WEIGHT LOSS + the challenge

[mal]

Minimum of 2-3 glasses of water before lunch
At least1 glass b4 brekky
I find that if my belly is bulging before lunch , im on the right track
The water intake will give you a degree of saeity
The water will also give your kidneys a nice flush- eliminating uric acid thru your kidneys will assist with arthritic ailments
Water has many many other benefits

DRINK ICE WATER
As I understand things , drinks need to be converted to body temperature before being eliminated thru and out of the body
Ice cold water by this conversion to body temp, will need an effort
This effort will burn calories in the process

For Booney and Another Grub- make sure you drink your beer whilst its ice cold !

Its encouragement for Boozney and Another Grog

[Booney]

Been loading up on the weights and have hit some pb's in the last couple of weeks.

Strength is certainly building. -15kg from Xmas.

[DOC]

Great effort.

[Dutchy]

Great work Boon, I got super lazy at the back end of winter so have been slowly changing my diet and activity, got a step counter on my phone now so helps me identify my "lazy" days and makes me do something every day, even is its just a 20 min walk at night. Was getting some heart palps but that has all disappeared since ive gone back to regular walks so I take that as a win.

Have just joined the new Revo down at Happy Valley, $50 for 3 months as the intro offer was too good to refuse, now going 2-3 times per week with the focus on weights and upper body stuff, leaving the bottom half to walking around the streets.

-2.8 November
-9.2 total 2024 loss
Will try and get to -11beforre xmas day

Actually liking my chai seeds and hemp seeds man !

-11.0 achieved
By doing the following
very little exercise
eating between 3-8 times a day
eating what is GOOD for me and avoiding what is BAD for me
relentless research on how foods affect the general population and Booney
keeping a food and ailment diary

The plan is to maintain the 11-0 till xmas day
Then have a spell between Xmas till 1/1/25
IF i put on 2 kilos sobiet- Ive done the hard work this month and deserve some pleasure
