92 – No chance to get out today so sweaty pilates at home.

Our scout group hired out ninja warrior for our xmas event tonight, my arms hurt!

after that I managed some yoga

30 miler this morning………….. no idea what day we are on.  all good.

Really struggling for motivation today, been at a low ebb for a few days. Work’s busy, days are short, haven’t been out for 2 days except school and shops.

It’s Yoga time.

Day 94: two rides at Narooma Mtb Park. Amazing place with a lot of variety and free access (provided by Forestry or councils) like most Australian parks.

Some fun Aussie features. Fantastic fun with the kids.

That last kilo was hard to shift but I’m <—> close to my target weight. Extra motivation to go at it hard for the last few days!

Now that’s impressive!

I’m about 10 kilos away…but then I haven’t ever been my target weight as an adult!

Day 95: rode the footpath along the cliffs we walked two days ago. In and out of several secluded bays. Really nice flow with some good climbs too.

Didn’t do second cardio yesterday. 30 mins of weights and stretching instead.  Not doing anything today until what I expect will be a very muddy and tough night ride later so saving myself for that. Tomorrow is MTB curry night starting at 5 in the pub and I have an all day teams meeting (!) from 0830. So it’s going to need to be an early alarm and probably treadmill run to get the 30 mins in.

Saturday I expect will be a ‘phoning in it’ activity with a hangover!

Day 94 was a busier one again. 17km walk round Loch Ard with Mrs S then some weights, my daily 5km run and a bit of (pool) swimming to round it off.

Me in camouflage mode

I think she misheard.

Run on Tuesday evening, 6.23k, Yoga last night.

Motivation is a struggle at the moment, not sure why being so close to the end. I was hoping to ramp it up a bit but think the cold I had has knocked me back a bit. And its just dark aaaalllll the time, well, when I’m not working anyway!!…..I wanted to do a 10k in under an hour on Christmas eve, but I’m working and don’t think I’ll have an hour spare, as travelling to inlaws as well….

I haven’t lost any weight! I’m still 105kgs and was really hoping to lose a bit, but I my diet isn’t great at the moment. Was talking about this with the wife last night and we’re both feeling it. Struggling for time and motivation with meals, kids are a pain in the arse and say no to anything we suggest but won’t actually say what they want to eat. Think I’m going to go back to vegetarian for a while in the new year to try an improve my diet.

I’m really hoping I keep up the excersice after christmas, I want to, but also know what I’m like. I’ll keep goin to the gym throgh the winter and I want to run a couple of times a week as I’m enjoying that and getting better. So hopefully, if I exersice 4 times a week min and with a better diet, I’ll shed a few kilos and improve everything fr the warmer months.

Nice crisp sunny day here, went out on the bike to do some lunch laps of the Uni campus – usually do 6, 8, sometimes 10 but today went for the 12 Laps of Christmas. Just about an hour’s worth – tidy.

5 days left!

30 miler today. cold and cold.

fuelled by black pudding and dripping butties.

Wanted to go for a run but I’d left my trainers in the garden and they were soaking!

Went down the gym instead and did 6k on the treadmill in 33 minutes.

5 to go!

yesterday was lunchbreak skatepark

today was a lovely crisp and clear night ride , right up until I landed a jump badly, snapped a spoke that pierced the rim tape and then wouldn’t seal, leaving me with a long walk back to the car

Love the first pic @reeksy

Morning weights and treadmill again.

And then an after-lunch walk on Loch Katrine after the worst of the rain had passed over.

Riding MTB at Glentress today. Place has changed so much with the new holiday cabins (more like houses) but the trails still make big smiles.

Day 97: half day drive to the next campground so only time for a 45 minute walk on the beach.
