Arresting my weight loss

According to the NHS' height/weight chart I was well into the obese category when I joined the gym in Perth and started to fast and swim. I am now in the healthy weight category so I shall shift toward arresting my weight loss such that it approaches a healthful endpoint. While one might want to take precise divisions within BMI-based indices as nothing more but loose guidance, in my case I think it to be sufficient basis on which to make decisions.

I would have thought that this achievement might have caused me to crack a smile. I am abstractly pleased but I definitely need to look at my mood, whether the issue is some extrinsic stressor or something rather more internal.

I shall continue with the cross-trainer as I am now: being my only frequent non-sedentary activity, that is more about not being dangerously unfit. I probably get enough exercise to try increasing my average weekly calorie consumption from around 12k to more like 15k so I will see how that goes. Still, if getting early nights doesn't make it easy enough for me to get out of bed and into the garage on dark frosty mornings then in the New Year I may instead look into exercising after I return home from work.
