I went to see the GP practice nurse for a check up last week. Blood pressure and pulse OK, weight not. I've had a blood test for cholesterol this week, and am going off for a pneumonia jab this morning. I've taken up doing a daily walk, and have hauled my scales out for a daily use, in the morning, when I'm "empty". Monday and Tuesday, I lost a pound each day! Yesterday with a much longer walk, I didn't, and very odd things appear to have happened to my water, fat and muscle percentages (it's one of those sets of scales that calculate such things). I cannot possibly have lost 2% of my muscle mass!

I vert carefully avoided fatty foods and took a cholesterol reducing drink in the intervening time before the test. The nurse wants me to go to WeightWatchers, but I don't want to. I want to do the reductions myself, using the food I have in store.

Must get up now to go to the surgery.
