I have managed, horror of horrors, to let a little over 2 stone creep back on after losing 3 stone and maintaining for over a year and a half. I know what the problem has been; we moved to a hilly area and my cycling mileage went way down, as did my time on the bike. I have a relatively active job but it's only at weekends at the moment, until Easter as it's seasonal. In Cornwall, a lot of the work is seasonal. The weight has gone on in 6 months, which was mostly caused by a bit of low level depression, which I have now kicked to the kerb again.
However, we are moving towards the back half of March, back to the flatlands, Lincolnshire to be precise. Very excited by this so starting to get back on the bike in preperation to getting proper riding miles in again.
I can't afford to go to Slimming World group at the moment but, I have my books from last time I joined. Chatting with a work mate, who is also a SW consultant, who tells me that the books are still the same I know that I can just pick up where I left off.
I've set myself a bike riding challenge of riding the equivalent of 30 minutes a day for January. I'm well over target, which is just as well as the weather forecast has given out rain, rain and more rain until Wednesday which will hail the start of the February challenge, which will be the same as the January challenge as it's still too cold for longer rides really.
I started again on 2nd January at a hideous 13st 4lbs and will weigh again tomorrow but don't expect to have lost a huge amount as there have been few off days, terrible days and just plain old non-SW days that included biscuits and cake in.
A lot of my syns, over the last week or so of being totally back on plan, tracking etc have been spent on Pink & White wafters. At 2.5 syns each, they are my favourite. I also rather like mixing 11g of options hot choc into quark to make a chocolate mousse affair thing and adding defrosted frozen fruit. I've had this with added breakfast cereal when I've forgotten to do my overnight oats the night before.
Anyway, really long post to start, the rest will be way shorter.
