Day Four: "Baby Steps"


Tonight, I am going to focus on small victories. Just for a little while I am going to forget the fact that the jump rope was painful today, that I took more than twice as long to get through it as yesterday, that my rhythm is still off and I am jumping much too high and exerting far too much energy with each hop, that as a consequence of jumping so high my heart rate and breathing were much higher than they were supposed to be, or that my ears were extremely painful from the elevated heart rate in cold weather.

Instead, I am going to focus on one number: 69.05kg. Yesterday I doubted my eyes when I saw 69.45kg, after all only three days ago I was either of 71.4kg or 70.4kg, depending on which scale I went by, but I don't think I can doubt that I am dropping some weight somewhere now (even though I haven't a clue where).

Exhausted and have a big day at work tomorrow so off to bed.

  1. Mate - well done - the scales cant be lying again and again. Thats awesome. I had the same problem with the jumprope - only managed 22 clean ones as a max tonight. Good luck tomorrow

  2. Hey George - not too good here on these blogs - replied to your blog on my own: guessing it is not like facebook where you see a post.

    Either way - thanks for your encouragement. Wrote that I will go to donki on my way home tomorrow night to look for a jumping rope. Still enduring my feather light one.

    Keep it up. Rich

  4. Thanks for the good thoughts George. Eating regularly will be a challenge but I'm certain something I will learn and look forward to it. I need it!
