2019 was supposed to be the year of change, which it kind of was - I had more time at home, but unfortunately didnt make the most of it. I finished last year at 135kg.
This year I decided I had had enough. I started Jenny Craig, and bought a mountain bike.
I have hit a bit of a plateau,but that's ok as I kinda had enough of strict dieting. As such, I have been enjoying food a little more, and while maintaining the exercise have seen my weight hover around 111kg for the last month.
I will pick it up again at some stage to try and crack the tonne.
It has been costly though. Have dropped 1-2 sizes in all my clothes, so have had to buy a fair few new threads, but it's a small price to pay.
My mountain bike appreciates the drop in weight though. It's nice to be able to tune the suspension, instead of just setting it on 'Max'
The second upside is Linda joined me. I won't say what she started on, but she has also lost over 30kg as well. She also enjoys mountain biking, so it's a great hobby we now share together.
