I’m very happy to see that all my hard work over the past month has paid off. I really went to town on the treats over Christmas, and was a bit concerned with how I would get back to eating healthily. However, over the past couple of weeks I have got back into the routine of my normal diet, with far fewer calories and treats, (despite the occasional binge day). I’ve also got back into my exercise routine, working out five days a week and rotating between running and gym sessions.

And it has certainly shown up in my measurements for this month! I’ve lost a kilo and a half of body weight and just over half a percent of body fat since January first. More importantly, I’ve lost half an inch each from my waist, hips and thighs, which means I can now fit into all my old clothes.  I had given myself until April to get down to 59Kg and measurements of 32-26-38, but if February continues as well as January, I should make that goal a month early.

The only metric not moving as fast as I would like is body fat, which I hoped would be down below 25% by now, and well on its way to 23% by April. However, as I’ve discussed before my bathroom scale with its body fat analyser is not the most accurate of instruments, so I will be going for at body fat test at my gym next week. The last time I had my body fat measured at the gym, the result was a good 3% lower than what my home scale says, so I may already be below my 23% target.

Definitely on track to meet all my goals!
