I'm walking on sunshine oooh oh.....katrina and the waves.

[Portlandprincess]

And don't it feel good!

Went on a super duper sunshine holiday for a week and had an amazing time in the sunshine. I did not have a piña colada....they're never as good as I think they're going to be.....but I had a freezing glass of lager every lunchtime...or two...and once three...I know! And I ate olives, tapas, salads....any thing I wanted.

And I walked on sunshine, in the sunshine, everyday for about two hours. Lovely! And swam in the sea for about half an hour a day....loved it

So my lovely forum buddies....I've stayed the same...13 st 13 lb....I feel great about that.

I honestly feel that this is now my life, not a race to the body I had in the past....

I am in control of how I feel and .....food , or drink will not fill me with joy....walking in the sunshine will....

So, my plan for the week is get out into what ever sun appears...whenever possible...and keep on keeping on.

Good luck you lovely lot for the week ahead...and enjoy every day....x

Fantastic PP, ever positive as usual

It just goes to show that this journey is not all about denial and misery, but a voyage of discovery and delight.

Here's to that next pound of unwanted energy melting away in the sun

Morning PP

Delighted to hear that you had a fabulous time on holiday and maintained your weight in the process, that's a fantastic achievement in itself. You're sounding very positive at the moment and are so right that we should 'enjoy every day', this is a lifestyle change for all of us and it has to be sustainable and enjoyable. Have a great week.

Thank you Mrs g....it was a wonderful holiday...missing the sunshine though!

Hiya PP That's really fantastic that you managed a week away with no weight gain ! The great thing is that you said you ate 'everything you wanted' which shows that subconsciously your tastes have changed away from all the stuff that was no good for you and you have found a balance. Well done and welcome back

Hi Lucca...thank you...I think you're right too...didn't think of it until you wrote it...subconsciously we say things and truth is there....hope your week is going well....

[Hidden]

Sunshineeeeeeeeeeee............ not sure what that is anymore, I vaguely remember feeling the warmth of the sun, but that seems soooo long ago...... lol.

You sound as if you had a fabby time portlandprincess, so pleased that the sun shone for you. Now your lovely positive aura is shining on us all on here, spreading your warm and wonderful joy of life..........and dubious taste in music, hehehe. 😊

[Portlandprincess in reply to Hidden]

Shellie! Yeah thank you.....know what you mean about the music...went to see the Martian tonight...loved it and loved the 70's music..the DJ in me is working overtime now!

[Hidden in reply to Portlandprincess]

Confession time...... I love 70's music, clothes, even furniture 😁 Being 48 ( going on 19, lol. ), the 70's were my era of total freedom and lack of any responsibility. Oh, and being a perfect size 10...... memories......😃

[Portlandprincess in reply to Hidden]

I love Tina Charles......I love to love but my baby just loves to dance?..oh and slow dancing to Chicago...if you leave me now....times gone by.

Glad you enjoyed your week in the sun without restricting yourself too much. Well done on managing to keep your weight the same, that really is an achievement and something to be proud of.

Onwards and upwards 😄 X

[Portlandprincess in reply to Emma-x-]

Thank you....I think it was down to the walking and lack of piña coladas...am so missing the sun now though
