I’m Back..and I stepped on the scales
You know that moment when you come home from holiday
The house looks the same, but different
The cases need packing, washing and putting away
You feel exhausted from the travelling
You wonder what damage you’ve done from all the indulging….
Holidays are so worth it though and we were so ready to escape everything and chill out
Before we went we were Stressed
Tired
Overworked
We wanted to get away from the house, which still has some work needing doing
We needed to escape
The priority list was spending quality time together
relaxing in the warm weather
having fun with Danny
enjoying some fab food and a few drinks
We did it all
TBH I was expecting a few pounds gain, and I shared many of my meals & drinks with the girls in the Taransformer Support groups, I stepped on the scales this morning and I stayed the same weight.
Please don’t think I’m sending you a braggy email….I’ve got a few points and tips for you.
Firstly, is the importance of balance.
I ate waffles at breakfast,
Chips and ice cream at lunch
Chocolate and Wine with a 3 course dinner
I had everything I enjoyed with 2 important factors
1 – I didn’t do it at every meal. I made good choices with lots of veg, salad, lean meat and fish
2 – When I did it, I enjoyed it so much and wasn’t hard on myself for being indulgent
Secondly, we moved…in a much gentler way
At home I aim to get in the gym or do a home workout 3/4 times per week. I lift weights, work hard and get it done and dusted in about 20mins. On holiday we took the nicer approach. In the two weeks I went to the gym 3 times (once walked out because I was skipping and felt my pelvic floor wouldn’t play game, so I bailed. Grrrr)
We went for lovely walks along the coastline. Danny enjoyed the ride and we enjoyed the chatting, people watching and sunshine.
Walking is something that I (and many) don’t do enough of which is to good to make a habit of.
Third point – We weren’t stressed
We took things in our stride. When we’re stressed our bodies get tense and our hormones can make us hold on to weight. Taking a much more relaxed approach in our lifestyle can help us manage stress and our hormones can work with us to relax and make it easier to lose weight, burn fat and feel healthier.
Now I know you’re not all in Lanzarote right now but following these principles is what we need to do as a lifestyle. Not just on holiday or when you’ve got something coming up.
When you want to lose weight, lose the bloat and like your body more you need to make good choices most of the time and enjoy the indulgences (not the mindless, Oops I didn’t mean to eat all those moments)
You need to move regularly even if you just go for a walk. Life is busy busy busy and a 12min HIIT or 15mi walk most days will make a difference
Be kind to yourself.
You are NOT a failure if you slip up and don’t stick to a plan.
It’s hard staying mindful all of the time, but learn that you can get back to it. The main thing is to never ever ever give up.

P.S Whilst I didn’t put on any weight on holiday, I certainly feel I need a good detox from the cakes, ice-cream, waffles, diet coke, coffee, wine, beer, crisps……Time to get some more water and some good clean eating at home. My man will be joining me too
