The reboot finished on Wednesday night, and despite a brief stall when I had a run of 5am starts and didn’t get nearly enough sleep (between 4.5 and 6 hrs), 
as well as not drinking enough water those days (too busy, so never took the time to fill my bottle for the desk), after I finally realised what was stopping it and made arrangements, and guzzled extra water to counteract it, I finally headed a little further downwards just before the 10 days wound up.
As expected, I rebounded a little the day after, when I had food in the system again. Not as bad as I thought, with 0.7kg, so I figured it might go up a bit further on the second day – after all, we’re supposed to take 48hrs to process stuff. I did kick off the exercise sessions again, with a morning bash at ‘Just Dance’ on the Wii Fit, and another one in the evening. Surprise, surprise, day 2 post-reboot I actually went down again. Not by much, only 0.2kg, but still it puts me in reach of hitting my lowest point on the reboot – while still with food in my system!
So, the final details:
| Starting weight | 143.4kg (316.1lb) |
| after Day 1 | 142.8kg (314.8lb) |
| Felt cold. Very cold. wanted gloves. | |
| Day 2 | 141.8kg (312.6lb) |
| Cold/sniffles + cleaning binge. Tired, lethargic in am. | |
| Day 3 | 140.7kg (310.2lb) |
| Sniffles cleared – needed high energy for work. Had it. | |
| Day 4 | 139.7kg (307.9lb) |
| Energy levels stayed high. Workout a lot easier. Craving specific juices | |
| Day 5 | 139.3kg (307.3lb) |
| Good, deep night’s sleep. Feeling really good. | |
| Day 6 | 138.8kg (306.0lb) |
| Lowest I’ve been in over a decade! Got so enthusiastic I threw in a heavy exercise session in the evening. | |
| Day 7 | 139.1kg (306.7lb) |
| Early start, didn’t quite get 6hrs, was a bit dazed at work. Thirsty thanks to last night’s session. | |
| Day 8 | 139.2kg (306.9lb) |
| Only 4.5hrs sleep, so was pretty wrecked. Busy + tired + thirsty. | |
| Day 9 | 139.4kg (307.3lb) |
| 5.5hrs. So tired I hadn’t even juiced last night. Thirsty, but too busy to fill water bottle. Realised it might be behind weight gain, so guzzled extra water when I got home. Arranged colleague to cover early morning. | |
| Day 10 | 138.7kg (305.8lb) |
| Extra sleep & water finally turned things around. Dropped to lowest level yet. Woo hoo! | |
| Total loss | 4.7kg (10.3lb) |
| Post reboot Day 1 | 139.4kg (307.3lb) |
| Expected with food weight back in my system. Did light exercise session in am and pm to counter. | |
| Post reboot Day 2 | 139.2kg (306.9lb) |
| Full night’s sleep, finally got bedframe back (was being replaced under warranty). Airbed packed away. Surprised to see another drop this soon. | |
I have a function coming up on the 2nd March I want to be eating for, but I figure I can fit another 3 day or 5 day in before then, possibly starting Thursday 23. I’m excited to see if I can get myself down under 135kg this month.
