Only 0.3kg off this week but parkrun was faster and the exercises are feeling easier - 35 second plank and 8 push ups - so getting stronger. Today is day 49 of 10k steps. I just need to keep doing what I’m doing.
I can’t see any difference but Geoff’s friend told him I’ve lost weight so I must look different.
I’m going swimming now.

Yes GM! That's great. I skipped potatoes last night but had turkey with veg and watermelon dessert (fruit doesn't count). Hoping I can maintain this momentum for next 8 days before next phase.

Watermelon is lush and so very low in calories, it doesn't really count as a dessert, 2triornot2tri

My 2 goals for this thread are:
- Lose 10kg by Christmas

- Run 5k comfortably (might include jeffing, but it’s the comfortable bit I’m after)

I ran all of parkrun this morning and it felt comfortable! I'm not sure I'll be able to do it again next week but I can now work on slowly increasing pace to get back under 35 minutes (37:37 today). It would seem that the weight losses so far, daily 10k steps (day 50 today) and 7 weeks of strength exercises are paying off 💪

HOW: Alcohol w/end only
No takeaways
Orange Tuesdays, rugby x2, run x1, strength x1

Nightowl: Under 10st by 31 Dec & 15 mpw min.
Drink more water.
HOW: Improve diet - have you done the maths and considered in detail what you need to do?

Why 15 mpw? It’s nice to focus on the process but very easy to ignore without a why - “consistent running will improve PBs”? Will you do 5 x 3 or 3 x 5?

Fraggle: TBC
