The summer seems to have flown by. The children are back at school and we are left with some wonderful memories of camping, weddings, trips to the seaside on a steam train, lazy days and lovely food! A bit too much if I am honest. I couldn't tell you where I went wrong exactly but somewhere along the way I lost the map to fabulous and took a wrong turn to flabulous instead.
I was really nervous going back to slimming world post summer, I knew a weight gain was about to be served to me and my three stone award would elude me a while longer. I thought about taking another week off. If I tried really hard to stick to the eating plan and work out on the Wii fit everyday, surely I could repair the damage of the summer. Who was I kidding? I'm not traveling this journey alone, I needed to get back on track, face reality and keep pressing on.
I managed to gain about five pounds over the summer. Not the end of the world by any means, just a pot hole in the road. So I pause and take a look back at my last summer being the size I am. I've taken some mental snapshots to encourage me towards next summer. My snapshots include squeezing into a seat behind a table on a steam train, being convinced that everyone on the beach had an opinion on me eating chips on the beach, certain that everyone I passed along the seafront stared at me as I ate my ice cream, worrying that the deck chair would collapse, hoping there would be enough room on the floor for me to sit when 10,000 people sat down on the floor in a marquee. These are all snapshots I am looking forward to sending to the recycle bin when I no longer have a use for them.
A week later I weighed in another three and a half pounds lighter. I am delighted, I have set my next goal and I'm hoping to get my four stone award before the October half term. I have another journey to take then, but more about that another day. For now...I am working on the snapshots of the future.......they're fabulous!!!!!
