Day Two Post-Illness Recovery, and Why You Can Never Trust The Weighing Scales.

Today's calories were;
373 calories for breakfast (muesli, milk, and a banana),
280 calories for lunch (Lunchbox full of salad with a very small amount of sundried tomatoes in oil, gherkins and two boiled eggs)
330 calories for dinner (Granola Square - I was not at home, so no main meal)
813 calories for snacks (Peach, Apple, Orange, Banana, 4 Malted Milk Biscuits, Multigrain Breakfast Bar, and a Naked Pecan Pie Bar)
Total is 1798 calories.  I allow for 1840 calories, plus I earned 138 calories from the 7000 steps I did today - net deficit is 182 calories for the day.

Last night I weighed myself, and in the space of two days I had lost 2.25 lbs, which makes me think the 4.5lbs increase I mentioned in yesterday's blog was probably higher than reality.  I will continue to weigh myself each day to check how it changes over time.

I had an awful night's sleep - it was too warm, and I kept drifting in and out of sleep, so the optional short run this morning was sacrificed to get an extra hour's kip - tomorrow, I will be getting up to hopefully do six to eight miles.

From Tomorrow's blog through to the big day, the blogs will have a 21 days to go countdown style heading.
