Short walk home from the pub.
Yes, the fucking PUB. Caught up with a few of the rugby club committee after 4 months. Had about 4-5 beers including White Rabbit (basically the only dark beer I'll drink).
Upvote more for the pub visit not the walk!

TBH I'm pretty chuffed with that result, given the shitty eating I've done in the last week.
With 6 weeks left in this sprint, an average 500g loss per week gets me to 101.60kg with total loss of 6.20kg over the sprint.
I'd need to go at 780g to get under the ton, which is probably not too healthy
As a last point: have scheduled in for the first part of The Greath North Walk on 31/10 - a bit over 30km from the Sydney CBD to northern suburbs.

The walk takes about 2 Days (33 km One way), and heads though the delightful Lane Cove National Park. This overnight walk starts from the Obelisk in Macquarie Park, Sydney, at the...
Public transport at both ends, and despite a bit of elevation here and there I reckon I can daypack that in about 6 hours walking time, 7 hours total. Add an hour or so at each end for the train and we're good.
Hopefully the DJI gimbals I ordered shows up before then and I can take some nice video.

What's the shitty eating involved. Any chance of getting that under control? With that level of activity the weight will fall off if you can try to get some form of calorific deficit.

Pub friday = 4-5 beers
Dinner Saturday = Lone Star on the spur of the moment
Dinner Monday = Thai for daughter's birthday followed by cakey goodness.I'm a sugar fiend as stated before, so if I could trim a bit of that it is probably worth another couple of kg over a month.

Yeah that's the issue. It's important to have a life and that social aspect is crucial for most people. Good luck finding a "clean" meal at almost any place to eat out.

Steak, salad and not too many chips is always a good go to and Thai minus the cake is ok too.

@Rancid-Schnitzel @MN5 diet is interesting in the broader scheme as well.
When I was seeing the cardiologist for the hole in my heart a couple of years back, we were discussing the type of cholesterol one of my scans showed up. The doc said it was common in men my age, particularly those who lost weight in a fairly short period of time.
I reckon paleo diet is probably something to do with it - particularly the guys who go overboard on the meat and eggs and don't bring the salad along for the ride.

Indeed. Sometimes the focus on weight loss comes at the expense of other things. A good Mate of mine has lost more than 30 kilos by doing some cardio every day and staying under 2000 calories. It's an amazing effort but he's starting to look sickly, like someone who has just recovered from a long-term illness. Those 2000 calories are way too low in protein and other stuff the body likes. Hopefully he'll start to adapt but I understand it's difficult to stop when you're on a roll.

Yeah my recent heart issues were nothing to do with diet thankfully but in saying that its best to be careful. We only get one of the fuckers !

Bit of a lighter touch this week after pushing it fairly hard. Some mornings I just decided to take the rest instead of heading. What was interesting: I felt worse during the day. That might just be the fucking bullshit I've had at work lately.
Friends were over Sunday so I probably overdid the eating a little. Anyway, this was the week:
The 1.73km walk was just around the local lake/pond with the wife. I got a new toy - dji Osmo 3 gimbals for mobile phone - and was testing some of the modes. Fun.

Week 7: Weight 104.50kg, Chest 116cm, Waist 113cm, Hips 113cm
Another 100g and 1cm from the total. Given it was a fairly lax week @ 30km, I'll take it.
Plan is ~10km walk tomorrow, rest day Saturday, then the Great North Walk Part 1 on Sunday. That should get me to 200km for October.

And this morning I managed to get away fairly early - walk to the station just before 0700.
Didn't get time to down breakfast at Circular Quay as I ran for the ferry. I turned up at Woolwich and joined forces with a lass of similar age who had the directions on her phone (my battery was running flat from experimental video with the new gimbals). She was good company but not the quickest, so the first 6km took longer than it should have.
Started to flag a bit around the 8km mark due to lack of fuel (had snacks with me but needed more carbs). So only did 15km and called it a day.
