Time Out

Since tweaking this blog to do less entries I've actually found myself thinking more about what I'm eating, not eating, and the exercise I am and am not doing. Funny really, as I thought it might go the other way. This week however, I have taken my foot off the gas, as they say. My parents are on holiday and in some respects so am I.

I won't have a "proper" holiday this year. I've not had one for around seventeen years, so it's not really a big loss to me. However it is nice to take some time out now and again. The past few days have been a little like that. I've not exactly munched a lot of junk but certainly in the case of today, I've not eaten as well as I should have. This is for a few reasons, but mainly that sense of not being involved in a routine.

Wednesday will be my time to step on the scales as per usual. I fully expect this week I will go up, which is disappointing to me in the sense that I appeared to be about to go under ten stone for the first time in a long time. I know though the reasons why that probably won't happen so I am quite confident in "fixing" them over the next few weeks. The important thing to remember is I am not in a race, this isn't some set amount of days plan, and it's certainly not a gimmick diet. I would be more annoyed if I was doing my healthy living thing and my weight went up. If it does go up on Wednesday then I already know the reasons why.

Finally for just now, if you haven't checked out last week's 'Be My Guest' blog entry then please do so. It really is a personal tale and albeit very different from my reasons for doing this, it did remind me of why I started this - and that of course was after my Father came through a heart attack. Everybody's got a story and that's why I want you to be part of this blog, there are details on how to Be My Guest here.
