Hi ladies.
Christmas eating didn't go to plan as usual. But new year and back to it today. Normally takes me longer to get back in to it so have surprised myself hope everyone else is ok. Xx

Well here we go again, back with my usual failings.
I am doing WW still but really struggling as the losses aren't what I am used to. Only 19lb since end of Feb. So am thinking of combining 16:8 with I to hopefully speed things up a bit. I don't expect to lose 5lb every week or anything I just want and need consistent losses. My motivation is zero so hoping this will give me the boost I need. I realised (thanks to Lexie) that this forum was what I was missing too, all the support I always got from you all here really helped so much!!
So this week even after I have been on bike rides, managed a 14.5k (not much for some but its huge for me) I was looking at a 7 or 8 maybe more gain so what did I do but eat everything, stupid stupid stupid. Just don't expect to gain when doing exercise. So going to give WW class a miss tomorrow and get myself back on track.
Vertigo playing up today and medication is making me drowsy so not done any exercise. Will sit tonight and plan my food properly. Planning is definitely key to making it work too and I haven't been doing it enough lately - have got lazy.
Hope you are all doing well. Xx

You can do it.. Just keep trying !
Yes exercise can definitely make you gain on the scales .. Just remember exercise gives you NSV so keep checking measurements and also how you feel, can you cycle easier,longer etc .. 14km is a long way !! Carry on just don't push your self too hard every day

Thanks Tara, wise words as always.
So we are going away for two nights, leaving first thing tomorrow morning and won't be back until Monday evening. So I can safely say points most likely won't be counted until Tuesday. But we don't get away often and we deserve it. Just heading to the beach so it won't be crazy food either. Its not a commercialised area so no fairs with the usual temptations of donuts, burgers, sweets etc. Just us, the sand and the sea oh and a good book
