’And so I’m back, from outer space...’

[Frenchfields]

...and the scales have given me that sad look upon my face' 😁. Sorry just trying to be cheery on a gloomy wet day. Back from my holiday ( not really in outer space) had an amazing time bave gained 2lbs which is actually less than I deserve -our friends booked the first week, full board in very foody hotels -I have never seen so much food consumed in a day, nice but not really necessary. Anyway, second week, just with OH was more normal thank goodness, lots of walking. Back on the low carb and feeling much better for it, and my OH has decided to lose some too. Managed to do a bit at the gym this morning, and planning to start the beginner yoga by Adrienne (recommended on here). Hope everyone else is getting to where they want to be -I shall have a coffee and read through the posts I have missed.

Glad to hear you've had a good holiday! 2lbs gain is really nothing and I'm sure you'll soon drop it again!

Apologies this is me on holiday . The All Inclusives . First day I stare in wonder . What can I miss ? How many times can I return ? We then have a crazy long walk then back to troughs of food . By day 3 I have tried all . Off for a swim , let’s see if anything tempts me on the sports board - will archery or dominos help ? Day 4 had enough of the wine and cheap gin . Trip booked and have to find the bus stop to go the right direction. By Day 5 my food intake has stabilised. Week gone / home … plus 4 lb . Why did I do this ? Back on the holiday website to do it all again .

I guess the important point really is did we enjoy the holiday, and I really did. Although one of our excursions was to a very well known art gallery ( I won’t say which one) , I still can’t decide which was worse the food in the restaurant or the art exhibits , its a hard call 😆. Yes, I’m probably a philistine. Hope you enjoyed your trip. We will both buckle down and shift the ’extra baggage,’ til the next time.
