I am rubbish at school holidays, I really am. This week has been another rough week with a 1lb gain. I've had no car this week (MOT & Service resulted in an expensive part needing to be shipped in) so taking the kids any great distance has been a no-no, and the weather has been awful too so there was little chance of trying to drag them out walking (esp the 2yo & 4yo). In fact we wound up staying in pretty much all week with one trip to a local park (on a freeeeeezing cold day) and one trip to an indoor play area.
We have also enjoyed Pancake Day... with masses of pancakes; some with cheese and ham, some with chocolate and fruit. Not ideal for slimming.
I knew in advance that this would be a hard week though so I have been working on damage limitation. The juicer has been put through it's paces. Even the kids are enjoying the results of my juicing and pinterest addiction (I'll be buying a smoothie maker next). All in all I think a 1lb gain isn't too bad. I was expecting 2-3lb gain. Hubby stayed the same - and he wasn't expecting that either.
Just one more day of holidays left though, and Hubby is home tomorrow too so I am off walking all week if I can. I want to get my steps in, keep juicing and souping and hopefully next week I can lose something. A 1lb gain might not be so bad, but it is two weeks in a row and that has to stop now. I had planned to lose a stone by Easter and now that's looking doubtful. I'm still going for a minimum 7lb loss (9lb now) and I will count anything over that a real bonus.
Someone said to me that my weight loss looked to have "plateaued" and at the same point as last time (before my wedding), but it's not leveled out for no reason. I am secumbing to temptation more easily, using holidays as an excuse to slack off. And I need to get going again! Some one KICK ME back into the Weight Loss Game please!
Facebook has changed it’s policy for posts to Facebook pages like mine. They are only showing posts to a few likers unless I pay to boost the views. Since I don't earn money from my blog (or at least not much, not even enough to buy one posh a coffee a week) I wont be doing that. The best way to make sure you will see my blog posts is to subscribe by email up there on the right. I usually only email once a week and include an invitation to my blog hop so you can share your posts too.

Weigh In:
- Me: +1 lb
- Hubby: STS
- My total loss since Nov 2013: 58 lb
- Argh! 2lb gain in two weeks!
Things I have learned this week:
- It would be really easy to pack all this in right now and gain all my weight back
- I lost my will power to continue at this same point (weight) last time I tried to get healthy - I need to get past this!
- I need to get my head back into this!
Targets for this week:
- Juicing & Souping through the day, proper dinners in the evening. NO MORE JUNK MEALS!
- Walk 3-4 miles at least 3-4 days this week
- LOSE! Even if it's just 1lb!
