Progress Report 1/8/26
I’m feeling a little “meh” because I don’t feel I’m making a lot of progress. The last measurement I took was on Thursday. I weighed in at 78.1kg and 12.42kg fat. I need to lose 300g of fat this month. This is entirely possible. But I have to get through two massive BBQs and a trip to Rome (an inevitable carbohydrate fest).

I’m on the limit with the calories, but I’ve been cycling on my single-speed roadbike. I need to do more cardio.

Three problems with the objectives:
- I’m finding it impossible to write for 1 hour a day. I think this rule sucks. As I write this, it’s approaching 1500 on Saturday and I haven’t done any writing on the book yet. Let’s see.
- At least 15 minutes of bass practice a day. Last weekend, as I was leaving the house, one of my dogs knocked my bass guitar over and split the neck. This made it impossible to practice over the weekend. As this is the land of plenty, I already have a new one. But I’m still not doing enough practice.
- No alcohol. I had a glass of red wine last night and I will have a glass of prosecco tonight. I’m breaking the rules, but not too badly.
