31 at the moment (180/100). <br><br>
Drop to 93kg to get to 28. That is sustainable, but still overweight apparently. I'd need to get to 81kg to be "normal". I'd be skeletal. And my oversized head would look even worse. -
30 eggs a day is obscene.<br><br>
I have 5 for breakfast, but I blend them together with protein powder. I then have that together with oats and raspberries. It's bloody delicious. -
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Weight 93.3 kg</p>
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Waist: 95.5 cm</p> -
<p>Was at the Phillip Island International Classic so that was six days of eating and drinking well. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>But as of this morning I'm 92 kg and my waist is 93 cm. Quite certain I'll make my goal easily. Starting to dream about abs...</p> -
<p>Progress has stalled this week. If I'm honest that's not surprising.</p>
-
<p>Well that will teach me, it's becoming harder now. Might do some swimming. That should burn some extra calories, particularly with my shithouse technique.</p>

<p>Played in a carnival on Saturday and I currently feel like I've been in a car accident. Had to drink a million beers because carrying around your own morphine is frowned upon. Still wandering around like a cripple today.</p>

Slow progress, yet progress none the less. Weight down to 91 even.

105 weeks on and after bacon and eggs this morning, I weighed in @ 90.6 kg
Now a concerted effort to get down to 85 which will be a more manageable weight to do the http://www.coasttocoast.co.nz/

Bump. Never got to 85, bulked up instead for the Masters Games. Now trying to get fit for Japan's Parliamentary Rugby World Cup and repairing a troublesome adductor tendinopathy.

Masters Games is a harder level than Parliamentary RWC in my experience.
PRWC involves less playing and more drinking. MG tends to involve being roped in as a sub for as many games going.
My only claim to fame rugby story is the one where I kicked the winning conversion against the Houses of Lords and Commons in 2003 -

I was robbed of a hat-trick against them at Rugby School in 2015.
Finally decided to actually do all the physio I was instructed to do and my abductor is a million times better. Some genuine strength coming back into the leg and ability to accelerate is slowly improving.
Started general running again for the first time in over a decade and 5km time is now not humiliating. Weight is back down to 91kg, waist 92cm and decreasing. Starting to actually look like I exercise.

961 days and two injuries later combined with covid; sitting at 94kg and a waist that is now a legal standard measure. Investment in a home gym and a preference for a programme that addresses tendinopathy has lead me to knees over toes guy. Here's Joe talking about him:
So having always struggled with flexibility I thought it was time to address that given "lengthening is strengthening".

Decided to walk backwards up the local hill while taking the dog for a walk. Haven't had a burn in the VMO like that for a long time.
ATG bodyweight squats only present mild discomfort rather than debilitating sharp pain, so that's good progress.

that must have looked fairly amusing

It did get some strange looks, including the dog.
