I have an awkward shape which means that I fit comfortably into 38” trousers but appear to have a larger waist. The interesting thing is my weight - I was 86kg several weeks ago and I have managed to maintain the weight without really trying. My drinking increased over the period and I feel bigger. I guess I have just lost muscle mass.

Verdict

I feel a little bloated this evening and I know my weight is up. I need to adjust the  portion sizes. Throughout the day I had some feelings of hunger which I guess is my body missing the carbs. I did not drink enough water. Generally I feel good however. It was interesting to see my personal trainer scoffing battered fish and chips whilst I had grilled fish and salad - who’d have thought we would see that day.
