Well - there it is in black and white. I've bitten the bullet and recorded my increase from my little trip. I've come back with renewed determination. So many FS people seems to be having difficulty staying on the wagon just lately or are considering having a break and I've felt just the same. But.... and its a big but, I know perfectly well that if I do, those scales will just keep on creeping up until I'm back where I started. Spring is just round the corner and I'll have clothes that don't fit and I wont want to shed any of the layers that I've been wearing all winter.
My visit to Nottingham to 'sit' my granddaughter and spend a day or so with her Mum was good. They had a super time in Rome for their anniversary and Lucy and I chilled and chatted. I wasn't captured by Robin Hood or any of his merry men! I smile when I pass a notice saying 'national forrest' on the way there and there isn't a single tree in sight
I always come back from the city with mixed feelings. Everything seems so 'throw-away' and people appear to be posessions orientated, forever planning what they are going to buy next and measuring their worth by what they have, not who they are and what kind of person they are. Perhaps its because I live in a rural area with few shops or chain stores. I sat having a coffee in a pavement cafe in the mall in Derby and overheard a teenager telling her Mum she just had to have a new phone because she was ashamed to use hers and her friends would say she's a dork. Perhaps I'm just getting old. I was like a kid in a toyshop in the mall with so many shops to browse round even though I didn't need anything it was nice to see what was available.
OH coped quite well while I was away and the letter came for his bladder op. He's being admitted on Sunday evening and hopefully he'll be 'done' early Monday morning.
I'm going to take a leaf out of Info's book and become disciplined. I know what to do and I'm jolly well going to do it.
Have a good day everyone

Welcome back and so happy you enjoyed your trip. Unfortunately money is what makes this world go round and it's sad that kids are judged this way but I know they are because I went through it. Thankfully they do grow up and realize that it is not all about things. Glad you are back and hope you stay.

So glad you enjoyed your trip and are back! I had a jump up on the chart, too. Let's focus and "Spring" back to our good habits! :)

I don't trust myself without all of you behind me ... keeping me honest, encouraging me and so forth!! The world is not the same as it once was ... at least I don't think so. I'm glad OH did well in your absence. I knew he could!!! Carry on!!! Back on track!!! We will do this together!!!

Excellent record you have created there flaxseed. Now you can enjoy watching yourself recover from that small gain. I have seen so many times what happens on Fatsecret to people who are afraid to even look at the scales. They almost invariably creep up as you describe in the first paragraph. You sound very upbeat and positive in this post, it's contagious you know. I hope they had WiFi in that Derby cafe, you wouldn't want to fall behind... ;-)
