Only 2 kg to go until my goal of 64 kg! Really exciting! :)
I picked that specific goal last year both because:
- It's a nice, round power of 2!
- It corresponds to a lower-normal BMI of 20 (I started at 28).
- It puts me approximately at a body fat percentage of 15% (I started at 32%).
During #cccamp23, I might decrease the calorie deficit a bit, but I'm still furiously determined to keep tracking, to avoid another "Japan effect"! xD

The last check-in was almost two months ago, time for another one!
Had a busy August, and basically stopped tracking during #cccamp23, #hoa23 and #mrmcd23…
Still, my weight basically stayed the same, which is a surprise!
So… I wanna do a "final push" to my goal of 64 kg, which should be doable in 3-4 weeks at 1200 kcal/day! When, if not now? Wish me luck!
I'm scheduling the next check-in for next Thursday!

All my t-shirts are way too big now… I sometimes steal shirts from @piko@chaos.social! :D
Does someone, by any chance, have nerdy shirts (from CCC events, for example) in size S which you never wear? :D

I reached a cool milestone today! My weight dropped to 67.2 kg, which is lowest I've ever recorded in the last 11 years! \o/
When I measured my blood pressure and resting heart rate recently, I noticed that it also had dropped significantly into a super healthy range! :)
I was pretty hungry on some days in the past two weeks. D:
And I did lots of sports, but I'll tell that story on another day.

Feeling good! :) Over the past week, I ate 1211 kcal and 91 g of protein per day, on average.
Last week, someone commented on my weight loss in a charming way: "It feels like you've changed somehow…" I like how this formulation leaves it up to the listener to decide how to reply. Because weight loss can also happen unintentionally, or not be associated positively.
I think I can reduce the frequency of these checkins again, see you in a fortnight!

This week felt easy! Good to know that I can quickly get comfortable with a calorie deficit again.
- I ate 1223 kcal/day, on average
- I did some free introductory sessions at three different gyms, to try out strength training. Fun and exhausting! :D
- I'm aiming for 100 g of protein per day; this week, I ate 94 g on average, which seems fine.
I'm tracking calories using https://cronometer.com, and plot them with https://github.com/blinry/nom & https://github.com/blinry/cronometer-to-nom.

Yesterday, I ate the smallest prime number whose roman numeral representation has 13 characters!
But that's okay because I rode my bike to a calorie equivalent of the year in which plutonium-238 was first synthesized!
I'm back on track! :) Next check-in in a week!

Yesterday, I ate as many calories as the skateboarding trick where you make three and a half revolutions while airborne! 🛹

I ate exactly as many calories as the first "Holy Year" declared by the pope! Under certain conditions, Catholics are forgiven all sins in these years. How convenient!
This is kind of my limit of what I try to eat each day. I feel that my body needs to get used to this again. I'm doing okay, but some days are pretty exhausting…

I ate as many calories as the number of a UN Security Council resolution, which established an international military and civil presence in Kosovo, and marked the end of the Kosovo War. 🕊

I'll just start formulating these as riddles for y'all! :D
Today, I ate as many calories as the UN number identifying a certain hazardous material!
It's highly flammable (its flames are invisible in daylight) and toxic – the median lethal dose for humans is 100 mL. 🔥
