Well I have to face it. So far this year I’ve put in a fairly pathetic effort and haven’t even got below my notional ‘I am really overweight now’ figure of 108kg. Just cannot seem to get motivated to eat less and that’s where the problem is. I have updated the spreadsheet and it does not make for motivational reading :).
I am surprising cardio fit – can do a 30min 5km, over an hour of fairly intense cardio workouts, pop an hour in on Zwift or whatever but just eat too much crap. Well I have the rest of the year to at least get back to where I was a year or so ago at just under 100kg and then I’ll be reasonably happy.
One big plus though – in the past and I am sure it was related to my ulcerative colitis, if I tried to push the exercise for more than a few days on the trot I got quite ill with heavy cold-like symptoms and that forced me to stop for a few weeks and then I had to get motivated to get going again. This year now I am fully recovered from all my surgery I seem to be avoiding getting ill and can push on a bit with the workouts.
