A disappointing week this week, although it's not really that bad!
As you can see from the graph, I've gone down from 17.7 to 17.4, roughly three lbs. This is disapointing in terms of my recent progress, but pretty good when you consider that most diets aim for about a pound a week. I think I was pretty bad with my water intake this week, and this diet necessitates a regular intake of liquid in which to disolve the sugars from the fats.
The other thing that happened this week was that we checked my blood pressure. Normally on this diet, it would go down. Unfortunately, mine has gone up.
When I started, my blood pressure was 132/72. Now it's 151/85, which is quite a substantial rise. The first figure, the systolic pressure (which is the pressure away from the heart as it beats, is over the top of what's considered healthy of 140. Hmmm. Not good. Better is the fact that my heart rate is now 64 bmp. down from 86 bmp. I need to keep an eye on this.
