro

Just looked at the private health for my operation - I paid $70 out pocket at the hospital, and another $75 for follow up medication and radiology.
Health fund paid out nearly TWENTY. FUCKING. THOUSAND.
Last time I'll bitch about the premiums... For a while...

11km bike ride this morning @ 20.8km/h - pushed hard at points and no ill effects in terms of vision/migraine. Good signs.
Much faster without the boy, dragging me down.

Weather has been shit lately for the most part. And I've been enjoying beer.
But I have a goal: Next stress echo is on May 13th, and the doc said I should be back running by then.
So that means I've got to have a plan! This week i need to resume running (of a sort) and build into a 5km run so let's do this Monday/Wednesday/Friday of each week, with maybe a bike ride Sundays:
Week 1: 3km jog/shuffle at any pace
Week 2: 3km under 19.5 minutes (6:30/km)
Week 3: 5km jog/shuffle any pace
Week 4: 5km under 35 minutes
Week 5: 5km under 30 minutes
Week 6: 5km under 28 minutesReckon that is achievable if the circulatory system stands up to it. By the time I hit that treadmill, shirtless and covered in electrodes, I reckon I'll avoid making a complete idiot out of myself in front of the cute little radiologist.
EDIT: will bookend the 3km work with 1km walking each end as a warm up / cool down. No need to be stupid. If I consistently hit the goals early, I'll bring things forward.

Pretty much on target. No vision problems I noticed besides I'm Fucking Unfit God Help Me
Good one mate. How was your heart rate? Assume that's the major thing you're monitoring?
-
Much better in terms of pace BUT I went out a little too hard on the first km (6:12) and the vision got a little dim a couple of minutes later. Decided to increase breathing rate which seemed to help a little for second km (6:19), and then relaxed into the last one (6:38).
No idea why the "moving time" above is different to the lap splits
For @voodoo I did a 124BPM straight after the run and then 102BPM 5 minutes later
Probably room to stretch myself but not yet...

@NTA so the vision trigger thing is the best indicator of overdoing it?
lol first I read for 5min and I was impressed... then I saw it was 5 minutes later! heh heh. Still, BPM is BPM if ya get what I'm saying!!

Nice one Nick. Def best not to stretch to quickly. The moving time looks right doesn't it? Your 3 laps add to 19:09, then add an extra 4 seconds for the extra .01 of a km you did before you hit the stop button!

Ah yes, that would make sense. I added an extra 10 seconds in there I think and went over.

I have found a minor issue with the segments thing, in that on one of the trails I run regularly, I assume it all comes down to the exact point of entry to a segment via the satellite, otherwise it treats it as another segment all together, I have done the trail twice a week, and sometimes both are on different segments, despite following the same track.

Strava cheats for you a little, and cuts out time if you stop (at lights. being tired etc) i find the Garmin app to be the most accurate, the Strava to be the fastest (not by much usually, a few seconds here or there)

That's the thing - besides turning one corner sharper than 90 degrees, I didn't actually stop when crossing the street at all.
Anyway, good enough for a fat old bastard.

Light showers here so went out in the lightest rain jacket I own. A mistake as it turns out because the rain died off to the occasional spot here and there and the jacket was just extra weight and extra heat.
Vision no worse than it was the other day, and HR of 133BPM post with 100BPM on 5 minutes post
