Week 13 of the lockdown and I am pleased to say I achieved the goal I set last week: standstill. This is despite having given in to temptation three times last week and had allotment new potatoes as a component of my evening meal!! I just can’t resist them! The allotments are now providing a good selection of vegetable with courgettes, peas and strawberries now being harvested in addition to the beet, spinach, onions, mixed greens, kale and herbs. I’ll not mention potatoes, but there’s plenty of them now!

Exercise is still limited to weeding, hoeing and harvesting in the garden and allotments which is light in terms of energy expenditure and does not burn off the calories so I will have to do my best to resist those potatoes, sweet treats and empty calories if I want to record a small loss or maintain standstill: my goal for the coming week. If the weather holds and I can avoid the white carbohydrates and empty calories I should be able to achieve it.
I hope you all have had a good week and that you are keeping safe and fit in these uncertain times. I also hope that the lockdown is not having too much of a detrimental effect on your scales. Keep positive and safe.
