In der haus der Koffeekonig

Greeting, people (and approximations thereof).  Due to popular demand, I am once again blogging on my weightloss progress.

When last I blogged, I had reached my first goal of losing 20kg, and was sitting at 112.9kg.  That was a month ago, on June 25.

It is now July 26, and as of Monday (24th) I weighed 109.8kg.  However, I feel that may be a slightly artificial number as I had had little to eat that day.  It's probably closer to 110.5kg or something.  Time shall tell; in this case around 20 hours should be sufficient as I will weigh in after work tomorrow.

In terms of other things going on in my life, the last couple of weeks have been interesting.  I travelled up north for a few days for a wedding.  I think I managed to surprise quite a few people with how much weight I have lost; I got heaps of really positive feedback all weekend.

On coming back down south I was worried that having a bit of a gym break would stop my progress (I only went twice in the 5 days I was there).  However, there seems to have been little harm done.  Though overall I think my rate of loss has slowed - it used to be about a kilo a week, now it's slightly less than that.  But I guess that's to be expected.  On the down side, I somehow hurt my back while up there, which slowed things down a little.  It seems to have cleared up now, though can still complain when I sit still for too long.

Since returning my trainer has decided to begin a protracted campaign of causing me untold pain and agony, which is apparently, in his words, a "reward" for reaching my goal...  I worry that he may have crossed his definitions of "punishment" and "reward".  Oh well.  He gets results, so I won't complain.  At least, not within earshot of him.

Anyhow, time to go.  Until the next time, folks.  Stay hip, and don't let your bum fall off!
