This month has had its ups and downs. I was sick in the first week, then pulled my back in the second. Besides this, I have managed to hold the calorie burn in check. Most issues stem from the data being balanced, still. Protein has been the biggest issue of the four counts. (Reminder: These counts are, PROTEIN, FATS, CARBS and CALORIES.) As the last month saw a huge drop in weight, I decided that I would follow the weekly amounts and display them below. This table shows a week-by-week calorie take, burn and difference.
Calorie Checking Chart:
| Week Number: | Calories Consumed: | Calories Burned: | Difference: |
| One (W/C 20.09.25) | 22,123 | 25,473 | 3,356 Extra |
| Two (W/C 27.09.25) | 21,767 | 23,982 | 2,215 Extra |
| Three (W/C 04.10.25) | 21,320 | 22,387 | 1067 Extra |
| Four (W/C 11.10.25) | 20,363 | 22,736 | 2373 Extra |
If you look at this, you can see that the calories are still outpaced by my exercise. Even when they are watched, you can see why the weight had dropped, so much. I can understand that, for many, data, like this, is not fun to look at, but I hope that it spurs an idea of how to control it, yourselves. The one thing you a rely on is that the data will never lie! Every week shows an extra burn of calories, this is not necessarily good!
I am still undetermined about what to do with my new-found physicality, but I do know one thing, I can get into my fancy slim suit, now, which is EPIC! This month’s weight is at 17st 9lbs (112kg,) that’s a 6lb (2.7kg) loss. This is a manageable amount, if I was larger. At this point, I know that huge losses are detrimental, so again, I must look at options to hold my weight and retain space for muscle.
The back issue made me stop running for a few days, which was very frustrating, but I the rest gave me new purpose and enjoyment for the exercises that I do. If there is any lesson to be had, it’s that, sometimes, a rest is better than just carrying on!
