What a week

 


It all started Friday morning when Ellie woke with a nasty tooth infection which didn't improve before she was due to run her half marathon. We had our hotel still booked at Pitlochry so we went over. Via a garage in Edinburgh for Mark to test drive a car. Unfortunately, Bella didn't settle at the hotel. Her travel crate was suddenly tiny, or she'd grown in the last couple of weeks since trying her in it. Then she started barking every time she heard something outside or in the corridor. And just to finish us off she pee'd on the bed! We checked out at 10.15pm and drove home. Arrived at about 1am but at least we slept. We then had The Hideaways booked near Dundee. So off we drove back down the road - leaving Bella with Isaac lol. Mark bought the car in Edinburgh but they couldn't get it ready for us to pick up Tuesday after our break. Meaning I would have to travel back down south again, by train, to enable me to drive it home (Mark working). Until I had the bright idea to stay at The Hideaways for an extra night. And they had vacancy. Whoop whoop. Had a lovely time. The sun shone, we ate and drank, sat in the hot tub and sauna, and I rocked in the hammock. Just bliss. And we both popped back to Edinburgh for the car! Every cloud...

Weight still stable, but my calories were probably increased when we were away. I'm so happy as I am and I think I forget that I am still over weight and should probably still lose more. However, my skin is loose but liveable. If/when I lose any more my skin will be even saggier and will need cosmetic surgery, which is fine but where I am just now I don't. Does this make sense? I'm back into some of my favourite clothes, though I still have others that are too small. What a conundrum. But my body will do what it will do. It's seeking a new set point, who knows what that is. All I can do is be aware of what I eat. And yes, I have my treats (and won't ever stop those - life is far too short) but healthy foods are always my aim because it tastes good and does me good! Hooray for a salad! 

 What is meant for you will arrive in clarity, not confusion.
