We begin this month with my weight. It has fallen, slightly, to 16st 9lbs (105.8kg.) This is not bad, with my body feeling strong with muscle, but thin on anything else. I decided to try the other scales, again, today. They still claim that I am obese; let that be a lesson to all about following your own path! With Vyvyan being out of the picture for the last couple of weeks, I have been on foot, approximately 33% more. This has made a huge difference to my leg strength, making the leg press feel far more comfortable.

Looking at the inadequate data, above, you can see that I am still not keeping up with the calories. The data totals are based on the four-weeks, not the five, for obvious reasons (see below.) Even with the four, there is still significant extra burn, with the first week be atrocious!
Extra: Watch yourself!
As you can see from the table, the final week turned out to be quite the kerfuffle. On the Monday of week five, my watch packed-up in the pool. It stalls and decided it would not switch on, again. Upon recharging it, it just grew hotter and hotter. This wasn’t safe, so I have had to get another one. It’s another used watch, but it will serve its purpose. It is only without this technology that I realise how important it has become in my fitness goals. Before, a smart watch was all about it helping you day-to-day, and not really being much more than a ‘fancy’ time-piece. Now, it controls all of my data and is at its heart, a true data-logger! So, as I await the new watch, I have a naked wrist. It feels quite odd and I feel like I am disconnected from my purpose. Let’s see how that goes. Well, that’s it for this month. Let’s see what March brings as it is time to sort out my event schedule…not scared, at all…
Extra, Extra: As of 18th, I had a new watch. I bought an iWatch Ultra, this was a big purchase, even though it is a used one. Thing is…they sent me an Ultra 2, so I got watch face that is unto £150 more to buy…used!!! It also came with a diver’s strap…these are £99, new. razy money!
