Happy with that. Very much so. I was initially pretty frustrated about how much effort it was taking to lose seemingly so little, but now I can see that it's steady and consistent, and hell, this isn't easy. If it was, you wouldn't see so many overweight people walking around.

It's awesome listening to fitness professionals talk about this stuff. I now have a much better idea of the way I should be training to actually see results.

Up until working at Pioneer I'd been walking to work. In the summer, I walk both ways and clock up over 10kms a day. I've been thinking how virtuous I am doing this, and how much good it must be doing be, where in reality, I've been stuck on my comfy little plateau for months now.

I'm already thinking of smarter, harder ways to train when I move back into town to work. I'll definitely be making use of Hagley park as an outdoor training venue, and Centennial will be my fitness centre of choice once again.

I might cut out some of the walks in favour of an earlier start at the gym a couple of days a week.

Overall, I'm happy with where things are at. Really looking forward to some more group training sessions, and seeing how I can overcome the challenge of not working at a fitness centre anymore.
