Updates:
Nearly 16 KG lost now!

I've went from 3.5 pullups to 7.5 (/w resistance band) in 20 days!

Also recently tried an unassisted pullup and I was getting so close. I'm excited for my first one!

I've set running PB's in all my categories (3, 4, 5, 7 KM)

Now able to do 23 pushups in a row.

new 3 km PB !

Thextera @thextera.com · Jul 7

And last but not least. I'm getting closer to being able to do unassisted pullups. I'm doing about 4 reps now with a 35 kg resistance band.

A couple days ago I've also tried dumbell curls with a 20 kg dumbell and I was able to do 2 reps. Previously wasn't able to do that at all! So awesome!

I've been documenting how long it takes me to go down to the next number and it's been 1 KG per 6-8 days in the last few weeks !

In the start it took a long time before I started losing weight but that's apparently normal.

Thextera @thextera.com · Jul 7

Weightloss journey has also been amazing. I'm so close to sub 90 KG now!

Thextera @thextera.com · Jul 7

Missed out on a bunch of runs because of the hot temperatures. But recently it's been around 20 degrees again for a few days so i could get some in. Made some massive progress on 5 KM! Almost Sub 30 min 👀

I've signed this petition! As a retro gamer I LOVE being able to go back and play games from a decade + or longer ago.

The #StopKillingGames initative is something that should be seriously considered. It won't be one size fits all but it's a great start!

It's been much worse than that in the past. But yes! I was around that weight the last time you saw me too! :)

Weekly update:

A few weeks ago, I tried to do band assisted pullups. Back then I could only do 3 half reps from dead hang. so 50% of the movement.

Yesterday, I tried them again, with the same band. I was able to go from dead hang to chin above the bar for 3.5 reps!

Loving the progress!

Thextera @thextera.com · Jun 12

Small update:

Almost beat my best 3 km time recently. Been running 2 times per week minimum. This week is really hot to run though but I'll find a moment on the weekend for my 2nd run this week ^^.

Also lost 8 KG's so far!

Let's keep it up!
