This is my last weigh-in before the Big 5-0. I’m very proud of this achievement and only 1.3kg to go (9 kgs down in total in 81 days which is 12% of total body weight). I am looking and feeling

So with still a week before 50, I thought I’d post the change. Still a ways to go (2 to 4 kgs) but some good progress thus far. I need to also get rid of those muffins on the side.

Down another 800g from last week. 2 weeks to go to 50 and 1.8kgs to go. Started at 90cm waist. After 6 weeks was on 85cm. Now, down to 81cm. Yowzer…. This journey of a CEO is not for sissies.

The weight has stayed stable oddly enough, even though I’m continuing with eating healthily, and my overall wellness, so yes, it’s a little frustrating when the weight doesn’t even come down by a few grams but anyway, patience is a

I’ve just finished my first 6-week cycle, and now starting my next one. I think I’ve petered off for a little bit, and an interesting reason why the weight hasn’t been dropping is apparently I’ve been drinking too much coffee,

My update for the week on my progress on my journey to reduced Rob is on track. It’s tough when one is traveling to always maintain the right eating plan. I have done really well, slightly less on the exercise

I’m sipping my black coffee and finally starting to get used to the smaller portions, and the healthier food, definitely not missing the drinking side of things actually. Losing weight although slow, I knew it would take time, it’s a

Used the gym scale today. Down 1.65kg from last week. Still looks more like the petrol price than my ideal weight, but getting there… clean eating and gymming and still going strong. Over and out.

My snack box for the day. What did I learn in my first weekend back in SA?Well… we overeat is all I can sayI had no bread or dessert on Friday nightMy plate was a quarter less than normalNo beers

I’m sitting in the airport lounge eating my lettuce leaves, some beans, and a bit of protein humus. I sit here and ponder what on earth am I doing? …. but I must admit, with no drinking, eating clean, eating

My first weigh-in. Yay… the hard work is paying off. Down 3.6 kgs on the first weigh-in. Now, the hard yards begin…. watch this space and keep rooting for me!

This was my first weekend on this challenge, of training, eating well, and trying to get some rest. I think the key is after going to 2 braai’s/bbq’s is realising how vital one’s portion sizes are, and how we generally

I am doing well! Day 4 of 81 to ‘new look’ Rob and I’m done for my workout today, plus my weight is down by 3.2 kg already within the 3 days (admittedly, it’s probably 5 days since the end

Well, I didn’t want to plagiarize any well-known novels out there, but I wanted to journal how I look and feel as I reach the age of 50. Everybody seems to see me as this high-flying CEO with a great
