Lock down kilo’s

As we’ve been going between mild lock down towards a more stricter lockdown and work from home has become the de facto way of working in the Netherlands I’ve seen my weight steadily growing and as I’m already overweight that is not a good trend. I’m aware of it and working from home is not helping at all for several reasons:

  1. There is an abundance of food in the house readily available for grabs
  2. My step count has gone down because my house isn’t as big as a normall office.
  3. I normally work out at the hotel because there’s nothing else to do normally, however at home we’ve got the kids who also expect me around

I feel now is the time to start turning it around and start tackling above and again make loosing weight a priority and bring my BMI down to a more acceptable level. Let’s see how that goes in the coming weeks as lack of food normally makes me very cranky.

Tomorrow I’ll post my current weight and ensure that my concept II is cleaned and ready to go for a workout (or maybe I’ll plan a brisk walk depending on time available). Let’s see how long I’ll be able to keep it up.
