Sorus
Going for it.
Back from Center Parcs and have put on 3lbs. Well it could have been so much worse! Quietly relieved actually. 
My efforts were helped enormously by being with friends who were into saving money in a way that I never am when I'm on holiday. ie they were happy eating lunch back at our cabin rather than out - which was a godsend. I am terrible - it doesn't take any persuasion at all for me to eat out if the opportunity's there.
So I quite happily had either a bar or a soup for lunch and my usual shmuffins for breakfast. We ate out in the evening and apart from the last evening when I did share a pudding with someone I generally kept away from anything too high carb. Made up for it by having a vat of red wine each night instead. Well - red wine is low carb. Sort of.
So that's one weekend down another to go - am up to London the weekend after next. Got tickets for Wimbledon - son's post GCSE treat. Will entail lots of meals out.
I am very lucky - I have lots of nice things happening in June and July. Makes sticking to Exante for any length of time a nightmare but my attitude is life is for living and when I can stick to Exante packs I will. When I can't, I'll be as sensible as the mood takes me.
I am still very motivated - I could really feel the difference this weekend. It felt fantastic being just that bit slimmer than only a few weeks ago. OH is also looking so much better. He's lost at least a stone and one and a half chins in the past 3 weeks. It's like going out with a new man. He's becoming rather gorgeous! Sorry, sorry - even more gorgeous!
