@jessef593 Thanks :)

@jessef593 You must be proud of your progress, keep going :)

September: Getting Results ! Had to slow down towards the end of the month, due to cramping of the left calf, as my water intake has risen, I think its been washing out the salt from my body, so I have increased my salt intake to compensate. Plodding on with my weight training, can't seem to get enthused about it. Started…

@jdrwho498 Thanks, the domain seems to have expired.

August: Acclimatised ! Finally developed some work stamina, now after the shift is done, I no longer collapse into my bed till the next shift is due. I have excess energy :) Started to do some exercises with my weights, still found it boring but persevered. A new activity, I bought a step counter, my goal for the day is to…

July: Damage Control Month, Still exhausted but taking corrective action Starting to get used to the shift changes, at the end of June my WT was 80Kg. This triggered me to cut the 'goodies' out of my diet, so back on a 'processed sugar' fast. The lack of resistance training is showing, this months photo am looking a very…

June: Hectic Month, work has exhausted me Lots of shifts changes at work, my body clock did not have a chance to 're=set' itself. Too exhausted to even log my food, when I had the energy my kitchen scales failed! Took this as a sign from the 'Universe', came off my processed sugar fast' Indulged in some serious cheesecake…

@alexmose Thankyou, got lot more work to do :)

May: Started On Fitness Work is still my focus, but starting to get used to the routine, gave up processed sugar for Arpil, was rewarded by a WT reduction to 75Kg. Now wanting to tone up and bring my WT to 73Kg. So this month's goal is to pick up my dumb bells and tone up. (Strength training is my weakness) With this entry…

April: Work Focused this Month Work is taking all my focus, diet and fitness are on the 'back burner' Working different shifts is draining me. Current WT 78Kg, just surviving the work routine, waiting for my body to acclimatize to the work pattern. Still looking 'flabby' in the photo's, still don't care. Next month's goal,…

March: No Focus This Month I am focused on work, my fitness & diet have suffered, I still record my food intake and took the monthly photos out of habit. Not uploaded them due to lack of time/motivation Current WT 77Kg. Am looking a bit flabby in the photos. Even this is not motivating me, no goal for next month, just keep…

February: Slow Start Work & family have kept my focus away from fitness On a processed sugar fast, until the 22nd, current WT 76Kg. Started my running again, however still not got into any strength training routine, work in progress. Still looking a bit flabby in the photos. next month's goal will be 75Kg

January: Fell Off the Wagon After my 'processed sugar' fast, I indulged in the Christmas and New Year celebrations. Rediscovered cheesecake, the result; my WT has reached 79Kg. So the goal this month is to reverse the upward trend of my WT. This year I want to focus on strength work, as last year my work in this area was…

@jeffjeff85 Congratulations on your weight training, you're more advanced than me, at the moment the only time I move my weights is when I clean the carpet. For the New Year I am trying to decide weather to do more cleaning or a more traditional weight training routine :)

@therealmarceline Thanks for the positive comments, you have inspired me NOT to celebrate too hard over the coming holidays

@nicsflyingcircus Thanks a lot, been a hectic year, hoping I can focus more on my fitness in the future, got to sort work life out.

Month 12: Work & Cold Weather Another busy month, the processed sugar fast continued to reduce my WT and I hit my 73Kg goal. Fitness routine took a hit this month, but was quite active at work. My WT goal for next month is not to get above 75Kg after indulging in the holiday celebrations. So here is December's progress…

Month 11: No to Processed Sugar Been a very busy month, omitting processed sugar from my diet seems to have worked, for the last two weeks my weight has been 74Kg. Due to work, my fitness routine has been interrupted, strength training is still a weakness, looks like I am going to miss my goals for joining a indoor…

Month 10: Routine problem Can't settle into a routine, I seem to be reacting to the chaos in my daily life. This has effected my motivation, to train and eat correctly. So once again I missed my target of 74Kg, have maintained at 75Kg, but looking at the check in photos am looking flabby. Going to work through this, first…

Month 9: Hectic month, finally got a job Made a big push to get a job, so lost focus on my eating routine. However did manage to keep up with my weekly Parkrun sessions. Towards the end of the month, had a few issues with my pc and internet, fortunately the machine was still in warranty, unfortunately it seems to be taking…

Month 8: Went to a party and paid the 'Calorie' price Had a long weekend away from home, celebrating a friend's birthday. Back home now looking a bit more like a Jelly pudding. My target of 74Kg was missed. Time for me to get weight training done, get some tone in my muscles. Parkrun tomorrow, will see how much the alcohol…

Month 7: Hectic Life has been a bit fast paced for me, yes that's my excuse for the lateness of this monthly check :) The main culprit is job hunting, is taking a lot of my time. Thoughts of fitness and dieting are truly on the 'back burner' So my soft goal of getting to 70Kg has not been achieved. However the good news is…

Month 6: Exams Finally Over All exams have been completed, passed Math and English am awaiting the confirmation results of my IT User Skills exam. AS mentioned in my previous posts, during the period of having a hernia operation and studying, my weight has increase from 65Kg - 67Kg to 74Kg to 76Kg range. At this new…

Month 5: Math is still on my Mind Bank Holiday here, decided to take a break from math and update this post, hence all the photos uploaded in one session. Will get my math exam results next week, 99% sure that I failed (yes I can do percentages ;-) So till July my total focus will be on passing the exam, but processing all…

Month 4: Math Mania on Steroids Finally figured the fault on my PC, fixed it, but did not have the time to process the screenshots. All my focus is on passing my exams, I passed English and am awaiting the results of my math exam, don't think am going to finish the math course early, so will be there till end of July, am…

Month 3: Math Mania Still recovering. My PC is still not fully fixed English & Math exam are a priority at this time. Towards the end of the month I did some gentle walking & cycling, also attended some social events and relaxed my control, on eating sweet stuff, know that I will be paying the 'exercise' price later :) So…

Month 2: Operation Time My thoughts this month has been the operation and the recovery period, knowing that am a bad patient I did not want to try anything too soon and 'undo' any stitches. So after the operation had a miserable time trying not to hurt myself, focused on my math course, Had scored well on a 'mock' exam so…

===================== 2019 ===================== Month 1: Routine disruption The Christmas celebrations and a impending operation has disrupted my routine, hence the lateness of these 'check in' photos. Last year one of my proudest fitness achievements was completing the C25k running program. This year my priorities have…
