Day 29/70: First day of week 5 weigh-in.
Down 1.1kg. The novelty has worn off, it’s getting hard to stay motivated. 10 weeks didn’t sound that long but I’m not even half way.

You got this Nath! What’s your target and present if you don’t mind me asking? You’re almost half way there!

I don’t really have a target weight exactly, I’m more interested in improving my running speed. I used to run 10km every day at lunch time, but after a road accident in 2019, I put on weight and now can only manage 7.5km before I need to get back to the office.

I’d like to be 78kg, I guess. For my height, the “healthy” BMI range is 58-78kg. I weighed in at 85.9 this morning, starting at 90 at the beginning of this diet.

But I’m not really fixating on the weight as much as the effect less weight has on my running speed. I used to be able to run 10km in around 45 minutes. I’m about 7-8 minutes off that pace at the moment.

Severely underdressed for this wind on the way back and kicking myself for not at least wearing a light coat. Ya got me, Melbourne. Three weeks away and I lost my senses…

My unit has still retained some of the heat from the past few days but I’m definitely putting on the warm pants and socks and making a nice hot cuppa

Sunday night cooking, with a glass of wine, and ABC jazz whilst the kids laugh playing Minecraft together. Nice

My bolognese sauce tonight was a little too acidic so I googled it and added a little bit of butter as a remedy. Fixed it right up. And so delicious too. 🤤
