My weight still came down although had a few weekends of eating wrong and work trips which envolved earing out and take aways. Still doing the same weight lifting routine 4 times a week. This alternates between upper and lower body. I eat 3 meals a day, 6am, 12 noon and 6pm. Started using creatine and a pre workout...don't know which one makes the difference, but feel like a monster during the workout. Think it's time to move onto a more advanced workout...will do some homework and decide.

As I expected being 2 weeks away from home for work and living of hotel food and take aways didn't help. Neither did a few family get togethers with way too much food. But, nonetheless, I'm still down. 2 Weeks ago I also started with weight training again for the first time in almost 10 years. Just a simple routine of 20 min 4 times a week alternating between upper and lower body. I also dropped another shirt size, XL to L, and pants size, 38 to 36, since my previous weight in. I'm still on OMAD and following a Keto diet. I don't think OMAD is ideal when doing weight training. Been pondering about a 5/2 fasting and changing the weight training to a 5 day split. Something like Push, Pull, Legs, Rest(Fast), Upper, Lower, Rest(Fast). Timing the fasting days to in the week, but then that means training over a weekend. Will have to decide how I'm going to do this. Please, feel free to comment on this if anyone have a better approach.

Last year October I decided it's time to start eating right again. The trigger was a size 44 jeans and 3XL t-shirt that was getting too small.

I always had oats for breakfast. For some reason I one morning decided to do scrambled eggs. The oats normally will last me till 9:00/9:30 then I'm hangry again. The eggs lasted till 14:00/14:30. So I did eggs the following day again. Lunch normally is a chicken wrap. Evenings some meat with veg or salad. During December, I know, wrong timing of me, I decided to start fasting. First a 16/8, then 18/4 and currently, since Jan, 20/1. That's when I seriously started seeing results. At my last weight in I dropped to a size 38 and XL t-shirt. I think the size 38 is also too big, but that's what I had in the cupboard and I'm not going to buy new closes just yet. I even fit into my medium Adidas tracksuit pants again. I last used them 10+ years ago. Weight dropped from 131kg to 101kg.

Currently , since Jan, I'm only eating in the evenings. I don't get cravings during the day. Yes, I do sometimes get hungry, but some water with a pinch of salt gets me through it. During the day I only have water, coffee/tee with no milk or sugar. Come evenings I have meat veg/salad with a whole avo. No heavy or refined carbs. Only the carbs from the veggies or salad.

The last month I started cycling again. Only every second day and max 3 times a week. From week 2 I already noticed a difference. Currently getting some dumbbells sorted for the days in between the cycling.

I get a lot of people telling me I'm doing wrong with my diet and exercise. 'You need carbs' and all that stuff. So far the results have been good and I don't feel exhausted during the day. My concentration is good, actually better than it ever was. I sleep fairly well and no more bloating after eating.

So I'll continue with this till I reach my goal. I expect it will eventually slow down the closer I get to my goal weight, but I'll tackle that issue when it happens.

Take care and have an awesome day!
