Diet progress: 75 kg

The balance is now telling me that I weight 75 kg. That means I've lost another 800 grams.
Not too much, but perfectly on target.

Tracking my running sessions: 3

Longer run than usual (9 laps and a half), but with no speed variations.

Diet progress: -1.2 kg

When I put 73 kg as one month target I wasn't so sure I could make it.
But the progresses are promising: now I weight 75.8 kg, that means I've lost about 1.2 kg.

Tracking Gabriele's running session

A friend of mine, Gabriele, borrowed my GPS logging devices. A long run, and it could have been even longer if he had remembered to turn the GPS unit on few minutes before.
In fact all GPS unit needs few minutes to acquire a stable signal, especially when they have been switched off for a long time.

Tracking my running sessions: 2

This has been a much harder session: five laps ad medium speed, three laps of speed variations, stretching session and then some exercises.

During the last speed variation you can see how I gave the best of myself, in fact then I had to walk since I couldn't run anymore.

New bet: to weight less than Davide

Lately Davide has been making fun of me because he eats like a pig and still weights less than I do. He is also so stubborn that he doesn't want to take a blood test, so these are the terms of the bet: "he'll take a blood test as soon as I will weight less than he does".

So the plan is simple: strict diet and a lot more of physical activity. With strict diet I don't mean I will not eat anything, that is very stupid. Instead I will choose carefully each food I'll eat during the day, avoiding to take any carbohydrate after lunch (1.30 pm) till the day after.
This isn't easy because it means i can't take any sugar in the coffee, drink a cola or having even a fruit. Pizza, pasta and bread are then prohibited at supper, so I could only have vegetables, meet or fish.
The explanation is that by keeping a very low sugar level in the blood, the body will start burning some of the lipids that have been with me for a long time. By not taking any carbohydrate after lunch it means that I will be burning lipids all night long.

So, let's being. Starting weight: 77 kg, one month target: 73 kg

Tracking my running sessions: 1

It has been a long time since my last running session, so this has been an easy one. I joined Gigi, a soccer referee, too bad that I can't keep up with his pace.
We did three and a half laps around Prato della Valle at medium speed, then some speed variations for another two laps. Then a stretching session, and some running exercises.
