I wasn't expecting this.....

I believe that it's normal to lose most weight on the first week of any diet, but 2.6kg (6lb)??!!

I used the same machine in the gym, so it's not a calibration error, I hope! Should become clearer as I do more weigh-ins over the coming weeks.

To be fair, I did have a very austere week, apart from one significant cheat day at the Hudson's for Adrian's 40th birthday drinks. I can live happily on one cheat day a week !

What's also interesting is that 2.7kg of the 2.6kg I've lost is fat :)

This means that I must have put on 100g of muscle during the week. This is a testament to the extensive weight training I've been doing to supplement the diet (not!)

Actually I might try and up the weight work in the gym to see if I can make more of an impact in this area. Helps with the toning!

Anyway, it's a Saturday morning as a write this, so soon I'll be off to the Glasgow Parkrun with daughters Clare and Scarlett, and granddaughter Lily. That's always good fun. I'm also planning a bespoke half marathon run around Cumbrae tomorrow. I might even have some support cyclists with me for some of the way round :)

Bye for now....
