A year and seven weeks of lockdown and 34weeks home from hospital since discharge after stroke and I have to report a gain of 0.5 lbover the week. It could have been more and today’s weight is 1.4 lb higher than last Sunday’s. I managed a calorie deficit of more than 500 calories each day but the weather was awful with below normal temperatures, rain and wind. This limited outdoor activity to going up to plots twice a day to put on and take off tomato plant frost protection in the polytunnel. If it had not been for FitBit challenges and my competitive nature there is no way that I would have achieve daily goals of 10,000!steps and 5 miles. Thanks to all who participated with in these FitBit challenges(goal day, daily challenge and bingo). I still have the problem of too many white carbs in my meals that I find difficult to resist.Also easing of lockdown restrictions led to more treats:, cream cake at Riverrside Cottage and Millionaires’ shortbread at Dobbies. If the weather improves in the coming week and I can get work done in the allotment and can resist treats and white carbs I should be able to record a small loss or standstill at worst in the coming week and that is my goal.
I hope you all have had a good week and that you are all keeping safe and fit in these uncertain times. I hope the easing of the lockdown restrictions, the possible problems with the Oxford Zeneca vaccine and the threat posed by new COVID variants, especially when fans of a certain Glasgow football team ignore all guidance relating to behaviour and social distancingiis is not having too much of a detrimental effect on your scales. Keep positive and safe
