BarefootDawsy Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 "The Band!" "The Band?" "The Band..." "The BAND!" Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ, I have seen the light! We're putting the band back together! It's been way too long, so @Endor and I are brushing off our running shoes (or just feet as it were) and getting back into our pre-COVID shapes. For me, this means forming proper habits again: Exercise every day. It can be 5 minutes, or an hour, but the goal is to get my heart rate up and move some muscle every single day. I'm tracking this with Habit Hub, and am aiming for 100%. Run at least twice per week. The weather is warming up and the days are getting longer - it's time to leave the couch. I don't care how far I go, but I just have to get the shorts on and do it. Shed the kilos. I've been in a...bulking phase....for quite some time now. Time to shift that to a cutting phase. I've already started on the CSIRO diet and it's working. I'm down to 92.8,kg from a starting weight of 96.2kg a few weeks ago. My goal is to break 90kg by the end of this. Bonus goal: Beat @Endor. At anything really - video games, running, being better looking...It's a low bar, but always makes me feel better. 5 1 Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander Scout - Level 7 Link to post

BarefootDawsy Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Did kettlebells and skipping rope today so far. At +.2 for weight because my neighbour plied me with beer last night. Feeling good though, and just got back from a short walk.

BarefootDawsy Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Weight down to 92.3 this morning, so down .3 from yesterday and .1 overall Went for an extra 4k walk last night as well. Hoping for a run today, but we'll see how the weather goes...guaranteed way to get rain is when I decide to take up running again! Might have to hit up Bunnings for some some cement mix and harden up for this challenge. Quote BAREFOOT DAWSY Scout Commander Scout - Level 7 Link to post
