Back on track this week....
31st October - 85.2kg @ 25.2% body fat
7th November - 85.0kg @ 25.0% body fat
15th November - 84.4kg @ 24.9% body fat
22nd November - 84.7kg @ 24.7% body fat
29th November - 83.9kg @ 24.6% body fat
Overall, this means that in November, I’ve only lost 1.3kg, of which 0.9kg is fat, and 0.4kg is muscle. That’s not a massive difference, but if I look at it over the two months that I’ve been exercising and not drinking (much) I’ve lost a total of 5.1kg, of which 4.3kg is fat and 0.8kg is muscle
1st October - 89.0kg @28% body fat
29th November - 83.9kg @ 24.6% body fat
Plan for December is to maintain the exercise, to drink like a fish, and hopefully be below 85kg on New Years Eve.
Looking Good mate just need the hair to come back now.Was informed today that I’m eligible to join the Zipperclub. Anyone else here a member?
While I’m at it I might join the “double belly button” club as I seem to have developed another one (drain holes)!
Pacemaker clearly visible top left but that will be explained away as an embedded shrapnel injury from the Gulf War.
In other news my surgeon is delighted with my progress, 1 med has been altered due to side affects and I feel better already and I’ve managed to put on some weight.
Now 66.4kg and 10.4% body fat.
Steps are now over 10000 per day.View attachment 78416
fellas keep up those fitness regimes. This is the toughest thing I’ve ever gone through and I’m glad I was in decent shape before it.
I can’t imagine how much harder it would have been if I hadn’t been.
Haha -absolutely brilliant!Pacemaker clearly visible top left but that will be explained away as an embedded shrapnel injury from the Gulf War.
Thanks Fifty.Glad you are recovering well @Wattie
My father had a quintuple heart bypass around 5 years ago. As you can appreciate it was a major op... It really put the scarers on us and his recovery was not easy - I immediately made improvements to my diet/lifestyle lost about 30kg in the about 8 months.

Thank you, unfortunately I aint that old (55) and once I get my bionic hip(s) next year I will have been fully “overhauled”. Should be able to take up the family reins once more then.Bloody H3ll Wattie.................Your in fine 'fettle' for an older fella!!...........Lookin' good, and glad to see you on the mend and over the worst!
I'm also 55 but don't consider myself as a younger fella anymore!! I guess 55 is the new 45!..............I'm guessing you were a sporty lad back in your teens/twenties and the hips have now caught up with you??!!Thank you, unfortunately I aint that old (55) and once I get my bionic hip(s) next year I will have been fully “overhauled”.

Unfortunately my hips appear to be made of the same genetic **** that my heart was constructed from.....hence the replacement requirement. I still workout 5 days a week (including cardio) which has certainly added to the wear and tear aspect.....Life’s lottery means I got the dodgy bits from the parts bin during construction!I'm also 55 but don't consider myself as a younger fella anymore!!

Yup British Leyland parts on a rusty old Alfa chassisMust have British Leyland in you then @Wattie

Spent some years in Harpenden and Bath when I was on missionary work dan saff.
I find my knees hurt afterwards or my right shoulder is sore
The context of the sentence was around the last three sessions where it was outdoor training with no gym equipment other than 2x 5kg, 2x 8kg dumbells and bodyweight
They are historic injuries C which we have discussed at length. I think I actually hurt my shoulder again about a month ago while over reaching for something underneath the car while working on it which is pretty standard for me
It used to hurt all of the time before and when I trained solo I always injured myself to the point that i couldn't exercise again for weeks
In short, I have zero intentions of changing PT.
