It’s been a day with a break from family!! it’s holiday time and they went to the mother in law….. I had urgent matters in the office – going to shoot an assignment tomorrow… I was SOOOO sorry that I could not go ;P

So I went to the office… prepped gear, drank coffee with the friends.. and yes… I had a little milk in the coffee!!!!! After that I went swimming in the harbour pool. it’s pretty warm – 20,4 celcius. I only clocked 1000m in today. it was my fifth day in a row swimming. I took a detour on my citybike and clocked 7,6km in there. Today my total bike riding on the citybike was almost 16 km.

THE BELT… As I wrote yesterday my measurement is not kg. but holes in my belt. After talking to my friend Thomas he gave me the idea to show the development with the belt. So here you go… my goal is to fit a pair of size 31 jeans. That equals 80 cm.

As you see in the picture I have lost around 16 cm. so far in 5,5 weeks. it’s around 2,9 cm in average a week. I just need to keep it up. I’m pretty satisfied with that.

When do I need to reach my goal? It’s not the most important. But I have a goal on the short term. the 16th of august I’m going to a summer party with the production team I was shooting with in Spain for 3 weeks and where the journey startet. I want to have lost as much weight and look as good as possible just so they get a surprise.. a lot of the guys did not believe I could keep it up… I just want to do a “in your fucking face!!!”.

PS: Tomorrow is gonna be a working day.. no training.. but shooting a reportage for 10-12 hr. with a 9kg camera… that has to count…. AND…. I will tomorrow get my race bike back from service…. I can’t wait!!!!!

My race bike is in for service!!!! I miss it already. I bought it used and send it to my locale bike shop for a service. It hat some small stuff that need to be fixed. One of the parts had to be fixed… but the part is on back order….. so no bike since friday!

Swimming have been my friend. I have been in the local harbour pool the last four days. Friday I got 1400m, Saturday I got 1650m, Sunday I got 1000m and today I got 1850m.

I have also been riding my citybike a lot. I’m riding to everything. Everytime I go swimming I have 4 km each way. So that is 8 km and around 30 min of ride time.

Today in total:

• 60 min swimming
• 41 min of bike riding.

I have been eating healthy.

• 2 Rågi crispbread
• 125g mackerel in tomato sauce
• left overs from my son on a cafe – 150g. chicken breast and 100g. cheese. (nachos) did not eat any of the chips.
• 150ml of Grimbergen beer with my wife.

Have not been eating dinner yet… but I think it’s gonna be mixed salat and some chicken.

I miss my bike!

I love my six pack so much that I protect it with a good layer of fat…

— The guy behind this blog..

It has to start. To much fat and to much laziness. I got a wake up call when one of Denmarks celebs died all to young. It was the one and only master fatman who died when he was only 53 years old of a heard attack… look at the name.. you can guess why – I don’t want to be that guy.

This is not just a quick thought and a blog. It all started in may this year. I was on a job for 3 weeks in Spain. I had the chance to be away from family and daily life. I made the change and ate healthy all 3 weeks. After I came back to Denmark I kept doing that. basically I just skipped all the “white” poison – bread, pasta, rice and potato’s… and candy. That gave me two holes in my belt after the 3 weeks.

When I arrived home I started to ride my city bike more than normal. I have 4.5 km to the kids school. I started to ride some extra km. after the kids where dropped off. Just 5-8 km and then in to the office. only missing half an hour of work. I also started to swim in the local habour pool. just for 35 min and 1000m. 2-3 times a week – often in my launch break.

2 weeks ago I started to look for a proper race bike.. I have always said that people are not gonna se me… a 41 year old fat guy in lycra. But now they do! I found a used bike that was really cheap on facebook. I did not want to buy a new if it was not me. So now I swim and ride my bike.

I really don’t know my weight… I’m scared of the scale. But I think I’m around 110 kg. I’m only 168 cm…. get the point that I’m the fat guy??? I have chosen a other measurement tool:

Holes in my belt.

Today I have gone 6 holes down. Why did I choose that instead of a scale and kg? I don’t want to get disappointed when I only have lost 200g. and thought it was 2 kg. This is a more long term way… and it’s very visible.

I can already feel it. I can close shirts that I have been wearing open with a t-shirt under. My jeans are starting to be to loose in the legs.

This is the beginning – the start. I will loose faith – I will get cravings for candy and gravy and mashed potato’s.. but this blog is the way to keep me on the road.. always be able to go back and look.
