Diet progress: 7kg down

Leave a Comment Posted by on April 1, 2011

Today marked one of those pleasing mini milestones that I find motivationally helpful. I have now lost 7kg since 1st January. Every few days I see a weight on the scales that I have not seen in a long time (if ever, when I was going up past this weight I was not weighing myself [...]

The 10kg turnaround

Leave a Comment Posted by on February 28, 2011

Recently my diet has progressed to the point where I am about 10kg down from my maximum weight last summer. That weight scared me quite a bit and so I took action to lose about 7kg although I then put 2kg back on over Christmas. Since the beginning of 2011 I have lost 5kg (which [...]

What helps me improve fitness & lose weight

Bike challenges for 2011

2 Comments Posted by on January 1, 2011

So the start of a really cool year (well at least as far as dates are concerned anyway. eg 1/1/11, 11/1/11, 9/10/11, & 11/11/11). What about bike challenges for 2011. I have made two cycling related New Year resolutions. The first, as mentioned in I’m Bike posting every day in 2011! is obviously to write something [...]

Missed seminal habit moment

1 Comment Posted by on October 20, 2010

It is good to note that I have now cycled every day for 44 days. A bit sad that I missed marking the 42nd day (Sunday) here on 42bikes. The habit is getting stronger & riding is easier. Weight loss has slowed but slow improvements to body shape continue. My thanks to habitforge: Forge new habits. [...]
