I could have so easily got derailed last weekend as we went camping at Fowey in Cornwall, which was lovely. I had a few rum and diet cokes in the pub on the Friday night... love gin, but don't really like slimline tonic and I've found that most pubs don't seem to do diet lemonade. On Saturday we visited the National Trusts Lanhydrock House where I treated myself to a piece of coffee and walnut cake and thoroughly enjoyed! Alas, everything in moderation they say, but the key is to make lifestyle changes that you can stick with. I'm finding it much easier over the summer months to eat lots of salads for lunch, but also prefer cooking from scratch... much, much tastier than a lot of pre-packed stuff.
With going away last weekend, I've been a bit slack on the exercise this week apart from some walking last Friday and Saturday. So I was a bit surprised to have still lost 2.8lbs taking me to 18.2lbs off the bodywork. I tend to set myself little goals to keep motivated... so I'm now very excited to be only 1.8lbs to my next goal of 20lbs... or 2.8lbs and will have lost 21lb (or 1½ stone). Certainly gives me something to work towards and a week Sunday (2nd July) I'm off to an old school friend's wedding, so I've also been using that as an incentive to keep going.
What seems like a little loss, all those little losses eventually add up... so I'm thrilled to be down 18.2lbs in 11 weeks. But there's no doubt that my swimming has been helping whittle away the inches. Never thought I'd say it, but I haven't been now for just over a week and have actually missed it.
I hope that you have all had a great week and also have a great weekend. If you've fallen off the wagon... just rule a line under today, jump back on and start again tomorrow. Let's keep going.
