What they see I don’t
Brian will say when
we are on our WhatsApp video conferences that I have noticeably lost weight and
so will my other friends. I, however, have not been convinced that the weight
loss is that appreciable. Yet, I cannot deny that stepping on the scales in the
past two mornings has given me two readings below 80 kilogrammes and my lowest
weight in probably a decade.
What it signifies is
I am shifting the pounds, albeit, quite slowly as it is taking a lot more
exercise and effort to show results. I can still pinch a good chunk of flab in
the front even if the love handles have shrunk away. Maybe, I will have to do
some abdominal and leg workouts to trim the belly fat to a better frame.
The optical illusion
that forms in the shadow from the light cast from behind almost suggests one is
getting a figure-8 midriff, but that will be wishful thinking and the stuff of
dreams. I have a lot more work to do.
A warped rhythm of
the walk
Whilst it is not the goal, I am usually pleased if I get 7 kilometres done within 60 minutes, though
getting it at 63 minutes which is an average of 9 minutes to the kilometre is
not entirely bad. Getting 10 kilometres done in under 90 minutes is a
worthwhile achievement with over 13,000 steps in it.
My pace much as it seems
regular and constant in terms of body rhythm sometimes leaves me wondering how
I could have slowed down when I have not stopped at all. 10 minutes to the
kilometre when in the same session when I might have done it in just over 8
minutes is something difficult to fathom. I can even get 170 steps to the
minute and I am not jogging.
I satisfy myself with
the notion that I am making progress, the results will not be instant but show
over time and I feel quite fit and happy. I enjoy the exercise regardless of
the conditions, I need to plan for how I would keep it up in Cape Town. There
is a count down in motion. Yeah!
