6.3 this morning at 07:45

Keto porridge for breakfast with some added chia seeds, salad with some chicken pakora for lunch, then beef stew, turnip and various green veg for dinner.

Various coffee's & teas during the data including a couple of almond milk latte's, as I'm varying from my usual soya milk to also include almond milk.

I only did a 4km walk with the dog at lunchtime as he'd been out with the dog-walker in the morning and I was also looking after my daughters 10 month old Labrador puppy for the evening as she was going out to dinner with her husband as it was his birthday. The combination of all that activity took him way over his daily 20,000 steps target.
