So, I feel better, but I still have a slightly annoying cough.  It seems to come and go.  So I set tomorrow as a rest day (calorie-wise) and I’ll see how I feel when I get home.  I suspect I’m going to wimp out and just coast a little this week.  I’d like to feel that my energy levels were back to normal (or even a little higher) as that’s what I expected coming off a maintenance week.

Strangely enough I really wasn’t hungry today even though I’ve effectively dropped my calories by over 1000.  Odd, but I suspect that it will be a day or so before my body realises that it’s getting less food.
