5. Week 2 stats

The results are in! Second week:

Weight: 90.90 kg (lost 1.35 kg (3 pounds))

BMI: 25.2 (Better)

Body fat: 18.9% (About the same)

Visceral Fat: 8 (Same but normal)

BP: 122/88 (massively better but still a little raised!). I’ve taken 19/9 off my last week’s figure.

Waist Circumference: 95.5cm (normal)

Neck circumference: 43cm (no change)

Resting Pulse: 56 (was 60)

Wowzers. That’s a great improvement. My blood pressure is so much better! I did take it every day for the last week following my figures from last week and it was consistently raised so I don’t doubt the accuracy of the machine. I’ve also checked the machine with another one for accuracy too.

I’m always amazed at the impact lifestyle change can have on the body in a short period of time. In one week I (not medication) have drastically improved my BP and undoubtedly drastically cut my risk of associated heart or stroke problems. It’s a great motivator to continuing to follow lifestyle change.

It’s worth clarifying that - this week - I am not just looking at how sleep has caused these figures to change. I’m implementing all of the 6 pillars I overviewed in my first blog and which I’m going to elaborate on as the blog progresses.

One major change that I have been particularly looking last week is increasing my physical activity which will be the subject of my next blog later this week…and it hasn’t been as hard as it sounds…
