Delighted to share that at the 1st month dreaded weigh in, I’ve now managed to wave goodbye to 8kg since training began in January. This hasn’t come without sacrifices – I miss my beer, and I sure as anything miss my chocolate oranges once a week. Overall 12 month plan is to lose 25% of my starting body weight ahead of the trek, on a sustained 0.6-1.1kg per week plan. It’s actually happening quicker than this currently, and weight loss is addictive. Having spent my life yo-yo’ing, I just need to be sure that this time….it’ll be different.
