Weight Gain In Lockdown ..

[eleanor2]

How many of you working or not have put on weight throughout lockdown? Personally, I have. I know thats down to lack of routine, drinking alcohol more regularly ... (because I can! as I dont have to restrict myself as I'm not regulated by time for work being furloughed) Eating more 'treats' I wouldnt normally ect...

[waterboatman]

Tut Tut ;o} As long as you're enjoying yourself,why worry? I'm sure you'll rectify the situation.

A little more drinking yes- a small beer /glass of wine most evenings in the garden when the sun is shining, but foodwise I've had more time to make soups and prepare meals rather than sticking a pastie or lasagne or battered fish in the oven after a busy day at work,
But the main benefit has been exercise- a brisk walk of 1 hour a day has now become two hours a day and I now think nothing of walking 3 miles to the supermarket if we run out of milk even though the car is gathering dust

Yes I've put on 4lbs and I know it's from drinking more tea with sugar and snacking in the day on the days when I'm working from home because it's just there and available unlike when in the office. I've also eaten large 3 tubs of Haagen Dazs that I wouldn't normally, that'll do it.

This morning, Prudie?

[eleanor2]

I know I know waterman, I will get back to normal, once my routine does x ;0)
For those that dont know my routine pre lockdown, its changed 100%. Im normally out to work just after 4.30am, I work part time as a cleaner, so a physical work out everyday. I come home & we have our granddaughter then every day till around 7.30 pm as mum works full time. So its gone from this to the total opposite. Mum is now working from home, we dont pick her up, and my daughter has her after school. Not that Ive not been active at all, Ive grabbed this furlough time to get a lot of jobs done around the home. Every day theres been something to do.

Yes , put a few pounds extra on, wouldn’t normally drink through the week But I’ve been having a couple of glasses of wine sitting in the garden and maybe a Cornetto each day , I’m lucky I don’t have to diet and I’m sure the extra pounds will go when normal service is resumed

[eleanor2]

Hi fiction, when I say drink, not that much at all, but still thats more than normal so adds up doesnt it.
Prudie, exactly, so easy to snack! Im reckoning itll take around a month to get back to pre lockdown weight, Im going on how long it takes to adjust after Christmas break from work.

[eleanor2]

Hi bobbi, yes Ive had one Cinzano a day because I can! Very naughty! Its hard when the suns out and you're not restricted to time.

[Prudie]

Oh Cinzano! My mother used to drink that with lemonade, I didn't realise it still existed.

[Prudie]

Spicey :-) No it's taken me the last 2 weeks to eat three. I find it hard to put down.

[Bobbisox1]

Morning Eleanor, my very first drink was a Cinzano and lemonade , I’m just thankful for such beautiful weather ,it makes being in lockdown bearable , can you Imagine if it was grey and wet? We’d be drinking more to drown our sorrows , haha

[Bobbisox1]

Hi Prudie ( waves)

[eleanor2]

Yes mine too bobbie, all thats missing is the cherry on a cocktail stick! :0)

[Bobbisox1]

It’s a very ‘easy ‘ drink to have in the sunshine

[eleanor2]

It is bobbie, still popular as ever, quite expensive now.

I've lost weight...about half a stone. Partly due to a couple of 30 minute brisk walks a day with Sammi...much different than with my doddery old Sally. And my eating habits have become much more regular...no nibbling but I still indulge in chocolate. I hope it stays off until the late autumn preparation for hibernation ;)

[seanne]

I have lost 12 lbs

[retrocop]

I have lost 4 stone but,admittedly, I started dieting on 6th January. I know a few have put on a bit of weight though.

[tiggerblue10]

I've put on all the weight I lost from the beginning of Jan to mid March. Gutted :o(((

Half price tubs of Ben & Jerrys and Haagen Daz have not helped!!
