It really feels like time is running away from me. 3 children and parents in full-time work is supposed to be the model family, but I simply can’t understand how you’re supposed to find enough time. Finally, everyone is back to full health and looking forward to a week without illness, but we’ll have to see what happens. My poor leg isn’t doing too well. The stitches caused an infection and once a cupful of pus had been squeezed out, I ended up with a taped wound instead of stitches. The nurse said that wounds on the shin take ages to heal - sigh, give me a break, please!
Short working week and everyone stays healthy. Alone at home with the kids while Pia is on a trip to the Baltic island of Gotland. Emma played football last Saturday, and we had grilled hamburgers in the evening. To my great delight, Max has started selling its hamburger buns in the shops, at Willy’s, in fact. But where are the GI buns, which are much tastier?
Exercise - Mostly limping around but walks on Monday-Wednesday. 1 x workout. Then left alone at home with the children = great exercise!
Meals have been a bit weird. The penicillin has left me very tired, and the scales have gone crazy! Almost 100 kg… 
I swore I would never again weigh 100 kg… I feel so annoyed since I don’t feel that I’ve been sloppy with my diet, but the weight diagram isn’t pointing in the right direction. Boo-hoo, what am I to do now?
Result: 28 kg
99.4 kg (127.4 kg) Total weight
- (42.0 kg) Fat (the scales are refusing to give these values. :()
- (44.0 kg) Water
- (34.8 kg) Muscle

All these illnesses are taking it out of me. It feels like I’ve hardly been to work in April. Now my wife, oldest daughter Emma and our youngest, Tilda, are feeling lousy too. For a while there, we were contemplating taking Tilda to hospital, since she couldn’t even keep down water. Feeding a one-year old daughter water by the teaspoonful isn’t exactly one of life’s highlights. To cap it all, I was helping a lady friend to move house, fell of a stool and broke the skin on my leg so badly that it required 6 stitches, penicillin and an anti-tetanus jab. I really should just have stayed in bed the whole week.
Exercise - I’ve been such a victim of bad luck that I’ve hardly exercised at all this week. It wasn’t really the leg that was causing the problem, but my right arm which went completely numb from the anti-tetanus jab! 1 x workout. Walks, well sort of, with a gammy leg!
I’ve continued to eat ordinary, everyday home cooking, but without second helpings.
Result: 30.3 kg
97.1 kg (127.4 kg) Total weight
26.0 kg (42.0 kg) Fat
52.9 kg (44.0 kg) Water
40.2 kg (34.8 kg) Muscle
