Have you put on weight since moving to Cambodia? Has retirement to the KOW seen your spare tyre go from fitting a lean sporty sedan to now being able to support earthmoving equipment? Or Is your body a temple wherever you roam and your BMI mostly always in the green zone?

I guess we could also How often do you eat out, exercise, go to the gym,..?

I put on about an extra 13 or 15 kgs during Covid period, not in Cambodia, but at the camp I was staying on in Iraq. My clients segregated me into a fenced off quarantine zone until October last year! No gym access, no running track access, no dining facility access, all meals (which were absolute shite) delivered in a polystyrene box...their reason being that I was out on the ground interacting with the local population on a daily basis, whereas all the clients (extremely risk averse, well known US Oil & Gas company) remained in their "safe space" to avoid the risk of contracting the virus.

I knew I'd put some weight on, but it wasn't really until I saw some pics my wife took of me and the kids at the water park a few months back that I realised I had become a fat bastard and seriously needed to get back in shape, managed to lose 8kg in 5 weeks during my last rotation in the sandpit, still not where I need to be weight wise, but working on it.

P.S. all the beer I drink when I'm back home in Cambodia probably doesn't help

I've lost a considerable amount of weight since I've come to Cambodia. I used to be chubby, now I'm almost in abs-form, and I think a lot of it is down to the smaller quantities we tend to eat in this country, the farm-fresh quality of ingredients, and the fact that I tend to walk to town, which a lot of Khmer people think is silly or weird but then I enjoy morning walk into Krong Siem Reap.

I feel like it's easy to fall into a sedentary pattern while living here, but it's also very easy to use a lot of energy in the daily routine, whether it's using an អង្រែ or carrying stuff on the walk home, but I still want to cut down even more and get a lower bf%.

I initially put on a lot of weight when I left Cambodia which I put down to no longer getting the shits on a semi regular basis. I ended up buying a treadmill which I use during certain work meetings (the ones where i have to be present but dont need to contribute much) and doing sets of push-ups throughout the day. Best shape I've ever been in.

only there in summers but when in Cambodia I lose weight. It's too hot to eat lol
