I made it back to Weight Watchers last night.

After a month off, and slacking off and not going last week, I finally bit the bullet and decided to just get on with it, go, get weighed, survey the damage and take a positive step towards getting healthier, slimmer and happier.

So, I arrived (10 min early as it happens!) queued up and got weighed. Since my last WI on June 2nd, I have put on 5lbs.

So a month off, a wedding, a honeymoon (a week of which was all inclusive) and a birthday where I was spoilt rotten all included and ONLY 5lbs on!! :DDDDD

I am super happy with that. Back on track today and feeling fab about being healthier again! :)

Feeling fab about a lot of things actually. feeling happier with my job, not completely but I can see a future for me here with a few changes, and think I might be able to make it work for me eventually going part time/working from home. Which is the eventual goal of course for when we (hopefully) start a family.

That with my decision to get into my photography a bit more again, and develop that into selling prints, paintings, drawings etc online, plus a possible stint in mystery shopping or brochure drops, perhaps not exciting, but if it means I can look after my children at home, get a wee doggy and keep some variety so I do not get bored, I am all for it.

We also have a makeover plan in place for the house. all in all things are looking good and are on the up. Yay! :)

Day 16

I know its early. I have been up and awake for not far of an hour already. D had to leave for work earlier today and when his alarm went off, I was wide awake. Normally I just half wake up and as soon as he is up I coccoon myself in the covers and drop straight back off to sleep.

Instead this morning I was awake, so I made myself breakfast, and came bed to catch up on some of my TV programs! :)

Anyway... Weigh In last night... I lost 1.5lbs!! yes LOST 1.5lbs! :D

Not sure how that happened, i guess saving points and lots of walking did the trick.

Day 2

So, last night I walked to my WWers meeting, got weighed (STS, more on that in a moment) stayed for the meeting and then walked home.

It was lovely being out in the fresh air! and its only a 20ish min walk each way so not a massive hike, I allowed myself 30min so I could take it a leisurely pace. It was a little dull/dusky when I left the meeting and walked home, but its only going to get lighter, and so become more enjoyable. :)

Apparently my freckles also enjoyed the walk, as when D got home he commented on how he loves spring/summer because as soon as I step outside my freckles all start to appear! lol. if I walk shops tonight they will be out in abundance as its a beautiful sunny day. Sunny days put me in a great mood.

Anyway back to my weigh in result. STS. Which actually after the Easter weekend, chocolate eggs, roast dinners, cornflake cakes and chocolate gateaux I am happy with. the walks to feed the ducks, and laying laminate flooring really must have all helped burn off the extra food. Very very happy that I did not put on.

The meeting was about goals last night, and cutting them down into manageable chunks. Mini goals. because while my ultimate goal is about 2 stone away, my midway wedding/honeymoon goal, is just 1stone. and my goal for next week is 2lbs.

So I am trying to keep in mind my midway and ultimate goals, but ultimately just concentrate on my mini goal of 2lbs off next week.

I have my food plan for the next few days, and I shall pop shop tonight to get some fresh fruit and other healthy yummy supplies. :D
