Update - My diet is still going well - I have now lost 10.5 Kg in 2 months. I have been walking a bit for exercise - 80 miles last week on Hols. Feeling fitter than I have for years. My resting heat rate is 55 always been low. BP is now 110/70. Which is significantly better than it has been.

That is impressive. It normally takes a trip to A&E for me to loose 10 kg. 
Thatās amazing. Well done. The best bit is hearing how youāre feeling fitter.
Well done! Feels great when you notice a difference in yourself.
I bought a Manta Ray a while ago: https://www.gymratz.co.uk/mantaray-squat
Tried it out tonight to get some blood flowing through my legs. A more upright squat compared to normal, for me, but felt good and comfortable. Good product.
Okay RHR back to 47bpm.
You and Nam are setting the bar pretty high here.
A lot of its genetics so donāt be put off. With intensive exercise you can drop your rate by about 10.

Well it is what it is. I tried to measure mine today but app doesnāt work and no space on phone to download so will need to delete stuff but even then itās probably too old.
Ugh, dragged out by wifey for pre- breakfast swim. 66 lengths / 1 mile. Left her still going as she likes to do 2 miles.

I was beginning to wonder about mine as it was 76 6 months ago and with exercise the best Iāve managed to get it down to is 70 ( CV three times a week for 1.5 hours) ā¦I guess i have a high rate, ā¦
Last two years, when I was fit but probably overdoing it (taking a blunt force approach ti getting fitter) and not resting enough, interestingly my resting heart rate was usually low on waking but tended to be >60 when I checked it during the day. Seems to be lower throughout the day now. Usually ~55. Seems much more consistent now. Presume thatās a good thing but wouldnāt pretend to know what it means 
Iām not quite as fast as I was this time last year but almost, and in many ways I feel fitter- more endurance perhaps? I donāt feel the need to eat as much, or feel like Iām flagging towards the end. Plus, recovery is much better and although i might feel a bit fatigued the day after a big ride it doesnāt affect mental focus and i feel great the following day.
I slept in for the club ride on Sunday but happened to meet them on the way our of town. Wasnāt sure if I was up to the main ride yet bit took a few good turns at the front, a couple of good sprints (including going from 0 to 32.5 mph in <30 secs 
) and after the cafe I continued on for the longer, hillier ride Iād planned to do myself and averaged >17mph over the 83 miles. I could feel it a bit in my legs the day after but pretty much recovered now.

Not done push ups since Friday and Iām away on holiday so not finding the motivation to
HR is 50 just now. I have been post lunch relaxing with book and headphones for 45 mins or so
After holiday Iām going to make a concerted effort to drop 3-4kg before mid-June. I may manage to put a kilo on over 4 days at this rate

Thereās going to be nothing left!
Donāt they have any slides at this pool?
Nah, no wave machine either.
Dropped in for 76 lengths this evening before being chucked out by the swimming club.
