HOLIDAY ADVENTURES
As you can see from the pictures above we had a lot of fun on our holiday. The first 2 days were complete disasters because the weather was abysmal. I have not seen so much rain for a long time. Trapped in a caravan with 4 kids, all with sad faces at the thought of no skiing was not pleasant. I couldn't even go for a walk as the rain was too heavy. So we played cards, read books and ate our way through the food supply. I had the best intentions which survived all of one day but then gradually the snacks were just too tempting. My sister was no help as she went on a bit of an eating binge. I could blame her but she didn't actually hold me down and force feed me. I did go for a walk on the Sunday while they were all sleeping. On Monday and Tuesday the weather changed ,we spent the entire days on the boat. It was a wonderful start to the summer season. The scenery where we stay is beautiful and there was lots of laughter to reduce our stress levels. We really did not want to come home last night.
So on the diet front I have gone backwards again and I am a bit annoyed but just a bit. I have always believed that holidays are for enjoying. I certainly ate less than I would have a year ago. Some pluses though that made me appreciate how far I have come; I was able to get into my wet suit without struggling, tugging and needing assistnace, my BIL actually commented on how much lighter I am than last time we went boating, I was able to pull myself onto the boat and throw myself onto the tube with relative ease. Then my daughter commented on the fact that my stomach does not stick out when I lounge on the couch watching Tv with her.
So another day, another start, a new month. I am going to really try to push hard this month to make a marked improvemnt in my fitness and weight before the next holiday season begins.
