Fitness 2023

Also at my heaviest every at 84kg (I usually range between 76 and 80kg, I'm 5'10"). Determined to get that down.

Am doing intermitent fasting (only eating between 12 and 8). No booze 3-4 days a week. Aiming for 300km cycling a month. 60km running a month. Need to add some muscle toning as well but don't want to go to a gym.

A back spasm has stopped the exercise for now which is frustrating.

Try yoga.  I still hurt my back but I am no longer half paralyzed when it happens.

Well a month intothe new year and I think I can say, 'my fitness has changed, for the worse'.

I recommend looking at a light lifting regime that can help strengthen your core and hips.  If you can eventually work up to light deadlifts and squats, that is really going to help your back.  To do that you will need to become stronger and more flexible - but that is exactly the thing that is going to help with your back pain.

Damn I'mtired, yesterday I did an hours worth of off-road biking in a hurry to get somewhere and made the mistake of having a baking potato based evening meal; turns out simply not enough nutritiion to allow me to recover overnight.

Have you recovered yet, Mongers?

I am the heaviest I have been since the start of my Great Diet of 2018. I am doing enough to contain it but not enough to reduce it, so need to step things up a bit.

I'm typically quite tired, but I think it's just doing too much for my age. :-(

Hope you're getting your mojo back.

Planning on taking up some more energenic walking when I've 'finished' with the cycling. Coming out of Wales this afternoon there were some real nice looking small mountains north of the railwayline, can't work out what they were, may even have been the top of the Brecon Beacon mountains, I shall investigate.

I've lost 25 pounds this year simply by eating bagels.

Season's over for me, on to 2024. Crossed the Alps on foot, which is up there with the toughest things I've done. So this year hasn't been a total loss.
