Weighing In

106.5kg
Ok, now I'm confused. As suspected, I've obviously been doing something wrong or I don't understand what's going on. 
As I said on Monday, I took the week off. I was expecting to to have put on weight as I wasn't trying at all and I wasn't caring about it. I wanted to give my head a break from thinking about it all the time and worrying about what I was eating. I think that this weeks weigh in kind of proves that my metabolism is doing things and/or I've put on a little bit of extra muscle from the extra walking I was doing. This actually gives me hope for working out with some dumbbells a few times each week.
I've done some more thinking and what I'm going to try is weights on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. On those days I won't walk after work. On Monday and Wednesday afternoons I'll go for a walk as long as it's not raining and Friday I may go for a walk depending on how many steps I've done by the time I get home from work and also how much I've managed to get in during the week. I often mow the lawn on Friday afternoons at this time of year so that adds to the steps and exercise a little. I still want to try and get 70k steps each week, so the walks on Monday and Wednesday will probably be around an hour each to make sure I'm putting enough steps in the bank. Saturdays can be a bit of a write off with seeing my Dad for lunch and the kids swimming lessons so I'm going to make them my official day off (which is something else that I read I should be doing anyway).
