Hello again. It's been quite a strange couple of weeks all in all. After gaining a ridiculous amount of weight within a very short period, I decided to take the big step and rejoin Slimming World Online. I managed to find the motivation to really put in the effort in my first week, which was rewarded with a 3lb loss. Week 2 was more of a challenge, thanks to a mix of happy events (which meant eating out) but also a dip in my mood, out of the blue and for no reason, which has impacted on my good work. And in a demoralising end to week 2, I gained 1lb.
Apart from my holiday months of May and September, the period between late January and mid-May is probably my favourite time of the year. National finals/Eurovision season is in full swing and there is that extra "buzz". Unfortunately though I have recently hit a slump and last week I just felt so sad, and I can't explain why. It's not work or my personal life, both of which are very happy and settled. Is "the dieting" maybe messing with my mind again, as it did before (in different times)? But there is also the tiredness/fatigue which I experience from time to time, and my poor fitness levels.
Still, it's a marathon, not a sprint. However it would be nice to lose a few pounds and reacquaint myself with the 95% of the clothing in my wardrobe which has been out of bounds for the last couple of years whilst my weight seemed to soar.
My mood has lifted over the past couple of days though, and it's onwards into week 3 towards Friday's weigh-in. I have meal-planned for the week and written it all in my book so here's hoping that I'll be losing instead of gaining by the time Friday comes around.
