Weighing In

Can you believe it, I forgot to weigh myself this morning, I'll have to do it tomorrow morning. Hopefully the extra day will mean an extra chance of having lost weight.
I noticed earlier in the week that my resting heart rate had dropped. I stopped monitoring it a couple of months ago as I didn't see it changing but when my friend showed me his stats for the week I saw his resting heart rate was 69 BPM, I checked mine out of curiosity and it is currently around 66 BPM, that is down from where I started at the start of the year.

• Jan 73 BPM
• Feb 71 BPM
• Mar 70 BPM
• Apr 72 BPM
• May 71 BPM
• June 70 BPM
• July 69 BPM
• Aug 68 BPM
• Sept 72 BPM
• Oct 66 BPM

I find that interesting as the change in diet and the little bit of exercise is obviously helping in that area of my health too. Fitbit claim that my cardio score is between 36 and 40 which is between average and good for men my age. To try and put it in perspective, scores less than 30 are poor and greater than 50 are excellent. Elite athletes are up in the high 70s and low 80s. I'm going to keep an eye on my resting heart rate and my cardio score and see if they do improve further as I do more exercise and lose more weight.
