21 hr fast today
I’m keeping up the fasting momentum although I’ve taken a couple of rest days exercise-wise. Just walking today, about 6,000 steps. My fasting target today was just 18hrs, but as ever I played it by ear and in the end fasted 21 hrs quite comfortably. I’ll set a target for another 18hrs tomorrow but just…

Diminishing returns – time to calm down!
OK, so a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is never going to be great, and with a correlation between T2D and Pancreatic Cancer (PC) which killed my dad, it’s no surprise that I’ve panicked. The advice from Diabetes UK to lose 15kgs of weight as this may reverse T2D hasn’t helped and literally in…

36hr fast – back with a blast!
Yesterday I kick-started my fasting with an OMAD (one meal a day) fast, basically I just ate lunch – an omelette – in the early afternoon. After my bike ride in the evening, I was a bit hungry but by the time I’d had a bath and chilled, I was honestly feeling more tired than…

Slowly starting to run again
I’m keen to try and get back into running as I know that combined/alternated with cycilng it’s one of the best ways for me to lose weight fast, and that is the goal! 馃檪 Since I injured my knee back in August 2021 I haven’t done much running at all. Last year I tried to…

Weigh-in
After the shock of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and my concerns about the possibility of it leading to pancreatic cancer (PC) which killed my dad, you better believe I’m now treating my weight loss as seriously as cancer. So, I’ve started back with some intermittent fasting – just OMAD (One Meal A…

Shit got really, really real!
As I mentioned in my last blog post, I just had a worrying diagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This sparked a real and bigger concern for me, since diabetes is caused by problems with pancreas function, and my dad had died from pancreatic cancer (PC) when he was 53, a year younger than I…

2023 weight loss goal – diabetes remission – this shit suddenly got real!
OK – I’m back, and blogging again as a way to remind me to stay focused. My last blog entry, ironically enough and purely coincidentally, was dated exactly 2 years ago tomorrow, 7th July 2021! At that time I’d yo-yo’d back up and down and then up again a few times after my initial weight…

Pissed, and pissed off with myself!
Another two weeks almost since my last post and again all gone pear shaped. I’ve put on 3lbs since then taking me back up to 18 stone 5lbs (257lbs / 116.6kg) – frankly I am quite pleasantly surprised it isn’t more. And again I think it’s pretty clear to me why – just as I…

A slow week…
My shoulder has flared up again after some good success at building back my swimming, and combined with another reasonably crap week weather-wise this has hindered training and motivation. A few lazy takeaway nights and booze sessions haven’t helped things either. I finally pulled myself out of my funk and managed a 36hr fast again…

A good start (restart)
So, after my slightly depressing weigh-in yesterday I’m back on track for my first longer fast – currently at 33 and a half hours in. I decided to weigh-in this morning again – and am very gratified to see that I’ve lost 2lbs already in 24hrs!! Obviously a lot of that will be water weight…
