The question I was wondering about a bit over a year ago was, “Would I eat less if my walking was reduced?” I had hoped the answer would be yes of course, because that would be the best answer. However,at best it was a hypothetical musing. Back then I didn’t anticipate finding out the answer any time soon.
Now I know. It is yes. The answer is yes!
This next bit is **NOT** recommended as a weight loss strategy… eating less because of going into hospital after fracturing ankle bones (and I do mean the plural, bones) resulting in six weeks of enforced bed rest is a huge no no…
I am so pleased to report that at least some of the good habits already developed, slowly and painstakingly devloped over years, such as drinking water with meals, really did help.
Could I (or anyone else) be blamed for thinking that it might also have something to do with not being able to get to a refrigerator? Sure that could also help a bit. After all the food which arrives on the tray is a very strict, the very definition of, portion control.
Portions of what? What was on the tray? Well I hoped I was making some weight friendly choices, like inclusion of a piece of fruit with each meal, and avoidance of too many desserts. At one stage I recall thinking I wish I could visit this restaurant more often because they had some particularly delicious crumbed fish on one of the trays.
A whole year and a bit has flown by since the last blog entry so it seems a good time to resume again, documenting each month’s eating theme and various activities and etceteras. Thankfully the walking has slowly returned to almost normal and with as much distance as before. What has changed is the walking path taken: the gravel lane has been removed from the route.
