And the teenager brings his Chuck Norris doll into the thread...

The man invented the total gym. Show some respect.

First 5km jog in a while. 32 minutes even with a couple of hydration stops in there. Feel ok actually and the aura wasn't that bad, so maybe that is my "training" slot for HR

Waking home now to weigh in...

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.

So this week's exercise plan :

Monday: 5km run early
Tuesday: Pilates
Wednesday: 5km run early
Thursday: Body weight sets
Friday: 5km run early
Saturday: 5km run early followed by weigh in
Sunday: Mrs TA is going to see a musical with her mates, so I'm in charge of the kids. Might take them bushwalking and then wait for her to get home, half-drunk and toey. She's the best apparatus I've found!

First session?

@mn5 yeah. Basic mat Pilates as a gentle introduction. No doubt I'll be sore by the end.

Probably not as bad as you'd think to be honest but you'll definitely feel it in muscles you never knew you had.

NTA

@mn5 I know the muscles of which you dial. I have felt them before.

I hope you mean feel your own and not mine

5km this morning in 30:15 - very close to the 6:00 / km mark that I'd like to get to.

Have to say I didn't get any aura issues either so maybe it's the perfect pace, or I've turned a bit if a corner on that. Time will tell.

Hope it's the latter feller. Keep at it.

@catogrande may also be related to getting the right amount of hydration. I'll experiment with it.

Had a sneaky step on the scales and, despite having a fairly breezy day eating-wise in the city on Sunday, still hit 99kg.

Might add some upper body on Monday evenings. Help put away the work angst and get stuck into the well after Sunday recovery.

NTA

A few sets of chinups in between hanging the washing: 4, 3, 3, then one starting from full hang, real slow to the top and back.

Abs and breathing to finish

Man, you must have a fuckin heavy duty clothes line!

@crucial Fucken STRAYA mate. Gotta be tough to handle the drop bears.

In other news: slept through until 6:30 this morning. So that's a bit of a win. Feeling much better at work though it can still fuck right off in favour of a lottery win.

NTA

Pilates tonight. This class was recommended by a female friend from high school who happens to live in the area and has done for years, so I'm giving her a lift and will re-establish the old friendship.

Wonder what the wife is going to think

Probably that there can't be two women with a total lack of taste living in the same neighbourhood. That would be too coincedental.
