We're all going on a summer holiday.

The photo on this blog has been removed for health & safety reasons. If I ever saw it on my facebook page again I was liable to kill someone.





Oh my goodness that is a totally tragic photo! Folk tell me I'm brave posting pics in my underwear, I think I'm brave posting this one. I look bloody awful! Give me a knicker shot any day.

So we're away on holiday. No scales available so no weight measured. You'll have to wait until next week to see the damage. And yes I'm pretty confident that damage has been done. I'm on holiday... Do I want to be watching what I eat? No! I want my holiday to be an excuse to tuck in. Afternoon coffee, would you like a slice of cake with that? Yes please. Bailey's as a night cap? Be rude not to. Hot tub with or without prosecco? Don't ask silly questions. Chocolate with our evening coffee? Yeah it's a family tradition!! But is it really worth it? I can easily put on 7lbs in a week and I'm not kidding it's a skill of mine. And that would take me a few weeks to get rid of. And if this was my only annual holiday I'd say it is so worth it. You save hard and look forward to getting away all year who wants to refuse that slice of cake? But of course, if you know me you'll know I Ihave a few holidays. I spend my weeks trying to lose my excess holiday lbs just in time to go away again and put them all on again. Hence I go round in circles. Weight on, weight off, weight on, weight off! Something needs to change... Maybe my next holiday things will be more appropriate to losing weight lol. Don't hold your breathe.

However I must declare that we have walked..a lot. See exhibit A above. 9 mile walk around the reservoir. First 3 miles OK, on a path right next to the water. But then for the next 3 miles we were off piste. Through fields, long grass, through forests, more long grass this time in a bog. Very muddy and wet and horrible. Over a stream.... it was almost through a stream! The bridge was a telegraph pole lol. Back into fields and finally on a road. Last 3 miles following the track back to the water was tough. As you can see I was hot, knackered and fed up! But my God the hot tub felt fab.

I've learnt this week? Yep step on the tufts of grass in a bog!

An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
