30 Days gone - Status and measurements

So, 30 days have gone and time to look at what I achieved during July.

I managed to do 23 hours of exercise out of my goal of 30. I am slightly disappointing in that even though it included 5 days where the whole family was away on vacation. However my weight went down with 5.9 kg and I am now officially below 130 kg for the first time in, well I do not remember the last time the scale showed less then 130 kg. This is a BIG boost for me and I am very happy with the weight loss during July.

I also did my measurements on July first and I have just redone them. As the table at the bottom of the post shows I lost a total of 10 cm during July. Initially I was a bit disappointing in that but thinking about it I do not really have a realistic impression as to how much I can expect to change in a month, so based on my weight loss I have decided to be happy with the measurements changes :)

Yesterday, Sunday, I went through my closet and got rid of all clothes that no longer fit. That was an extremely positive exercise and again gave me quite a boost to keep the good work going. However, it left me with a much smaller wardrobe, in more then on way :). I can now finally wear some clothes that have not fitted me before but that I have bought for this moment :).

I could also go out on my bike on Sunday and use a proper bike jersey that my wife bought me. Up until now there was no way I could squeeze myself into the biggest sizes I could buy at the local sport shops. But now I do fit nicely. I know, sounds silly but it truly was a great feeling taking the first bike ride finally dressed properly :)
