    I'm now bracing myself for getting on the scales again and will report back on how many of those representative purple fellas will be needed.
    This morning I bravely stepped on the scales.  
    My BMI is now 22.4 compared with 21.4 at the beginning of the year.

    Since the first week (when I lost 1 lb) I've gained 7 lb (ie plus 6 lb compared with 1 January).
    So, @Brambling , I think that means 
       General_Grant -6/7   1 halo / 7 purple fellas

    However, keeping a track of the calories as I go along led to my consuming about 1896 yesterday and I should come in under that figure today.  I'll try to report in weekly for the rest of the month.

    Very reluctant to step on the scales this morning! I've spent this week exhausted due to waking up in the middle of the night and struggling to get back to sleep. So I've been eating more and not had much energy to go walking. Even though the weather has been amazing! I've done something to my wrist as well, so no yoga.

    So I was pleasently surprised to have only put on 1lb

    Hoping to catch up on sleep and recover some energy over the weekend. 

    Hope you all have an amazing week!
