Lost and found my mojo.......

[Doitthistime]

Last week I lost 1lb taking total up to 10lb in 4 weeks. This week I just couldn't be ar**d doing my prep and didn't write everything down. Didn't lose but stayed the same (luckily). Busy work week so that was a big part of lack of prep time. I've thought about how I felt when I saw the figures on the scales and I've sort of pulled myself together! I don't want to start back to the low mood and then getting angry with myself, when it's me that's in control. I've kept dropping into the site and keep reading what everyone has been doing. It really does help to bring back the focus, so thanks for being here. I'm now prepping for the next 2 days so should be back on track. I'm off to Las Vegas for a week next week so have something to look forward to and my husband is so excited. I'm going to be good whilst I'm there but aim to maintain rather than spoil the holiday. I'm not a fan of alcohol so that's a long way to keeping on top of the calories. So current weight is 17st 1lb and will do my upmost to hit the 16's by 3 weeks time. Hope it's been a good weekend for you all.

Well done for recognising the signs of the slippery slope and being able to stop the rot quickly, Doitthistime

I hope you have a super time in Las Vegas and even come back a lesser woman!

I can hear the 16's calling you!

It's a tricky balancing act when you're away from home. American hotels often have buffets so I guess you can try to choose wisely. I'm off to Liverpool, not nearly so exciting, and worrying about too much tempting hotel food. Good luck.

Have a fab time in Liverpool. I love it especially in the summer. I'm there in June for a couple of nights for a wedding 🎩. Hope you enjoy and keep on track.

Enjoy Las Vegas Doitthistime and Liverpool Grannynise . You are both right about temptation on holiday. I have felt I could be at the top of a slippery slope, been feeling rough, work tricky, both triggers for me. I am trying to fight on, not giving in. Talking here helps as my lovely but skinny husband doesn't get it. I tried on some clothes that are too big, felt pleased then put them in the rag bag or charity bag. Keep going, we can do this!

Well done for getting back on track! That's the most important thing because none of us are perfect and if you're in for the long haul then of course you will lose your mojo every now and then. The only thing that matters is picking yourself up and carrying on. Have a wonderful holiday!!
