3/4 gym workouts and 6 long walks.

Fantastic Rupert!

I'm going to say 5/4 for the week, my usual 4 in the gym plus one hour jumping on trampolines with kids.

3/3 Weight training this week.

Back down to 173 this morning. Hit 180+ (mostly water weight) after entertaining/boarding visitors from China last week who hadn't acclimated to US food. Resulting meals were heavy on carbs & soy sauce.

>China

So, I went to a traditional Chinese New Year dinner over the weekend and I tried my best to eat on target.  I actually had NO RICE and No Noodles, not at all easy to do with Chinese food.  I stuck to meat and vegetable dishes, but I did eat some Peking duck, which I think must have some sugar in it.  Anyway, the next day I weighed three pounds more than the day before.  It is nearly impossible to eat low carb Chinese.

Salty foods retaining water? Couldn't be actual fat/muscle mass, right?

No, it is definitely water weight.  I am sure it is a combination of salt and glycogen uptake.

>impossible to eat low carb Chinese

I've tried. Gained 3 lbs every time.  Being mostly water weight, it drops in a couple of days back on the diet.

1/4 last week, caught a nasty cold virus. Breathing well for the first time in about a week today.

Drastic, commiserations.  lots of that about in the UK too

Quoteplus one hour jumping on trampolines with kids.

That's like dancing to Queen all night

Trampoline jumping is surprisingly energy demanding, but it is also a lot of fun.  I was definitely being a kid again for a while.

My tracker app says 6 sessions or at least 30 minutes. I went self-powered skiing four days in a row this week. I haven't done that it in quite a while!

4/4
