Week 25 of the lockdown and 5 weeks home from hospital since discharge after stroke and I’m glad to report that my weight over the psast week has not changed by much – I record a small gain (half a pound which I suppose is disappointing after the weight losses of the previous 2 weeks. So why the gain? I have been keeping my calorie intake lower than energy expenditure but on 2 days was unable to achieve a deficit of of 500 calories when comparing intake with expenditure. The main reason for this is that I have not been so active in the previous 2 weeks I was recording an average of 5,000 steps a day whilst last week it was onlyjust over 2,100 steps per day I blame this on the weather which was not conducive for walking. In terms of diet I have been keeping to my normal low white carbohydrate diet with plenty of vegetables and berries and avoidingthe temptation of potatoes and cereals. If I can keep this up and be more active in the coming week I hope to record a weight loss. I should be able to: that is my goal for the week
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, the easing of it and the second wave of the virus is not having too much of a detrimental effect on your scales. Keep positive and safe.f
