I've decided to play along too... although I am pre op I have put on a bunch of weigh since lockdown and need to at least get back where I was before I go back to work!!! Today marks the start of making better choices.... 110 gm Home made low carb lean meatloaf on leaves for lunch. Total cals - 320 Total carbs - 5.3g Took a break half way through eating then finished it about an hour after.

They look amazing!

Hi Lisa, When you wrote that in March yes it was the end of our Summer and we did not shut down as a country until around the 22nd of March...I was stood down from my job along with most of the country on the 31st of March. I am not quite sure what constitutes "walloped" where you are, but just to clarify, we in Australia have had a very lucky and "best case" scenario when it comes to Covid, whilst the lock down has been difficult and economically challenging, our death rate had been truly astounding considering that we travel the world a lot and have a very large international tourism industry. As of today May 30, we have only lost 103 people due to Covid-19 and only 7,200 total cases in the country since the pandemic hit, currently there are only 2 people on ventilators due to Covid in the whole country. We have moved from level 4 lockdown and are at level 2 or even 1 in some states now and the country is starting to return to normal, although travel especially any international travel to or from will be off the cards for a long time I think. Was it due to the fact it hit in Summer?... The distance we are from the rest of the world?.. Quick, decisive and thorough lock down as soon as the scale of the problem was identified? or Just sheer good luck? No doubt analyists will be studying, conjecting and analysing for years to come. I hope and pray the rest of the world can get some better outcomes from this in the very near future, the death rate has been truly appalling in so many developed nations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_by_country_and_territory
