I've done nothing. I've relaxed in the pool. I've soaked up the sun. I've loved wearing my dresses, and I've felt better than I have in years. Just what a holiday is supposed to do, for me at least.

It would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about stepping on the scales on Monday morning. It's a weird feeling that I can't explain. Partly because I always put weight on (having enjoyed all the food and drink) but this time I want things to be different. I don't want to believe that my weight loss is infallible. To be reminded that I do still have the ability to gain weight - that's so scary. I know other weight loss surgery peers that have holidayed and gained just a little. As soon as they get home the small increase has melted and they've continued to lose. I also know others that still lost whilst away. But what I can't let it do is spoil the time I have left on this beautiful island. Qué sera Sera.

Mark has been diving alone. I discussed it with my doctor and we decided I needed to wait 6 months after surgery, so I have. It's been fine. He's gone every morning, all morning. I was a little jealous but it's sensible. Until he decided he wanted to do the next step in diving competency. He's done his rescue Diver course! I don't want to do rescue Diver, I'm happy as advanced open water - but I'm not happy that he'll be one step ahead of me! My only compensation is that he'll be qualified to rescue me should I ever need it lol. 

I hope you've all had a holiday this year. Whether far flung or closer to home or even down the road. Holidays are what you make them. Your holiday might be doing all the museums or shopping in a new town. Hiking up a mountain or visiting your mum. Just leaving the house for a few hours can rejuvenate you. Sitting in the garden on a fine day with a glass of wine. Embrace any time that you're not working or cleaning or looking after kids. Take a deep breath and count your blessings. Thank you for reading and I love you all 

Are you an adult? Yeah, but not like on purpose or anything.
