This is the first time I\u2019ve started to actually log my performance. Well, first time beyond the usual Strava stats.

I always find this hard. The exercise logging<\/strong><\/em> part.

Intermitten fasting and exercise has become such a huge part of my life that I don\u2019t even think about it much.

I just do it.
Roll on son, I cos’ don’t think about it.

Well, maybe <\/em>I still fret about the hills, what gear or bike to sit on, and how long it will take for me to get back in time to pick up the kids from school.

Hills pay the bills.

Cos’ honestly I\u2019ve gone from hating hills like death to hunting them down with passion. Six percent this, nine percent that \u2013 its all gravy as long as I don\u2019t stop.

So yea, here we go loco. I\u2019ve decided to actually <\/strong><\/em>start cataloguing my performance with Dianne, and more importantly logging my weight loss journey and muscle growth.

Fat.<\/em><\/strong> In public.
Logging fat loss in public.

It still feels strange to even think about it.
Strager still, that you’re reading this.

But hey-ho, hills pay the bills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still remember Christmas 2018. 115kg\u2019s pushing towards 118 \u2013 120kg\u2019s after boxing day and on the eve of the usual New Year resolutions, which at the time \u2013 had always previoulsy resulted in failure. That was before I met Lucy, and everything changed from that point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failure. That painful word that\u2019s always the cousin of Fear.
So I ripped the shit out of Fear, and chose Hope – the honest friend of Action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See cuz, today I clocked 96.9kgs after my usual gym session. I feel bloated, tired but better. I\u2019ve been down with a heavy cold for the last 3 days and off the bike \u2013 something which for me is very surreal given that Dianne is practically church, partner and lover.

So it all begins today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday, September 9th<\/sup>, 2024.
Recorded weight: 96.9kg’s<\/strong>.
Early Autumn.
Gear inches changed from summer spec of 75Gi (48×17), to Winter Spec, 67Gi (48×19)<\/strong>

I\u2019ll start logging my training performance and will keep an eye on progress.
I\u2019m having fun, so this is all a journey for me.

I\u2019m loving the ride, so lets turn this bitch over one gear at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
