I've piked!!

Firstly thanks so much for the lovely comments some of you have left me. It's very nice that as a new blogger you have still taken the time to pass on your support - it is very appreciated and I hope that over time I will be able to reciprocate. Not that I want anyone else to be miserable of course!!!

Now a strange thing has happened since I started blogging. Last week I stayed the same weight and this week I have put on 500gm. I know it's not much but it's really odd that in the 32 weeks I have been "Back On Track" this is the first time I have had a plateau and then a gain. Not impressed but on the bright side I'm glad it didn't happen in the first couple of months as the habits weren't formed yet and I might have thrown the towel in. I haven't done anything wrong food wise, oh yeah, you're probably saying, but I really haven't. The only thing different is I've increased the exercise for the WWA Xmas challenge. It's funny because over the last few months I have been really enjoying my exercise and pushing myself a lot. What I have discovered over the last 2 weeks is by setting myself the target of 15,500 I was finding it very difficult to reach that on work days. I had to go the gym, have a long walk and ride the exercycle which was starting to wear rather thin. When's a girl going to relax?????!!! Yesterday I decided that this was crazy. I felt under so much pressure and who was putting the pressure on - ME! Probably if I was seeing great results on the scales I would have persevered but as I haven't, I have thrown in the towel and downgraded my daily step target to 10,000. Oh the relief, now I can exercise because I want to not cos I have to! I know it all sounds a bit silly but I don't like giving up. We are often our own worst enemies aren't we.

As I said we are going to Sydney this weekend and I am going to relax with my eating. With staying with family a lot of it is out of my control but I am going to try not to be too paranoid. For 32 weeks I have been positively saintly, a right little goody too shoes in fact!!! Maybe my body needs a shakeup so we will shake it up. OOh maybe I'll have a Bailey's or a Tia Maria or a few Bundies. I'm excited now. Only joking, I will relax but hopefully I won't go too crazy. It's only 2 days, I can't do that much damage can I? LOL

Next Monday it will be back to normal again. I am always so scared to relax because that's when I find it so difficult to be careful again. This time will be different cos I've got my new blog friends watching!!!

Have a great weekend everyone. I'll see you next week.
