While I’m not up and about all day like I am when in work, I’ve only been eating one main healthy meal/feast each day (around mid-afternoon). With a banana and coffee for breakfast, and some nuts and berries early evening.
Drinking lots of water.
I’ve been alternating days of work and exercise days, trying to do different exercise sessions each time.
I have a one-speed road bike which is very difficult to ride uphill, which is what I wanted from it so it’s a proper workout. Depending on how hill-y the ride I get through between 7 and 20 miles in the cycle sessions.
Being a decent skipper I bought a skipping rope and do the odd skip session.
I have resistance bands and been doing body weight and band sessions in the flat. Either full body, or lower body one session and upper body another session. Although I’ve found it hard finding something to do pull-ups on because I’m proper heavy, managed to open the loft hatch and do it there but there’s not much to grip onto.
Also been for 4-6 mile walks.
And from tomorrow I’m going to add a basketball session in the park now they’re open again.
I don’t have any scales so don’t know how much I’ve lost but my clothes are much looser on me. I was once an 18 stone PT working out every day but went off the rails and at my unhealthy heaviest in about 2014 I weighed 21 ½ stone. Before lockdown I was 20st 2lbs but pretty healthy with that, not noticeably fat, maybe a bit round the torso.
But I look in decent shape now. Selfishly, this lockdown has done me the world of good!
