Day 181, First week of the new year… Happy New Year! -1.7 kg, has anyone else lost weight over Christmas?
It’s ages since I wrote something. I simply haven’t had the time or energy, and I am currently without Internet until week 3. 
You probably think I’ve given up on losing weight, but this is not the case, according to the scales, at least. Another thing which has been and gone is 1.7 kg over Christmas. So what did I do over the holidays. I moved house - we’ve been living with packing cases for a couple of weeks, but are now finally getting things organised. Moving house is hard work, but what a workout! I even remembered to lift correctly, so that the muscles were taking the strain rather than the back. Anything for a bit of an extra work out…
What did you do about Christmas food? I ate everything and too much of it as well, but thanks to the house-move, I wasn’t snoozing on the sofa. Then it started to snow, and playing with the kids would, as I’ve said before, wear out even a top-class athlete. By the way, Charlotte Kalla – congratulations on your Tour de Ski win - you’re GREAT! So now I’m back at work after a really long break… Although I have a super job, I’m having trouble being enthusiastic about it today…
Exercise: my morning walks and keep fit exercises fell completely by the wayside over Christmas. But with the time I spent assembling Ikea furniture, moving boxes and furniture would have made a formal exercise routine superfluous anyway - this Christmas has been my busiest ever.
Result: 33.6 kg
93.8 kg (127.4 kg) Total weight
23.4 kg (42.0 kg) Fat
53.9 kg (44.0 kg) Water
41.1 kg (34.8 kg) Muscle
I couldn’t find a measuring tape, but these are the figures from December. I’ll probably find it in a box somewhere.
97 cm (129 cm) around the waist
64 cm (80 cm) left thigh
65 cm (80 cm) right thigh
36 cm (40 cm) left arm
36 cm (43 cm) right arm
38.5 cm (43 cm) neck
