Despite limited mobility in the last 2 weeks I have still lost over 6lbs. I’m not entirely sure how, my diet hasn’t been any more disciplined (nor any worse mind you), and my calorie burn is well down on before. Maybe I have simply turned my body into a calorie burning machine over summer, and the furnace has continued to blast even whilst the outer vessel has slowed. Well, one can hope!
Besides the shaved head I am now looking more like my old self. Importantly, I am about to see the back of being over 15 stone. This is psychologically and physiologically significant because I begin to look and feel pretty good once I’m “in the 14s.” Being north or south of 15 stone is the difference between me looking overweight or a normal and healthy. At 13 stone I look like (and typically am) an athlete so that’s the target and destination.
