Weekly weigh in - Friday 02 January 2015

186.2lbs / 84.46kgs - up 2.7lb / 1.22kg (Christmas excess, was up at 190 on 27th)

Average nett calorie intake 3903 (3903 gross before any cardio exercise) carbs @ 44%, protein @ 27% and fats @ 29%

Seems odd that daily intake was similar as previous weeks but weight increase was significant compared to previous weeks must be the type of food eaten over Christmas, no doubt will settle back down now that festivities are over.
