I love having family visit....

....but by golly I don't half eat when they are here. Bbq's, meals out, the nicer (creamier and fattier) home cooked meals.

Lying around in the sun.... drinking cocktails.

OMG.... I'm so weak sometimes!

So my daughter and her boyfriend go home on Tuesday which is incredibly sad. Then I'm home alone for a week as hubby is off to do Duke of Edinburgh stuff. So I will be ever so strict and get lots of walking in. A week on Wednesday my mum arrives till the Sunday which could be another whack of days where I don't move much. My mum is old and has bad knees etc so doesn't walk much.

After that is all over and done with I'm going to be so good. I'm going to be on the fruit.... the small healthy portions.

I only see my family once or twice a year so this doesn't happen much.

On the plus side despite my feelings about my glorious curves (my feelings are sheer embarrassment but I hide it by pretending I don't G.A.F, and that I revel in my ripples) I actually wore a bikini on the beach this weekend and no-one threw rotten veg at me or laughed. Which was lovely and fair made me feel a bit better about myself.

I hope you're all having a good week and looking forward to today's weigh in.

Much love xxx

Well done for enjoying your family and then getting back on it, because that's real. A lifestyle where we can never kick back and have treats isn't sustainable or healthy I think. I have the opposite problem...my Aged M is so stressful she drives me to snack and wine (and whine). But thanks to the support I get on here in back on it today. Xxx

Haha! Yeah... if I ever drank enough to actually get drunk I reckon my mum would drive me to it too.she usually stays in a hotel when she visits (sadly she's an alcoholic and I just won't have her getting reeking around my kids or put up with the nasty mouth she uses after a few) but this time she's staying here after promising me she's not drinking spirits anymore. We will see.

The kicking back is great but in all honesty it doesn't feel as good as stepping on those scales on a Monday morning and seeing a few more pounds gone!

And I really respect you for saying how much you love seeing your family not beginning by moaning about the difficult things about some of them.

I really do enjoy seeing them. We probably get on better than ever since I moved almost 500 miles away from them.... and if I'm honest (although this is a total secret between you and me) I'm a bit of an annoying person myself. So I'm just very pleased they want to spend time with me too x

It's our secret! I'm perfect obviously😂

I'm 200 miles from Aged M and 300 from aged MiL. It definitely helps!
