When I started this blog, my aim was to be from 83 kg down to 78 kg before our holiday to the the Scottish Highlands in April.
As has been charted, that goal was achieved a little while back, but now with less than 2 weeks to go, I have weighed in at 73.5 kg
The weight is not coming off as quick as when I began, but there are a few reasons.
Ironically the more weight you lose, the fewer calories you are allowed to achieve weight loss, making it harder to continually reduce your intake.
The last two weeks I have had a cold / virus that has curtailed my ability to exercise, mind you last weekend I went for a bike ride the first time in ages, and wow that really burnt off the calories, see image below.
Climbing has tailed off a bit, until I can get this cough under control, but hope to give it a go this Monday.
The ability to have a guilt free day on a Saturday removes any monotony, but the biggest risk is those little extra bits in the evening, carry on resisting them really does make a huge difference.
So why the picture of the canoes at the top?
As a birthday treat, my wife has arranged for a sea kayak adventure with a local activity centre in Torridon, where I will get the chance to kayak for the very first time. The location will be around Shieldaig island, (pictured in the background of the picture or if the sea is not sufficiently friendly. it will be in Upper Loch Torridon.
So the next time I update this blog will be in May, and probably a little heavier after a two week holiday in the Highlands, where I will take a break from calorie counting, and enjoy the stunning scenery walks and adventures.
