Hope you’re fully recovered from that bug now
Having dinner at 6pm then walking or running a mile at 7pm & then only drinking water seems to be having a positive effect on b/s, might have to carry on after the challenge has ended, just have to see if I’ve got any energy this morning to lift any weights
Sons at Wimbledon again today (to see Rafa) so I’m taking the day off, going to spend the day in the garden
Enjoy your day
 
Well done guys!

Great numbers! I don't think you have anything to worry about at the annual check up.
I like your macros .. mine are actually pretty much the same ~ 220 protein and the rest healthy fats and complex carbs. slightly more fats.
