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
