A year and eighteen weeks of lockdown and 45 weeks home from hospital since discharge after stroke and I have to report a loss of of 1.2 lb over the week. It is a loss, the first for a while and was unexpected as I did not meet exercise goals of 10,000 steps and 5 miles a day. We had the first rain for a while and when not raining it was too hot to do much. Because of this some days I did not manage a calorie deficit of 500 despite avoiding the white carbohydrates and treats: I just did not burn enough calories. If it had not been for FitBit challenges I would have gained weight. These challenges spur me on and motivate me: I thank all that participated with me in these FitBit challenges(goal day, daily challenge, workweek challenge and bingo). If the weather cools down a bit 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 problems causedby 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
