No news isn't bad news ... but it's not great either!!!

Today is the final day of my annual leave from work ... I just have the weekend to go before I am back in that rather gloomy office staring at the computer screen for eight hours a day five days a week. In the current climate I can't complain about having a job but I have really quite enjoyed being at home, visiting family and friends, doing a few jobs around the house and generally recharging my batteries. It's been a well earned and thoroughly enjoyed rest.

If I'm honest, the diet hasn't been at the top of my list of priorities for the last two weeks. I haven't gone madly off the rails but I have kind of been straying from the tracks a little. A few extra glasses of wine here, a handful of nibbles there, guesstimated weights of cereals and unmeasured martini's have sneaked in there I must admit. I have added things to my online tracker as and when I have been on the computer but I am sure things will have got missed. The time I have spent on the wii fit has been little or none for the most part but by the reckoning of the online activity tracker five hours of decorating every day for three days will have earned me somewhere in the region of 31.5 activity points so I haven't been a complete slob. Well, not until today anyway. Today the sofa was mine, all mine, all day :) Heaven.

Anyways, I missed last weeks weigh in as Hubby and I drove down to see sis-in-law and the family (fish and chips and wine but quite a good sea front walk too) but I did step on the wii fit before we went and it indicated that I had stayed more or less the same. This Monday I did make it to weigh in and I had lost 1lb (!) taking me down to 10st 9.5 lbs ... that's a loss of 9lbs since starting ww meetings and 13.5lbs since the start of the year. Not too shabby eh? I'm actually looking forward to getting back into a routine with my eating next week ... I can't get away with sloppy behaviour like this for very long. Or perhaps I'm not being as naughty as I thought I was. Either way it will be good to get things back under control and I'm ready for it.
