Gyms are now closed for he foreseeable future and running outside looks impossible for a while. As any serious exercise would appear currently impossible I will have to cut down on food quite a bit.
Food and exercise were amongst the very few pleasures still available and they have gone for the time being.
Lets see; the company of friends and family, restaurants, museums & galleries, countryside (travel now banned), holidays, seeing people smile, watching kids play (or interact with their friends at all), a simple hug or a coffee with someone.
There are fewer and fewer things to make life bearable and I have little hope of an improvement any time soon.
Maybe it will thaw enough for a run next week!

If you like bread, I recommend the Livlife seeded low carb bread. I expected it to be rubbish but it's really tasty and only 3.8g of carbs a slice. Slices are small though but you get used to it and it's nice to have a sandwich sometimes. I get mine from Ocado but think it's in Asda too.

Ryvita slices does not spike blood sugars much for me.
