Day 82, Monday March 23, 10pm: Yesterday, for the first time this year, I was not overweight. Today I am again. It's a vague science, this calorie counting.
Yes, yesterday, for 24 very short hours, I was - just, and with a little poetic licence - within my recommended weight range.
Actually, probably, to be honest, quite a lot of poetic licence.
First I had to make the decision that that I am, in fact, 5ft 9ins (I'm probably 5ft 8 1/2 ins, but if I learnt to stand up properly...). Then I decided that I'm of large rather than medium build. In which case 79.4kg (12st 5lbs) is the maxium acceptable. I came in at 78.9! Hurrah!
(If I had admitted to being 5ft 8 ins and a medium build my maximum would have been 70.3kg but I'll let that pass).
Actually, it gets even better. Reading a little further in my Reader's Digest "Eat Better Live Better" bible I discovered: "Because muscle weighs more than fat, it is possible for a muscular athlete who has very little body fat to be above his maximum desired weight".
Perfect. Henceforth I am a 5ft 9ins, large build muscular athlete with very little body fat and I spit in the face of those daring to contradict me.
