Successes/struggles of the week: It was my birthday week, eating out with many struggles with logging. My adult kids got me a 12 pack of chocolate covered strawberries that are some of the best things I've ever tasted. I have no idea the calories of those. If I gain over the next few days, I'll get it back off though!

Success of the week: My average weight is finally back in my ideal range for the first time since one week in December. Before that it was November 2020. It had been right at 150.0 a couple more times, but not between 140 and 150.

Successes/Struggles:
April was a quiet month – a couple of days out and a short visit with my daughter, even Easter was low key. So, I’m starting May in a good place weight-wise.
However, I have holidays coming up now – we’ll see how that works out. Flying out to Kos later in May – first flight for over 2 years!

Tues 12: lunch out with daughters. Hard to track accurately, so taking it as a pass day.
Fri 15: family picnic lunch, and dinner. As above
Wed 20: Birthday 🥳 Meals out too difficult to track accurately
+ 2 more indulgent days 🤦‍♀️
Although I had 5 days over my goal, the overall monthly figure is a great improvement on past months.

Successes/struggles of the week: It was a very busy weekend as I was out of town, which came with lots of eating out, and associated water weight retention. As I hadn't yet fully gotten rid of water weight from the previous week, this just added more on top of that, pushing me up pretty high out of range.

Successes/Struggles:
I was away in my motorhome for a few days last week. Did lots of walking (sightseeing) and came home a little lighter than before I went away in spite of ice cream, beer and cheesecake!
This week I fly out to Kos for 2 weeks but weight wise I’m in a good place and I will be cycling, walking and swimming while I’m away.
