After any large daily drop I always try extremely hard to reduce any bounce back by going for a large deficit the next day. Yesterday I worked in the garden demolishing a large wood store and general tidying - That gave me 10000 steps. Then after that I managed a 8.5 mile walk after dinner when it was cooler - It gave me my largest daily deficit yet of 1400 calories. Todays gain of 100g is a 16% bounce back - just acceptable. I can now see that larger deficits will be possible in the near future for me as my fitness improves. These large deficits will be especially targeted to completely eliminate that annoying bounce back.


My carefully weighed portion sizes they do look small whilst I could easily eat them three times at a sitting, that said I am really not suffering too much from hunger pangs. Below images ,this mornings breakfast (The milk comes from the farm next to us) and yesterdays evening meal (veg from the garden). Isn't the square format image thing annoying - I just keep forgetting to factor that in.


I plan another decent walk tonight - At the moment I feel that I need 24 hours between eight miles walks to keep away muscle soreness. When I can get that down to 12 hours between walks I will be much happier.

Today I have a large woodpile to tidy up. Good luck to all.
