20 kg gone :)

Today the scale stopped at 126.8 kg. This means I have lost 20.1 kg since January first :) and is a great milestone to reach :). This gives and average weight loss of just above 0.6 kg a week which I think is a sensible weekly weight loss considering that I want to be able to keep the new weight when I am down to where I want to be.

The success factors so far is a change in my diet. I am eating low carb food but I do not take it to the extreme. Basically I have cut out bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cakes, and sweets and I am eating much more salads and vegetables.

In addition I have been exercising much more then usual. I am averaging to 6 hours a week and it is difficult to put in more then that being a working father of two small beauties:) Since I am aiming for finishing Bergen - Voss with a much better time next June most of my exercise now is on the bike and I am as usual following the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred routine (now at level 2). However when October hits I need to find something other then bike riding for the winter months.

Anyway, tonight I am celebrating with my wife's home mead chocolate (low-carb) and nuts treat with a hint of chilli :)
