I’m back!
I’ve been on holidays for just over 2 weeks, and sorry I haven’t caught up on all the posts yet, but for those facing uncertainties/issues/challenges – my thoughts are with you. It does seem that the world is all shook up at the moment, in so many ways, without our own personal struggles on top of it, so look after yourselves and take every day as it comes.
I weighed after the first 10 days and was 12st 7.0lb – EEK! A few days of super-focus low carb, 16:8 TRE and low cal got me back to 12st 2.2lb, and today (first day back to work) I was back up to 12st 7.0lb – we have eaten out quite a lot, and alcohol has been consumed, but I feel like I’m OK with this and when I am in a routine I know what to do to drop the weight again. After some refined carbs the past 3 days I am hoping that a lot of the 7.0lb is water weight and started today with a 16:8 TRE, cold meat and salad lunch, and will be chicken breast and salad for supper.
Hubby is odd – in hot weather he gets hungrier than usual, even though he is also drinking much more water! I am the opposite, and my appetite is down (makes a change for me), so I am generally eating 2 meals to his 3, which is not a bad thing.
Giving up work – I am envious! I was promoted in January (a job I wanted, so I can’t complain) but the job I took and the job I have are not quite the same thing now and I am mostly not enjoying it anymore. Unfortunately, the holiday hasn’t helped, it has just amplified my discontent, but I am also realistic enough to realise that my holiday was only possible on my salary, so walking away is not an option at the moment. On the plus side, I am not comfort eating with stress.
Keep on keeping on as S-G would say, you are an inspiration to us all.
