Today 🇮🇷 12K in 1:10:45 🙂 I figured that if I can’t go for speed, I can go for distance. I also lost a kilo. Other three to go! ---

> [@Guga](#): > > I also lost a kilo. Other three to go! Because you said several times that you would like to lose weight: Can you “see” each kilo at your body? I know some people who can gain weight and you don’t see that (until a certain point 🙂 ). So it doesn’t matter if they weight for example 70 or 73 kilos. 🙂 ---

I can’t “see kilos” but I can “see the trend”. If I’m putting on weight, it begins with my face. Cheeks and chin become rounder and I can clearly notice. The same happens if I’m losing weight. So I might weigh 73 kilos, but I look slimmer if I was 75 and chubbier if I was 71 😛 but now my goal is to lose weight because the less you weigh the easier it becomes to run fast. Since I had my records when I was between 69 and 70, I want to get back to that range to compare my performance 😃 ---

That´s funny. For some reason my face is the very last thing that is affected. But I found out for me there are only two options. Overweight and underweight. When overweight people instantly tell you like it´s the funniest thing and treat you like you were a lazy decadent sloth. When I was underweight everyone who saw me asked me if I was sick. If I would worry about my appearence at this point I´d never stop to worrying because there is so much I cannot change, it wouldn´t make any sense. Maybe I´ll try some astral traveling, but I´m not there yet. ---

My wife and I used a WiiFit board as a scale for years 😃 we then bought an actual scale because “heh, it’s probably time we have a better measurement” and found out the Balance Board was extremely accurate. Or our scale was awful. Point is, they always gave us the same result. ---
