Had a bit of a weird one this year. Some big ole life stress and have gone from 88 to 79 kg in about 8 weeks.
Life is getting better, and keeping my weight down has made me feel a lot better (combination of wanting to have one thing I’m in control of, and also feeling the health benefits).
Main things seem to be learning to stop eating once I’m satisfied, which helps with the self control to stop pigging out on crap that I don’t need at all. Eating dinner earlier 5-6pm (routine I’ve picked up while staying with friends), and then not eating again until 12 noon. I’ll have a protein bar or two if I do some training after dinner, and weekends are more relaxed - but consistency through the week seems to be the main winner. My cardio and climbing have massively benefited.
I’ve also been fitting in a bit of cardio post climbing, and I’ve been managing to train more. It definitely all adds up!
Glad to hear life is getting better mate and great work on the training - definitely found clarity of thought and mind through training in my own tough spots.
