12 minute mile NSV - Funny thing
Ok. So I have been doing a HIIT on treadmill for the last month, slowly working my way up by tracking how fast I can run during interval training. Never really paid attention to the miles. Today I set myself a new random goal. Try and see if I can run a 12 minute mile. I am no runner by the way. So I step on the treadmill…

NSV Resting Heart Rate
In the past few weeks I've been a little discouraged with my workouts. I seem to work my *kitten* off yet my HRM says. "Guess what you worked out for over an hour but you only burned 540 calories". Thinking maybe I was only under the impression I was working hard I started working harder by increasing my resistance on my…

Surprising encouragement when checking in...
I lost a little weight since yesterday, which was great in and of itself, but I got a lot more encouragement when I went to log my exercises.

Eh?! (Look again...) WOW!
That was what I said today in the gym. My gym has one of those old scales, with slides. I was used to slide the top one to 80kg and then the smaller one. Started with 91kg 10 months ago. Got stuck at 85kg for many months after some time. And I realized I was drinking too much wine, beer etc. But I couldn't cut that until 2…
