I'm much fitter than this time last year 10k runs and 80k cycles are fine but should do some more upper body resistance.   My biggest health issue is booze, specifically wine. I drink about 6 bottles a week, which is at least twice as much as I ought to.


I cut back a lot on my wine consumption. I often had wine every weekend and sometimes during the week. Now a couple of months can go by any alcohol. And now, when I have a nice bottle of wine, it tastes that much better.  As an added bonus, my cellar gets depleted at a much lower rate. I probably won't be buying any cases this year to restock.

I haven't noticed if there's a fitness 2024 thread.

Anyhow.  Weight is stable.  But...  I can fit in clothes that I did not fit in last year, and a winter coat that was still zipping very tight early this fall now fits very well.  I could even fit a pull under it if I wanted too, but it wasn't too cold to walk outside today.

Walking is still hard though.  Slopes and snow.  I'm not yet to Rocky IV level of shape.  Ivan Drago will have to wait.  Or I'll need some of his stuff for my pains and my asthma.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

My old spotting partner showed up this morning.  Gave me the confidence to try for and do 290 on the bench.   :showoff:

Down to 101 Kg.  :w00t:

Don't want to jinx it, but I feel like this is the year where I'm finally dropping below 100.
