He uses this set of scales that also has handles on the side you hold on to and the whole thing is supposed to measure weight, body fat and muscle/bone composition. I am a little sceptical of these things. But it was still almost hurtful to hear that my weight had ballooned to 90KG and my body fat was over 20%!
Had I really turned to the dark side of the force? I still run, twice a week, minimum 5 kilometres with an average pace around the 5:30 to 6:00 minutes per kilometre pace. I still train at Leisuredome Gym 3 nights a week. So what's the go?
Would I end up like I was almost a decade before?
NO!
I am learning to be a little more of a realist and a little less hard on myself. I've just began to reassess my food intake. I think I got a little complacent - began to slowly but insidiously incorporate food that is more 'in moderation' than everyday. The odd Italian pastry might have become a little more frequent. Maybe my portions had begun to creep up? So with the constant reality check of my daughter (versus the 'you're so skinny now it's affecting your thinking' of my loving wife) I'm just asking myself questions as and before I eat.
Also I am thinking about getting a pushbike and riding to and from the gym instead of driving. It's only about a 7 kilometre round trip but a little more cardio won't hurt eh?
Anyway peeps, just an update for you. I need to devote more time and planning to make my posts more frequent and contemporaneous.
A presto!
