Success/struggles:
I was away on holiday for 3 weeks in September, so the average for that month is based on 3 days at about 48 kg and 3 days at 50 kg after getting home. The 50 kg obviously included retained fluids etc after the flight home and since then I’ve dropped back to about 49kg. Which means I only gained about 1 kg over the holiday – success! I was very active on holiday – cycling and swimming – and I did try to remember some basic guidelines and restrict desserts, cakes etc. So I’m happy with where I am now and I enjoyed the holiday in the sun.

Successes of the week:
Still running: today is my ‘race day’, so time to pick a new goal!

It’s been 11 months since I woke up and decided enough was enough (10 Nov, at 164.6lb), so to maintain at lower than my original goal is a dream come true, quite frankly. Loving every minute of life.

Happy Scale has reluctantly provided a trend this week (and for last week), but refuses any projections with a cheerful “Check back soon!” message: I have put a couple of screenshots of Happy Scale and Apple Health in the spoiler below for anyone interested in seeing the fluctuations over the 11 months and averages over the last 6 months.

Struggles of the week:
None!
