Guess who's back...?
Morning all -
Have been thinking about the remainder of my LL journey, going forward... and I'm in a bit of a tizz trying to work out how to do things, dates etc... so thought I would vent on here and hope some of you can offer some pearls of wisdom.
When I set out to do LL I wanted to get to 10 stone - I was 12st 1lb at my weigh in last Sunday - so would imagine I have about two stone (aka months) to go before RTM.
I have since decided that I am going over to the states on a blow out holiday (money wise, not food!!) and want to be able to eat when I am there... now - we are planning a few days in NYC, followed by 10 days or so near my old house in Estero, Florida. We were going to go around April/May because that's when I anticipated finishing RTM... BUT, looking back - Florida becomes almost unbearable come April with the humidity etc... so everyone is recommending we try and go end Feb/beginning March.
SO - what do I do about Lighter Life. I don't want to put the holiday off - I haven't had a proper holiday for about seven years and want to get back over the the US before it gets too hot and nasty (and I can't wait until October!!!!)... but I don't want to be taking foodpacks...
RTMers.... how many weeks is RTM - and is there a point in which you can 'go it alone' for a fortnight... and come back onto RTM if necessary?
OR... as my mum has suggested - I could try finishing Developers slightly before I hit the 10 stone goal - get RTM going and then try and adopt a low GI way of eating and try and get the last stone off myself with diet and exercise.
Which would you suggest???????
I have tried looking at dates etc... but it's starting to boggle by brain...
By my reckoning...
I 'should' reach 10st goal by 1st February if I maintain a stone every 4 weeks... giving me a maximum of 4/5 weeks on RTM pre-holiday...
If I was to stop Developers early enough to ensure the bases were covered in RTM, when would I need to stop?
OK - thank you thank you in advance for having a think about this - I really don't know what to do.
I DEFINITELY want to hit my goal - but am prepared to try and do some of the work myself on eating plans/gym etc... is this realistic??
