Yesterday was the best I’d felt in over a week. Possibly the combination of coming out of Sunday’s hangover, some decent sleep and resetting the macros to get them right.
Sleep’s still a little disjointed with the need to get up every couple of hours still there, but I feel I’m getting good quality sleep between those breaks so it’s a positive change. I made some changes to the evening routine, making sure I shower before dinner, taking a sleep focused magnesium supplement an hour or so before going to bed, giving the PC away an hour before bed, and getting some stretching in as well.
The scales seem to show that we’re back on tracking, weighing in at an equal lowest of 74.2 kg this morning. Fat loss is becoming more and more evident (guess we’re at the back end of the Paper Towel Analogy) with my neck showing muscle tone and some signs of vertebra appearing in my lower back. I wore a sleeveless shirt to pilates on Monday night and was feeling pretty good about arm tone!
I resumed running this afternoon, and in much cooler conditions managed to roll out a bit over 8 km in 40 minutes with the pace increasing as I went. It felt pretty decent, so hopefully I haven’t lost too much ground on my fitness. I finished with a little arm soreness indicating I did manage to dip into fat reserves, so that’s pleasing.
Looking at the graph I’d say we’ve cashed in the week spare for making the February 29. It depends on how the next week or so goes weight-wise, but I am feeling better and more inclined to get some exercise done. I’m in a better place diet-wise, resuming fasting and getting macros right for keto.
