A year and twenty weeks of lockdown and 47 weeks home from hospital since discharge after stroke and I have to report a gain of one pound over the week. It is amazing it is only a pound as it’s rained most of the week and I did not meet exercise goals h of 10,000 steps and 5 miles a day, as can be clearly seen from results of FitBit Workweek hustle. The only thing that has liked the rain is my container plants that haven’t needed me to water them. As a result of decreased activity I did not manage a calorie deficit of 500 most daysdespite avoiding the white carbohydrates and treats: I just did not burn enough calories. If had not been for FitBit challenges I would have gained more weight. These spurn 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 is drier 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 caused 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.
As an aside it’s a year today I had my stroke and in that year there has been little change in my weight. Today I’m actually 2.2 pounds lighter than I was a year ago. (See extra photo for details of weight a year ago and today)
