Nikina70's Journal, 28 Jan 24

On Friday morning I did:
Kaleigh Cohen Strength - Upper Body & Abs with Dumbbells | 30 min
Followed by her:
POST-WORKOUT STRETCH for Injury Prevention & Flexibility

5kg weights felt good and I could feel I'd worked the abs all weekend. I feel like my muffin top is receding, but would need to find my misplaced measuring tape (or buy a new one) to establish that. Jeans aren't any looser yet so I know there is progress to be made - and now my holiday is creeping up - 7 weeks to go...

There are some size 10 items in my closet, which I'd love to fit into, but that might be a tad ambitious.

I'm still only managing two strength workouts a week and daily average calories are still hovering about 1850 - hence weight loss is slow. I did see 67.7kg on Wednesday morning, but I've made some bad choices (did someone say hollandaise?) since then so I have to 'own' it. Hoping I can claw it back this week.

I've decided that if I can get below 66kg by mid March that would be acceptable.

My step count has also dropped this week because I had the car to get to work most days and next week will be the same so I need to fit a walk in to my day at some point. I have managed to set my body clock to wake up at 7am though - so that is a baby step in the right direction.

Hope you all have a great week coming up! The end of Jan already - where does the time go? xxx

68.2 kg Lost so far: 17.9 kg.    Still to go: 3.2 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
