It's mud not poo!

Having a lovely week away, staying in a cottage in Worcestershire with hubby and dog. Found a local slimming world on Wednesday night and got weighed - put on 2lbs! But (now say it with me) "It's ok because I'm on holiday!"

We're close to family so we all went to a local national trust estate, and went for a jolly good walk. Through the woods which had lots of 'natural' play - including this bank that you climbed down then someone pulled you back up by rope looped around your waist. I was encouraged to have a go by my niece, Georgia*, and I fell!! This bottom shot is mud...I did not poo my pants (see below).

So I've not ran anywhere but this is not because I didn't want to, I honestly just haven't remembered. Hopefully once I'm home and in a routine I'll set alarm earlier and run before I get ready for work. Start running before I've even realised what is happening ha ha, still half asleep! This I think will work! But even though I've not ran anywhere we have done lots of walking, up and down hills, through forests and over stiles, through fields and over bridges. Walked miles!

Being in a strange bed I've not slept as well as home and for first few nights I dreamt, a lot. I was telling my gorgeous niece Sarah* about a rather weird one where I'd poo'd my pants! My 8 year old great niece, Chloe* came in half way through the conversation and just heard that I'd poo'd my pants. Her face was a picture and she was truly gutted to hear it had just been a dream. It was very funny.

I've been thinking long and hard about my lack of weight loss. It's driving me mental and I need a good kick. Don't all queue up to oblige lol. I'm worried it just won't happen. I've spent most of my life now trying to lose weight, and you know what? I used to be really good at it. (Albeit the weight crept back on). This time I've found it so much harder. Can't seem to concentrate. Can't seem to stick to a plan - any plan!! I need to regroup and have a real good think of where I go moving forward. Feel free to give me your point of view, though don't be offended if I don't take you on. After all everyone has their opinion and there are thousands of plans/diets/theories of there. Anyway, one thing that I know is that I'm not giving up. I can't... I've no clothes that fit!!

Today's weight loss tip : use super glue as lip gloss.

* All names have been changed to protect the innocent - apart from Sarah's. Sarah's real name is Sarah! She insisted I use it. But I made her sign a waiver. She paid me £5 to add that she is gorgeous!
