That'll do me.
A week of intense work and a very mild gastro thing meaning a few missed meals.
Also more Ice Bath fun, a game of squash and a walk or two.

Re: Fat Fighter 2025 - The Year of the Fat Slob
Hey, no problem and no, not difficult to quantify at all. Vastly improved sleep, much much less 'recovery eating', obviously no hangovers and the absence of days of general background anxiety following big nights out.

Today's weigh-in..... Beginning of Jan - 119.7kg 17-01-25 - 119kg I'll take that given how little exercise I've done. Now at 4.5 months of zero booze and really enjoying it and feeling the benefit.
