I hate sounding like I got excuses..... But I want to be honest. Since we left Australia (9th Nov) I have not been able to get a work out in. Here's what I do have, a bung arm, from sleeping in one small bed together with the Tasmanian Devil. Totally burned to shreds from riding the scooter for 6 hours looking for a place to rent. Of course I could have got a workout in, there are no excuses, I could have done a bodyweight workout, etc. prior to the bung arm. Of course, work also comes into play, super busy catching up. Sitting for long hours, planes, cars, scooters, absolutely destroys me. Not doing anything tomorrow other than getting over being burned like a crisp and get Anna to work on me and see if the bung arm is anything to do with the nerves. Already had massages. Luckily, the bung arm is not from training. I haven't done any for 6 days! Got a kettlebell workshop to run this coming Friday, I hope all will be good then. Anyways, just an update that I didn't enjoy writting. I do see that everyone else is doing extremely well. Also, let's be transparent 100%. The Bintang beer, about the only thing quinching my thrist in the heat is also not helping. The good food is also not helping. With that said. I still only eat once a day with a few tiny snacks at night.

Strange week as I was away for a few days. Day 3 I only could do yoga, days 4 & 5 a lot of walk and day 6 only yoga too. My energy is quite low today but managed to do a workout from a 10 week program that I was already doing before the challenge: All with 8kg. 5x(5+5) Floor press. Need to work on the technique with less weight. 5x(5+5) Renegade row 5x(5+5) Windmill 5x(5+5) Press Now I have 3 weeks ahead with no travelling and I can focus on the training 🚀

On day 1: I struggle through the Beginner workout... I have to say I chose 12kg to avoid injury (I would rather start small and then upgrade), but went all out, leaving me gasping for air and weak in round 2. I did better on 3 and 4... but still, I finished humbled: lesson learned: pace myself better! On day 2 went for my kickboxing training. Day 3: Back to beginner workout. This time better pace... 30 swing, 12 squat, 14 press both sides and 14 row both sides for all 4 rounds (4704 pts)... I am very happy with this, as it was a more consistent training... I could go up to 16 kg the next time, but my weak point is the strict press (the last 2 reps of the last round were really jerks as I wanted that even number for all rounds 🫣). Or do one more at 12 kg and maybe get a little better stats, but more importantly, make sure the form is solid before 'promoting' to 16kg. Any thoughts on the matter? (edited since i first written 8kg)

Starting Point — 9 Nov 2026 Weight: 91.15 kg / 200.95 lbs. The main goal is to drop some belly fat by focusing on consistency and accountability. Before photos: https://www.skool.com/kettlebell-5845/before-photos?p=a38a7012 Here’s my plan: - Start with Diet and maybe fasting - kickboxing training (at least 2x week) - Kettlebell training… Exploring various programs (starting with beginner) and recording at least one round of my training. (3x-4x week) - Going for a walk on 3 days a week. - Posting on my achievement (this is a challenge for me as I tend to be pretty introverted, but I put it there to emphasize the accountability ) I’ll start with this. Focus on the process. And let the result be. At 200 pounds and 5’6”, if all of this is being followed, I should see some progress. 😊

Starting Point — 9 Nov 2026 Weight: 91.15 kg / 200.95 lbs. It’s the heaviest weight I have been in years. I have taken shirtless as well for my personal archives. Let's see how we'll do!
