One thing I picked up today that I thought might be useful to you. The nutrition chap said to ensure we are fuelled all the time, which I know you know. But he also said that when you work hard and fast you burn the glycogen but if you work at a steadier pace for longer, your body learns to burn fat. I wondered if you were working too hard and burning your glycogen rather than fat which is why your weight isn't going down?
Ideally you need to be burning glycogen and fat.
Hope that makes sense!

Morning all! We've been away on holiday for a week and yesterday was my birthday and we had a brilliant day at Thorpe Park. Checked in with the scales this morning and the damage is 1lb! I'm very pleased with that as I've had a great week and birthday and expected more. Today we are going to the Forest of Dean for a bike ride and a bbq. I have another week off so I should be able to shift that lb and hopefully some more by Friday.
We spent last week in a lodge, which is like a caravan made of wood, on a site in the middle of woodland. The site had a leisure club which had a nice pool with jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. During the week I swam 100 lengths of the 18m pool and did 3 aquafit classes. We also took the bikes to a local forest which has set routes. But the routes were hilly and on dodgy terrain and with the heat made it hard going! Mr Taz didn't cope so well with the heat and the hills so we only did the short route which was 3.6 miles.
When I finished work before the holiday I threw all my uniform away. I have a complete set of smaller uniform in my wardrobe and the trousers are a snug fit so gaining any weight before returning to work could be a little disasterous! But I am quite confident that my uniform will fit me
