Another 5 week posting gap in my blog! I really need to get back on top of this and post at least once a week. There is no doubt that the blogging kept a constant pressure and focus on keeping to plan all of last year and since slacking on it this year things have been difficult.
It's been a frightening 5 weeks in more ways than 1! I put on 9 lbs (4.08 kg) before my Scotland Mountain Biking Holiday, and put on a further 12.5 lbs while away! Thats a 21.5 lbs GAIN! However, I think that shock snapped me out of it! I've been back on the Slimming World track for 2 weeks now, and its felt great! It feels like it did last year when things were going so well, and things have gone well! Unfortunately I was stuck down in London longer than I expected last Thursday and missed Weigh In, so this week I got on the scales with a 2 week loss of 22.5 lbs (10.21 kg)!
I have always said, if you put it on fast on a holiday, you can lose it and more just as fast! I'd actually hoped to lose more over the 2 weeks, but I'm very relieved to have lost all I put on recently, now just 5 lbs (2.27 kg) more to lose to get back to my lowest and hopefully forge ahead to my next short term target of 16 stone (224 lbs / 101.6 kg) and then on to 14 stone (196 lbs / 88.9 kg)!
Positives and Negatives of the last five weeks:
+ Feels great being back in the zone!
+ New record weight losses
- Some crazy GAINS, so glad I got rid of them straight away!
Goals for this week:
1) Set a crazy goal of 1 lbs a day, so 7 lbs this week. Which will be tough with a weekend in London for Karen's Birthday, but will give it a shot!
2) Keep Optimising for healthier choices in the difficult "Out of the house" meals. Salads and Fruit are so easily available in shops/petrol stations etc these days which makes things a lot easier.
3) Keep saying NO to excuses to go "Off Plan"!
Mini target for the week is 7 lbs! Really want to achieve that despite this being a tough week to do so with Karen's birthday, including a weekend away in London!
