Sleep info based on Oura Ring / Whoop

Time in bed - 20:02 to 08:16 (12:14)

Body Weight - 187.4lbs (up 1.4lbs - binged yesterday)

24 December target 7 day average weight is 186.77lbs, this figure was calculated from the 7 day average recorded on 01 December of 188.66 less the targetted 1% per month weight loss.

So ~1lb (0.5%) weight loss which is short of the target set but December isn’t the best month to diet is it, will do my best over the festive period to minimise binge eating and diet will start again in the new year.
