A Swim and a Walk
Friday morning saw a a sewer pipe in a bridge under the Western Freeway inbound lanes burst. It seems unrelated to talk of keto, calories and exercise but the suburb and surrounds I live were gridlocked by traffic, to the extent that our drive to the pool for our erratically regular Friday night swim endedContinue reading “A Swim and a Walk”
Resuming Weights
I managed a reasonable night’s sleep, although I’m a bit over this pattern of a restless hour and a half, get up for half an hour, and then settle in for two good blocks of around 2 to 2 1/2 hours each. I feel rested, but it would be good to hit the sack andContinue reading “Resuming Weights”
Rolling Back into it
Yesterday was the best I’d felt in over a week. Possibly the combination of coming out of Sunday’s hangover, some decent sleep and resetting the macros to get them right. Sleep’s still a little disjointed with the need to get up every couple of hours still there, but I feel I’m getting good quality sleepContinue reading “Rolling Back into it”
Who Doesn’t Love a Good Chart?
If you’ve explored the Pages (refer links below) you’ll see tables of the data I use for the daily weight check ins. I’ve now included a Chart tracking my daily weight and a 7 day average of my weight (smoothing out the data), and plotting them against a progress line to achieve my target weightsContinue reading “Who Doesn’t Love a Good Chart?”
A Quick Summary of the Journey So Far
This journey has roots going back to June 2019 when I realised my weight was getting to a point where it needed to be addressed. Below is a list of high and low weights by month, with some explanatory notes. This is partly to assist my own recollection. Month/Year High Low Comments June 2019 90.1Continue reading “A Quick Summary of the Journey So Far”
Calorie Deficits vs Weight Loss
Another chart, and quite an interesting insight. There’s an old adage getting around about a pound of fat being around 3,500 calories, so following that through to my measures it’s around 7,700 calories for a kilogram of fat. I ran some numbers before starting this regime and worked out that hitting my goal weight ofContinue reading “Calorie Deficits vs Weight Loss”
Weights and Sneaky Steps
Managed to hit the gym on the way home, doing my Abs, Shoulders and Back session. On getting home I realised I was well behind on my step count. There was a delivery note in the front door advising of a missed delivery during the day, so I elected to walk to the Post OfficeContinue reading “Weights and Sneaky Steps”
Dead Legs Walking
Yesterday’s run impacted on me today, with sore legs and fatigue the order of the day. Fortunately I was in the office, so there weren’t any physical demands but concentration was difficult. I passed on a proposed gym session, got home and took a short nap. Realising how short I was on steps, I putContinue reading “Dead Legs Walking”
Sometimes Work Gets in the Way
No activities today – work ended up running 12 hours, and after spending that time in a fairly stressful, hot environment I just wanted to get a shower, have dinner and relax. I have done my 12,000 steps so it’s not like I’ve done nothing, and I’m still running a solid calorie deficit, so it’sContinue reading “Sometimes Work Gets in the Way”
