Cheating slightly with that title, but only slightly…
Post Christmas and Boxing day excesses, I was a not inconsiderable 94.3kg, as of this morning I am 87.6kg which is a tickle over 1 stone loss in the rolling month.
However, it’s not all good, I’ll post an update on goals and progress monitoring later this weekend.
Lovely frosty Sunday morning in Edinburgh before heading up to Knockhill Racing Circuit to help promote some of the SMRC race series…
Tuesday morning, in the driveway, some lovely frost beads just before the snow started…
…and create some new hurts whilst I’m doing it! Giving away my age a bit with that song lyric, but it’s on my gym playlist so I went with it.
2 weeks in, I’m starting to see change and not just on the scales. Belly is gradually being beaten in to submission!
Aside from the shape change, I feel physically better for having done more exercise. In the mornings I feel more alive and alert having done my gym session before work.
Sweating out endless hours of cardio is fine if it is needed for your goals, it’s not needed for mine. So all my workouts have been under 20mins, from warm up to cool down.
Overall body fat percentage has dropped along with weight, down 2%, but that still leaves around 14% left to go.
Weight loss has been steady and I’ve been paying lots of attention to my macros tracked on MyFitnessPal. Again, it’s important to know your goal and if what you are doing supports that goal.
Strength is building nicely, I’m not trying to get big, but I’m already able to do more reps in my circuits.
Decided to have a go at giving the car a touchless wash using just Snowfoam, no separate wash.
3 weeks since it’s last wash but the roads here actually haven’t been too filthy.
Also proof that the wing vents must do something on the 4 series, even if it is just accumulate road grime and salt crystals!
Used a bit of G101 diluted 5:1 in water to help out with the wheels. Rest of the car was just foamed, AutoBrite Magifoam diluted 4:1.

Let it dwell for about 7 minutes whilst I grabbed a coffee, then rinsed it off (and missed a bit on the rear bumper
