I weighed in at 89.8kg yesterday morning so a marginal loss similar to the week before but it’s nice to be under 90kg. I think after the initial water drop my weight has struggled to come down because of the increase of muscle. I can definitely feel and see my upper body and legs are stronger/bigger with the increase in exercise. It was also my birthday midweek so that blew the calorie counting out of the water. I did run my fastest 5km in a long time on Sunday though.
This week started poorly with a Papa Johns last night. My wife suggested it and I folded like a lawn chair. But hey it gives me something to burn off this week. Lane swimming tonight and Thursday hopefully, with intermittent running throughout.
I’m also reading ‘Fat Chance’ by Dr. Robert Lustig. It’s a good read and goes into a lot of detail about exactly how the body puts on and loses weight. It’s nearly a decade old now so a little dated and very much centred around the US medical system but it’s still an interesting book.
