Not sure why I missed it technique or strength. I suppose it’s never clear cut though.
solid effort. you’ll get it next time. nice to see you back logging.
Sold my anvil. It’s going to be fun getting it from the front garden to the back garden .
Got anvil from back garden to porch by sliding it on rubber mats . Took me about an hour . Knackered now. Forgotten how hard pushing and dragging is, even felt sick for a while.

What motivation would drive you to do this?
I think seeing some results. My arms do look a little bigger from the dumbbell presses and some bicep work .
I have improved a bit on the diet today…
Should do better tomorrow. It was forming habits that was effective for me a few months ago. It took about a week to get going properly then.
Obviously I have the motivation to lose some my waist for the wedding.
You must forgive me but, from an outsider perspective, this isn’t obvious

^This is not fun, but it is productive. I suggest you divorce the need for enjoyment from the need to eat. Food is fuel, not fun.
You are right, of course you are. I am trying to improve gradually.
Been a bit better today
Still a fair bit of bread though.
Managed a good clean rep with kettlebell bup with the 32 kg. So I was happy with that.
Did some dB presses , tricep extensions, dB flat bench press.
Will incorporate double KB squats soon.
Been up and down stairs a lot of the day moving wood, clearing house read for electrician.
What are you doing to accomplish this?
What conscious decisions are you making daily to move towards your goal?
What is your plan, and how far do you think you need to move the needle to get from where you are now - to where you want to be?
nice work
Very far. I have lost control of the kitchen. I find it hard to resist the food when it is there.
I can not buy it. Also I am lazy when it comes to cooking.
I will make better decisions today. Done quite a bit physically today. So it would be a shame to waste that.
I looking to get down about 2 stone in 6 weeks 28 lb
How? What strategy are you going to employ to ensure your success?
Eat fruit and vegetables and less no more chocolate .
I have eaten an apple. I still have frozen vegetables
Also I have stopped drinking a lot of coffee on the advice of my doctor.
That’s a goal: not a strategy. You’re not achieving this goal, and I imagine it’s because you don’t have a strategy.
What strategy are going to employ such that, when given the choice between fruit or chocolate, you pick fruit?
You need to consider meal prepping.
It’s easy to make unhealthy food because it’s usually faster and/or the same amount of effort as making healthy food… when you’re hungry, you’re just going to pick the tastier and faster food.
If you have food already prepared (meal prep), throw it in the microwave for 3 minutes and your food is ready. Its MUCH easier to stay on track that way.
Honestly I don’t know. Perhaps look in the mirror . Consider my wedding day .
Thanks that’s a good idea.
I will eat some almonds later
It doesn’t look like either one of those has been successful so far. It would seem you need to find another strategy.
Right now, eating chocolate is winning compared to being less fat and looking better for your future bride.
Ok
So what WILL be better than eating chocolate?
If the answer is “nothing”, it’d be better to just eat the chocolate.
