Another 4 pounds gone!

Just weighed in this morning to discover that I’m down to 103.8 kg or 229lbs! That’s roughly 2kgs or 4lbs down the scale - woohoo!
What’s more, I think I went at least one size in the past six weeks, since I started this. People have been commenting over the past 2 days how my figure [...]

Switching to weekly reports

Let’s face it, with summer vacation, kids at home and the heat, updating daily is more than I can do It’s been a good week, plenty of workouts, although no major weight loss. I lost one pound, I think. It’s hard to tell really, when drinking two glasses of water can tip the scale. [...]

Picking up from where I left

morning break: one slice of “diabetic bread” - 42 calories, 4.5 grams of carbs and 3 grams of protein
lunch: fish fillet (unfortunately fried - I was eating with my [...]

Swimmer’s Ear

Well, so much for my swimming practice… It’s been a while since I posted and during that time I did zero swimming. Funny, my one before last swimming practice was excellent, I swam just over a kilometer at once, for the first time in my life.
Then, one practice later, I get back home and [...]
