A year and sixteen weeks of lockdown and 43 weeks home from hospital since discharge after stroke and I have to report a gain of 0.2 lb over the week. It is almost a standstill but gain could have been more since most days I did not manage a calorie deficit and my input exceeded expenditure. This was due to the inclusion of new potatoes in most evening meals. They are so good and I seem to be addicted to them. The weather was good and with FitBit challenges and my competitive nature I easily achieved daily goals of 10,000 steps and 5 miles. Thanks to all who participated with me in these FitBit challenges(goal day, daily challenge and bingo). If the weather stays dry in the coming week and I can get work done in the allotments 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 posed by the new peak in COVID cases and the threat posed by new COVID variants, especially when mitigation measures are being relaxed, is not having too much of a detrimental effect on your scales. Keep positive and safe
