Today I am going to talk about boring stuff again as the comedy hasn't really been happening at the gym. Things pass into routine quickly, and the front desk lady has decided that I'm a regular now and so our conversations are much more short and business like. Which sucks actually, it was really nice to carry on like a pork chop, and make a big production of it, but maybe I'm now into the grind of trying to loose weight. It was novel for me to eat carrots and go to the gym during the work day and now it's kinda not. Which is okay too. Just gives me less material for daily blogging.

So on with the boring stuff. I've noticed an substantial improvement in my flexibility and at yoga I noticed asanas or as we in the industry call them funky yoga shit - has improved markedly from last week and well, pretty much ever. I've been doing yoga for a while but today it was really good to feel like my gut wasn't in the way and that I was more in touch with my body. I'll spare you the pink crystals new age hippie shit, but I definitely felt better for it and was able to enjoy my yoga more. I'm no Stretch Armstrong, but a good solid range of improvement at Yoga wasn't something I expected 2 weeks in at all.

Today I had my 2nd weigh in, and I'm happy to report that I'm down to 78.5kg which means another 2kg loss and a total of 4kg so far. The likely hood of me maintaining this rate of loss is unlikely but it's a good start and has cheered me up and encouraged me heaps. I can certainly maintain this level of activity and eating as it's pretty enjoyable overall so things are looking good.

Objective for this week: I'm headed to Melbourne this weekend to pick up more ludicrous printmaking gear so my challenge is to eat as healthily as possible while away and try and sneak in a visit to a gym over there. I have to take the car over on the Spirit of Tasmania which is generally pretty ordinary so I will have to be on the eye out for excuse making and eating crap as that's not on. I'm not sure how that will work, but I'm willing to give it a crack. During this week I want to stay focused and really power it at the gym and try and slot in an extra yoga on Wednesday if at all possible.
