It was totally expected. Karen and I went away for the weekend to Scarborough, and I gave myself the weekend off. I didn't feel all that great for it, but it was nice to have a nice relaxed care free "I'll just eat whatever is going" attitude. So to be fair, I'm actually quite impressed it was only 2 lbs (0.91 kg) on! On the up side though, tonight I did manage to break the 30 minute mark in my 5km run! For the first time it actually felt like a RUN! Sooooo happy with that! :)

I have no great expectations of the next week either, though at least most of the meals will still be on plan. Saturday is a day out with the kids at a Christmas "theme park?" and have no idea what to expect for lunch, and not goign to bother trying to take something with us. Sunday will be a fairly healthy Christmas lunch though I expect the roasted meat portions will be out of hand, and I will indulge in some puddings. But "It's Christmas"! :P Rest of the week I'm on holiday, and if I flexisyn Saturday and Sunday right, and use good portions of the "free time" when not playing with the kids to Run and cycle, I should be able to keep the week fairly good and hoping for a small loss if possible.

Positives and Negatives of the week:
+ I had a great weekend away with my wife to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary! :)
+ Breaking the 30 minute mark on my 5km run was a massive positive!
- Sad I gained, but it was expected, and I will lose it again!

Goals for this week:
1) Have a great Christmas with the family
2) Food Optimise All meals posible this week
3) Use some of my "free time" to get some extra running and cycling in! ;)

It sounds a crazy goal to set to lose weight on the Christmas week, but Saturday out is a bigger threat than a reasonably healthy Christmas Lunch. And with all the extra time while not working to burn some extra calories I don't see why a small loss is not possible! :) Would still be good to get to 11 stone this month! So 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg) is my ambitious target! :)
