Movedalot Happy birthday!

Weighed first thing and about a pound I think - these dial scales are so hard to read! I was pleased though as expected it to go up - out at a family birthday celebration yesterday and we had delicious cakes!!

Awful! Party sat night delish food! Must get back on track total 4lb up from pre hol!,, help!!!
having jacket and salad today then off to musc day so may be tempted as they do amazing hot dogs with proper sausages!

Official weigh in fri

Up 2lb which I deserve. Bored in Buxton for a couple of days. Shopped at Chatsworth farm shop and Bakewell on the way home (great flapjack!) Cream tea in Coleshill. Out for lunch with friends on Friday and then the Great Malvern Food Festival on Saturday and son + fiancee stayed over last night. Oh, not to forget the gin and tonic marmalade my neice made for me. Also no exercise all week. Lucky to have got away with only +2lb!

Gardening this afternoon and gym tomorrow to try to get back on track. Out every night this week! This retirement lark is hard work!

As said before, I've put back some of the weight I lost since moving to Switzerland over the winter. I lost 1.5 stones, and put back 6 lbs.
Weather has been awful so not as much gardening and walking as normal + injured my knee a couple of weeks ago.But got a real shock at the Dr's the other day, as they found my diabetes has rocketed - which is a real wake up call. So more exercise, will take up swimming again and much better portion and carb control. Have made appointment to go to diabetologist as soon as back from Paris to make sure we get back in control asap. Quite shaken by it all actually.

In the UK I was so well looked after, with 6 monthly appointments at a specialist clinic- but here you are on your own. Also joined the local diabetics association to make sure I get more support.

Will post weight on Wednesday to give me time to get over the weekend. I am on a fasting day today and am starving,trying to keep out of the kitchen, it's torture! Usually I sail through it, I don't know what is different today.
