*Starshine*'s Journal, 09 August 2013

A major new challenge starting for me today, as we leave home for the next 6 weeks. A lot of my weight loss over the last 4 months has been helped by being at home, where I can plan, shop and prepare the right foods easily, I can set my own schedule, and I have a cross-trainer in the living-room, as well as local exercise classes and my weight-loss club. Now, we've got a 2-week road-trip with friends in the Lake District (Cumbria, UK) and then Scotland, followed by 4 weeks working on a house we've been renovating. I know I should be happy at the prospect of vacationing and that we have a second home at all, but the truth is I'm just dreading all the eating-out to come and then the makeshift meals at the renovation, where we don't even have a stove (though we're planning to put one in when we're there.) Food journaling is going to get mighty complicated. Naturally, I can't really say any of this to friends and even my husband, as they already think I'm a bit obsessed about my health and weight loss, which of course I am... In preparation for the upheaval, I'm taking along my Tanita body composition scales so I can monitor my progress and I've been practising jogging outside for the last 3 months, which I can do just about anywhere. Doing my daily stretches and Pilates will definitely be complicated, though, staying at B&Bs and then living on a building site! I'll try to journal at various points to say how it's all going, but wish me luck --I'm going to need it!
