Thanks Bob, good nutrition is my first priority.

Average intake was a fair bit higher this week, partly b/c of the two boxes of yummy mangoes which my wife bought at a frugal price, so just had to help her eat ‘em, lol

...they slide down real well on a hot day...

Had closed my food account Tuesday evening at 2369.8 calories with macros% @ 33.5/33.5/33.0 when family turned up with surprise birthday celebrations for my wife... blowing it out to over 3000 cals, from a rough guestimate of the ingredients of the delicious heart shaped cakes baked by our grandkids and their mom.. on a beautifully decorated plate saying ‘Happy Birthday Grandma’ ...which was very special.

A few high cal/high carb meals are nor biggie in the big scheme of things, but after some very hot days (it’s not summer yet) starting Tuesday @ with 40C, then mid 30’s for the rest of the week, along with a big-time comfort food pig-out Thursday on these Blueberry flavoured corn flakes (never again), somehow made for a sluggish feeling... called severe carbitis , what chemical flavourings do they put in that stuff?... woke feeling lousy Friday morning.

Training consequently slid right off track last week which didn’t help at all. However, despite Tuesday’s heat I got in a couple of decent walks doing full length of two air conditioned shopping centres I went to for shopping... also got in some walks on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning which saved the day/week.

This past week only serves to reinforce past experience of how my body responds to the combination of both regulated eating and training. After tightening up diet and a solid workout yesterday (Saturday), and a good sleep... including a decent steak dinner last night, weight this morning dropped 0.6 to 84.4kg with a much different feeling in my body.

Trying to have a lighter easy-to-digest day today, cutting back this morning on my usual breakfast while adding some eggs (1 whole, 3 whites)... and just had a double Bomber Blend with extra goodies like organic raw cocoa (Criollo), maca powder, brewers yeast, slippery elm bark powder, FC Jalna yogurt, along with cottage cheese, walnuts and green tea for lunch.

Life’s busy but today starts a new week.

Was intending to just post the bare data without any comment, but there ya go.
