Well, I put on half a stone over the hols, but have lost it less than a week later, just through regular eating routine.
Heh - after our week in Northumberland, I was thoroughly disgusted with myself - mostly because I probably drank my entire reasonable allowance of units in alcohol for a whole month (or possibly more) during the week we were up there...(needed something for coping - too much togetherness with the in-laws for a week
).
So I am sort of making a half-hearted effort now to get some of this weight off - hoping to gain momentum as I go along. Just focused on healthier eating this week & NO alcohol. Can't remember the last time I had chocolate - which is almost unheard of! (And strangely enough, I'm not craving it.) Lol! In any case, I appear to have lost 5 pounds of bloat which is a start I guess.
I want to stay off the alcohol as much as possible for much of the rest of the summer, except there will be some tonight when we go out & there is a spare bottle of cider left in the fridge that is calling my name. But apart from that, hopefully not much until we go away together in mid-August for a long N Yorks beach weekend.
DH and I were discussing joining our nearest gym (the one Mr Andee goes to) for us to go together - except that our work schedules are so different... We couldn't go together in the mornings because I'm leaving for work at 7 am just as he's getting up. I'm home in the evening by about 5 and DH not until 6-6:30 pm, which if we then went to the gym together, we'd end up eating even later than we normally do - which is usually late already. Boo. Not sure how to resolve that & neither of us are keen on the gym so the idea in joining was to inspire/motivate/cajole each other to go by going together.
