Long time no see...

It's been a while since my last entry on here since I missed a week of WI due to holiday.

The holiday was great - a welcome break - but was about as far off plan as possible, with the exception of a night where my wife and i made everyone a SW friendly meal (they loved the virtually syn free coleslaw and the SW chips!). The result of all that was a 4lb gain - leaving me at the heaviest I've been all year.

My target for the next week is to shed those 4lb, which i am determined to do and have the tools and support to do so. The two key things that will help me do that are that my wife has rejoined SW and that we did our "big shop" post WI.

My wife has been supportive throughout my SW journey, but with her joining me again I know we will spur each other on. When we used to go to group people thought there was competition within our household to lose the most weight, but that has never been the case - we're both so proud of each other when we do well and quick to pick each other up if we don't.

Shopping after WI resulted in a trolley (and now a fridge and cupboards) full of super free, free and v low syn foods. A four day weekend will give me plenty of time to experiment with new recipes, or simply help keep on plan. It also means that I'll get more exercise through walking the dog - something that I've pledged to do more of, even if that does involve picking up poo on a regular basis!
