02 May 2013 – Beautiful Life

Back to winning ways – up at 2:30am and headed to the gym for a 10km row!

Even better, at the gym I jumped on the scales and found that my weight hasn’t got out of control while I’ve been ignoring it. 123.6kg – which is actually lighter than the last time I checked.

Just need to get the balance right between dietary intake, exercise and not letting things slip away when the focus is on specifics (like the marathon).

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I am not obsessed with the numbers on the scale, however I do still have an overall goal in mind of breaking down through the 100kg mark.

In terms of the row – not the fastest 10km I’ve ever done, but a decent cross-training session before hitting the streets again tomorrow and Sunday.
